money making...

[halfwaynowhere]

if this isn't the right place to post this, by all means, move it... I just can't think of where else it could go...
anyways, i am in dire need of cash.. well, not dire need, but i'd still like it, especially since the numbers in my bank account are slowly decreasing... plus i want to go all out with gifts this holiday season, so i really need to come across some money. so, does anybody have any ideas? i would sell stuff, but i don't have much worth selling... i can make stuff i guess, but i can't think of anything that anybody would be interested in... I have tried applying for jobs, but to no avail. nobody wants to hire me because i'm young (16) and inexperienced, besides, i have no transportation. so, if anybody can think of some ideas on how i can make money, even if it requires a small investment, it would be appreciated. thanks in advance!

DO any web design or programming?

Do a crapload of temp jobs. Before I got a better job, I considered doing that... you get paid each week!

i can do really basic web design, nothing fancy though, and i don't know any programming, so thats not really an option for me...

Could you make seasonal cards? Another option if you want to go all out for gifts this season is to make them all. You've got plenty of time and making your own presents can save you a lot of money if you choose the gift carefully.

Also, with all the parties etc coming up, perhaps you could do babysitting? My sis is the same age as you and earns £5/hour babysitting! (About $7.50/hour US-dollars)

Its wierd that you've applied to places and no one is hiring for the Christmas Shopping Season yet.
What about raking leaves for your neighbors? Or make a Pet Walking service? Or how about asking your relatives if they need any help with anything to help you earn money for the holidays.

I think the people who sell their diy stuff on cutxpaste (http://cutxpaste.com) don't make the greatest stuff but someone still wants to buy it because it's original.

if you're healthy, (and not afraid of needles) donate plasma. go to your local plasma center, and see how much theyre willing to pay, some will even set up a christmas account for you.

Is that allowed at 16?

Halfway, do you have stuff you want to sell? eBay's perfect for that.
