Thread: Tell Me How to Make Money as a 16 Year Old!

I like the bike idea, maybe not bikes but something like that that you enjoy. My brother and I both play tennis and he strings rackets which get him about $10 each. I'd say find something you enjoy to do and find a way to make money in it. It might not be too much money but you will be enjoying it and maybe get more business and make more money. There are tons of things I want as a 17-year-old but I don't have the time or desire to get a real job. Maybe also find some older people who live around you and help them out. My friend gets paid like $20 a week from a woman for simply carrying a 2 bags of garbage out to curb. Just keep your eyes open for oppurtunities like that and you'll bring money in from various sources that can really add up.

You should fly to China, buy a whole load of goods and then sell them back here. If you can't speak Mandarin you don't even need it, just take a cheap Easyjet flight or something and you will make your 7K easily.

Should I make a thread in here asking how to convince my parents to go to China or let me go to China?

Fail.

Your parents won't let you do that? Oh.
Hmmn. Maybe they could come too if they won't let you go.

Or how to make 7k plus the cost of round-trip airfare, hotel, local transport, and shipping of goods?

Paid for with what? He's broke, remember?

dah, i just got the great idea. since i'm 16 and also want to make some money i come up with some ideas at random situations. i just got this great idea of start to work at an old peoples house or perhaps with small children. it's good for the future to have been working close to people. Good Luck =D

Here's a great business idea. (maybe?)

Give people random numbers to play in the lottery, telling them they are mystically picked from your dreams. Tell them they can play them for free, but if they hit money, to give you a 1% donation for your dream studies.

Would I have to buy tickets or would they?

What you need is 1 van and 4 eager girls. Drive them to parties where there are drunk guys and let them do their work.

Lol on this website bombshock.com there is a guide to pimping if u want u can make all the money u need in 1 night just need a girl to work for you....

That's disgusting, dragonoverlord, you meathead.

Anyways, the only real honest way for a 16 year old to make money fast, clean and easy is to either sell drugs or your body. It may not be clean, it may not be easy, but it definately is fast.

But it is such an awesome idea.

Haha speaking of not-so-moral ways to do things, how about a fake raffle? I've been mulling the idea in my head for ages, maybe you could use it. Set it up like it's for real, make some brochures showing prizes, and have a booth thing haha. Hell you can just set up in the street. Then buy some raffle tickets off ebay and start making money. And no one expects to win a raffle so there will be no problems. Haha but only if you're Superbad.

He could also have a real raffle and not take a chance on going to prison.

FTW

Work for your father or mother if they're high up in the company.

My dad needed someone to do some basic office work last summer so I worked for him for about 4 weeks even though I was "technically" not old enough. I was earning around £40 a week. Which was great. It also gave me some work experience in an office, which I can put on my CV.

But he has no money? Wasn't that the whole idea of the thread? lol but yes a real raffle would be preferable.

EDIT: Oh yeah and he's 16, soooo his chances of going to prison for holding a fake raffle = very slim
