19/f. I am a full time college student and during the school year, there's no way i can have a job. i was thinking of getting a summer job, but right now i can't find one. i've searched EVERYWHERE! it's not like i haven't. i just need need to make some extra cash on the side. it doesn't have to be a lot. i'd just like to be able to buy my boyfriend things. he always buys me gifts and cute things and I feel bad sometimes because i want to get him stuff too. he doesn't work either but his parents give him money. my parents barely make any money, at least not enough so they can give me for spending money. i just want to make maybe like $400 a month. less than that is ok too. just spending money. i make these really amazing chocolate lollipops and i use to sell them in high school for fundraisers. but, i don't know if people would buy them now. something like that would be good for me. just something i can do. i can't really handle a job right now. i tried that and i couldn't do it. i don't have the money to pay for college and i have a full scholarship because i have good grades, so i need to keep them up. tutoring is a little harder for me to do because i don't know that many kids other than my family and i wouldn't charge them. any ideas on what i can do to get some spending money on the side but that it won't interfere with my school. thanks!
I do this site called cashcrate.com and you fill out surveys for a few bucks. It's tedious but you can make quite a lot of money if you really want to. I only make like 30$ a month, you can definitely make more though.
I also go on this website called helium.com and you submit essays and articles and you can get paid for them. You get paid upfront (anywhere from .50 to 2.50 dollars an article) plus you get paid each time someone finds your article using google. People earn hundreds a month doing this, as for me, it's about ten bucks. However, I don't spend the time writing articles, I just take my school articles (after they're graded) and submit them to that site.

You don't have to over charge, You don't have to under charge just ask for about 8-10 dollars an hour. Most mothers would rather hire someone who is older and more mature then rather hire some 13 year old and by putting out ads you have a hire chance at getting a phone call.
You could also try dog walking, Many people don't always have time to walk their dogs while they are at work and someone needs to let the dogs out to go to the bathroom that could be you.
If you make some chocolate lollipops, It wouldn't hurt to try and sell them even if you sold them in packs of 3 for 2 bucks, Money is money and it all ads up in the end. If you have a senior center nearby you could try selling them there.
There are always ideas out there, You just have to find them but I would try doing these things I suggest and hopefully it all works out for you.
