You can come up with a service to offer on Fiverr, people pay $5 or more (with added stuff) and it's easy to sit at home and make money. I made over $2000 in one week just doing video testimonials for people.

get a job as a part time waiter thats what i do or if you have old video games dvds or iphones pawn them

you could ask your perants if they need anything done around the house or offer to help neighbours with their garden

i made a killing working at KFC at your age

it's a fried chiecken place

in other words : GET A JOB

i worked weekends only,, ,plenty of time to focus on school

Okay, I'm 16 years old and I need money for a cosplay. Anyone who does that knows it's expensive. Anyway, what can I do to make money? I can't do lawn mowing and stuff. I need other ways.

I was considering making things and selling them on Etsy, but is that really profitable?

Or doing a photo/video editing/DVD business.

I'd love to go busking but I don't know how to play guitar and I probably need a permit, so that's not really an option.

I'm good with technology and I'm quite creative, though I suck at drawing.

Any other ideas? I know I'm old enough to get a job but I don't want to get one because I need to focus on school just now. Well, it's the Summer holidays, so I need something to do that's profitable.
