I need to earn $167.25 in 2 weeks, HOW? |
I need to replace a friends ipod that I accidentally broke, or its my ***. I've already earned $31.75, but my time is running out. I have 2 more weeks to go, I am underage to apply for any job so I'm screwed. Can anyone give me ways I can earn money LEGALLY very soon! Here's a short list of jobs which you can create to generate income: 1. Learn calligraphy so that you can provide handwritten invitations and thank you notes to prospective wedding parties, birthday celebrations, etc. Seek out clients through wedding planners at nearby churches and temples. A starter calligraphy kit usually runs around $20 and anyone can easily pick up this skill. The going rate is usually $1 per hand addressed item. 2. Become a "poser" who assists wedding photographers in setting and arranging various individuals in group and single photographic positions. "Posers" carry around a sketch book of various sitting and standing poses which consists of onion skin overlays of various wedding pictures bound in albums. Again, contact local wedding photographers and wedding planners, accordingly. The hourly pay is around $10-$12 per hour and you are often invited to attend all dining activities. 3. Seek from your neighbors a gardner position which involves planting, weed removal, plant/tree trimming, light brush clearance. You will be using the neighbor's equipment and tools. Again, do not represent yourself as a lawn mower since there are any number of safety issues involved. A door-to-door solicitation of surrounding neighbors is required and you can charge between $6 to $9 per hour. 4. Offer policing/removal or clearance of trash services to surrounding neighbors which involve trash pickup within nearby residential area. Limit the extent of pickup to small areas and be aware that there are no hazardous terrain or elements involved in this process. Again, a door-to-door solicitation of neighbors is in order. You can charge between $6.75 to $7.50 per hour. 5. Acquire a set of window cleaning tools [a bucket, liquid window cleaner, sponge, squeegee, handle with an extension and a small step ladder] and solicit local businesses for your window cleaning services. However, be careful to limit the height of the window cleaning to no higher than one story. Charge $1 per window panel. 6. Become a proxy/stand-in for neighbors to allow delivery of goods and packages to your home/apartment. Acquire the authority to sign any receipt of incoming packages as an accepting neighbor. Charge $1 per each package handled by you. 7. Consider becoming a restaurant-cafe customer liaison by using your cell phone at restaurants-cafes to coordinate with the hostess to keep track of waiting customers. Whenever there's a very long period of time to activate a waiting list, you want to offer the restaurant your services so that customers do not have to stand around for any lengthy period of time. And when their name/assigned number comes up; you can call the upcoming customer's cell phone to tell them that they can return to the restaurant and be served. The call back fee is usually around $0.50 cents on a per head basis. For example, a couple would be charged $1.00 while children under 6 would not be charged. Placement of a plaque which outlines your fee schedule near the hostess station is sufficient to garner attention of prospective customers who will value your services since they can do other activities outside of the restaurant -- often beyond the range of any inhouse paging system. You realize that everyone has a cellphone and why not take advantage of the connectivity to make the diner's experience worthwhile. The restaurant will also appreciate the added service you are providing as a customer liaison. 8. Why not become a paid feeder servicing the disabled at nearby nursing, convalescent, assisted living/care centers and hospitals. It involves feeding food to patients who are unable to feed themselves. The starting rate is $8.00 per hour. The only downside is that one has to take precautions to wash one's hands after each feeding. A posting of your services [by a business card or flyer] on a reviewable bulletin board would be enough to generate customers. The paid feeder position is one of the fastest growing occupation at this time. Good luck! mow lawns or babysit. Have a yard sale...you will earn some $ while getting rid of unwanted items. You could ask your parents for the cash so you can have it before the time is up and work out a more flexible payment plan for them, maybe more chores around the house or they'll knock off a certain amount of cash if you get a certain grade etc or they would deduct it from your allowance for a certain amount of time... sell stuff on ebay, or do work around the house or for your neighbors. mow lawns, paint garages, anything manual. collect aluminum cans and bring them to a recycling agency. Play the lotto. Ok just kidding, that's a waste. use a metal detector to search the beach for a lost engagement ring (of course, you'd need to buy a metal detector). just a few ideas, get creative. Take some of your stuff down to the pawn shop or put it on e-bay. The iPod should have a warranty on it. I have a video iPod which I got in December and it came with a 1 year warranty. Check when he got the iPod and if its within a year you can get a new one for free. (If your friend doesn't have the info., check at the store where he got it or online because you have to register the product number). If he got it over a year ago then you shouldn't have to pay $200 for it. After about a year, iPod batteries shart to short out anyway. Your friend shouldn't get a brand new iPod if the one you broke is old. Check how much a used one is on amazon.com, it's a more accurate replacement price. |
