Hi Jackson,
You can offer your services in something that you do well and preferably enjoy.
You can offer to mow the lawn or generally take care of the garden for someone. You can offer help with cleaning out a basement or shack. You can offer to wash cars, clean windows or repair bicycles. If you know how to paint a house/fence/room, you can offer those services. If you are good with kids, you can babysit. There are classes for that e.g. from the Red Cross.
If you are good at school, you can offer to tutor kids younger than yourself. If you are a proficient piano player, you can teach piano for younger kids. If you are a computer wiz you can offer to do computer-related work, maybe just install and update software for elderly neighbors, maybe design a homepage for someone, maybe even some programming. If you have any other talents e.g. in art or craft you can try to get the word out and sell. in that case you can think about selling online. If you know how to cook or bake, you could sell cookies or ready meals around the neighborhood.
I am assuming you are young, maybe too young to get any regular jobs or drive a car? Neighbors and friends of your parents or parents of your friends and school mates are your best bet. Word of mouth or maybe some flyers that you hand out in the neighborhood are probably enough to get some interest.
I hope this helps for now! All the best to you!

You can offer to help people around you with things like tutoring, pet sitting, babysitting, lawn care, or tech help (like setting up devices or fixing computers). You can also make money doing small jobs for neighbors—cleaning, car washing, or running errands. Just start by asking friends or family if they need help with anything!
