Fundraising suggestions
im only doing this for people in my neighborhood.. um please provide more ideas for me, a 14 year old girl in the 8th grade to earn more money so i can go on this special field trip to japan during summer! and if the money im requesting is too little or too much for the job being done. thanks for the help! :)
$2 per day: watering your plants (when you are away, or have no time.)
$3 per hour: helping with other gardening needs (excluding mowing your lawn.)
$3 per pet, per day: taking care of your pet during vacation (pets that stay in cages.)
$5 (prices may vary): raking leaves
$5 (prices may vary): retyping word documents (I am a fast typer, and will correct any typos or misspellings for you, if that is what you desire.)
$5: washing your car.
$5 per hour: babysitting (1 year and up. I am experienced and have helped taking care of my 3 year old brother for years, as well as other kids during parties when their parents are busy.)
$5 per hour: tutoring kids in math (any grade, up to grade 7. I have been in Advanced Math since the 3rd grade, and have always been getting A and B grades with the subject. I am particularly good at teaching Algebra to kids who could use some tutoring. Must at least be 6 years old to be tutored)
$8 per hour: tutoring AND babysitting your kids. (Must be at least 6 years old to be tutored)
$10 (prices may vary): shoveling snow (front porch as well as driveway.)
$15 (prices may vary) drawing a portrait of you or somebody in your family, except animals. (I have won many awards for my achievements in art, since Elementary School. One of my pieces was even featured in for several months in an important New Jersey state building in Trenton, where I won an award for it in the 6th grade. This year, I have two pieces that will be entered in the Somerset County Teen Arts festival.)

Maybe give some free advice about: Personal Finance?
just at first glance, your prices are WAY low.
gardening help should be 7-10 dollars an hour
i used to be able to get 15 dollars to walk a couple dogs for an hour. and you charging 3 bucks for house sitting a pet?! man i used to get fifty dollars a day for that.
tutoring (if your good) should definitely be a much higher price as well (7-13).
my advice for pitching the service is to make it seem like
1.you do a really good job
2. you really know what your doing
3. its worth their money.
I know it can be hard to ask for more money at times but thats a part of business negotiations and growing up = ) Honestly think tho..in the real market for those services (tutoring, childcare, petcare, garden matinance) have a decently established pay rate.
oh and im sure being a little girl and flashing a big smile will help sucker a few extra dollars as well.
OVER ALL you asking for way to LITTLE. id feel bad paying a 15y/o girl 3 dollars to do any type of lawn work.
