Hey Winter,
So Making money as a 14-year-old is definitely possible, and you don’t have to resort to asking your parents for a loan (again). Whether you want to buy that new hoodie or finally get that cool gaming setup, there’s a whole world of opportunities to help you fill your wallet. You just have to give a little push to do it! 😉
First up, selling your skills. If you're good at drawing, writing, or even crafting tiny sculptures of your favorite animals, there's a place for you. Websites like Fiverr or Etsy are perfect for showcasing your talents. Whether you’re creating custom art or writing poems about how much you love pizza (hey, no judgment), someone out there will pay for your creativity. Plus, you’ll be living the dream of doing what you love and getting paid for it!
Next, there’s tutoring. Are you a math whiz or can you spell "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" without breaking a sweat? Why not put those smarts to use by tutoring younger kids? Parents are basically desperate for help when it comes to homework, and you can be the hero they never knew they needed. It’s like being a teacher... but without the long meetings and stacks of papers to grade. You can even teach languages online, it pays well.
If you’re into the online gig economy (because we all love the internet), you can find websites that pay you for easy tasks like taking surveys, watching videos, or testing apps. Just make sure to double-check with your parents to avoid accidentally joining a "mystery shopping" scam from some guy named Bob. Stick to trusted platforms, and you could be making money from the comfort of your bed. Pajamas optional, of course.
For those of you who prefer more hands-on work (you know, actual movement beyond tapping your phone), try offering services like yard work or babysitting. Lawn mowing, leaf raking, or watching over someone’s hyperactive toddler can be a great way to make money while avoiding any serious brain work. Plus, your neighbors will think you’re responsible... even if you’re still using TikTok tutorials to figure out how to fold fitted sheets.
Speaking of pets—dog walking or pet sitting is a solid option. If you’ve got a soft spot for animals, this is the perfect way to make money. You get to hang out with cute pups and kittens while getting paid. Plus, when you tell people you’re "working" by spending the afternoon with a dog named Mr. Fluffington, it definitely sounds cooler than it actually is.
If you’re into decluttering (and who isn’t?), sell your old stuff online or open up a sale shop infront your house. Whether it’s old toys, clothes, or books you never read, there are plenty of platforms where you can turn your "junk" into cash. It’s like having a garage sale, but without the sunburn and awkward small talk with neighbors. You get to feel like a professional entrepreneur while someone else gets your slightly-used stuff. Everyone wins!
And for the gaming enthusiasts—this is your moment. Twitch and YouTube are like the gold mines of entertainment, and you don’t have to be the best gamer in the world to join in. People watch others for fun, personality, and the occasional epic fail. You don’t have to be a pro, but you do need to bring your unique flair. Maybe you’re the gamer who laughs at your own mistakes, or the one who can make even a simple puzzle game look dramatic. Over time, you could be earning money from ads, donations, and sponsorships. Just don’t forget to tell everyone that you’re working hard while eating pizza and playing video games.
The key to all this is staying positive. It might take some time to build your little empire, but if you keep pushing and learning along the way, soon you’ll have money in your pocket, snacks on your desk, and maybe even that hoodie you’ve been eyeing. Set goals, keep improving your skills, and don’t forget to enjoy the process.
The world is full of ways to make money, so get creative. Whether you’re selling your art, tutoring your neighbors, walking dogs, or making a YouTube channel dedicated to petting your cat, there’s something for everyone. Just stay focused, keep being yourself, and most importantly—have fun with it! Your future self will thank you. And i am here for any guidance you need just call out-I mean question or feedback out.

Another thought, I have seen folks post services on the local Facebook community group for help with babysitting, cleaning and odds and ends jobs. This might be a good avenue as well

I know it is frustrating for you right now. I had the same problem when I was your age. Do not give up. Keep trying. I was ready to give up, then I was offered a job. It did not pay much. But it was a start. Be persistent, have a good work ethic, be respectful, and be on time. Do what you say you will do. Do not leave a job unfinished. Earn respect with hard work and education. I hope this helps you.
