How to make money for concert tickets as a teen?
17/f/South Africa
I am trying to save money for a Demi Lovato concert ticket. Unfortunately I can't do much jobs because im in my final year of school and working every weekend from morning to night will be to stressful and to busy for me and most jobs I will only make minimum wage and I'll never get enough in time for the concert. I've started tutoring my friend math once a week but that isn't much money. I am going to apply to do promotions because then I can choose when I want to do it and it won't be the entire day. What are other ways to make enough money that won't be to time taking?
My sister said I should go and make a poster and dress up on the streets, because people do it every year when it comes to this huge party that comes to our country and they stand by the traffic lights and get money but I could do it for the concert. What else is there? People won't really trust babysitting as I'm a teen and babysitters isn't really popular in my area and neither is dog walking/dog sitting and that won't be enough money. Thanks.

YOu already said no to babysitting and dog care which works for teens. Since you are in Africa, I don't know what the needs are around there other than the ones named. All I can think of then is asking any elderly in the area if they need help with something and would pay you a certain amount to do it. I know it's tough for elderly who no longer drive a car and maybe thats not even normal for your area, but they need to get groceries and you could offer services to go with them and help or if they know you well already and trust you, perhaps they'd send you with a list and money to shop for them. I don't know if there is anything like lawns in your area or gardens. But if someone needs help with that, perhaps that might work. Any kind of help you can offer someone who is too busy to do it themselves or the elderly would be a good idea. Then, besides tutoring, if you have any special talent, perhaps you can offer that for pay. One that may be fun if people there throw Birthday parties for children is to offer Mom's your help for the party. If you are good at handling kids, and like to do story telling or come up with acts for a puppet show and organize other games for the party, it would take a worry off the Mom because that is a lot of work for just one person to come up with ideas and run the games. This may be the best but you'd have to get the word out and advertise on ad boards around town leaving your name and number. If the parties have a theme like Princess, you can purchase a toy jewel ring, or the parent could, and make up a game of Princesses having to find their lost jewel which you have hidden somewhere in the yard or the room. If you need party game ideas, there should be plenty to find on the internet. Hope this helps you.
