Advertise your availability to the neighborhood. Make up some fliers and stick them to the neighbors front door. Do extra chores for your parents (dust furniture, vacuum carpets, sweep floors, scrub windows). Negotiate the best fees you can, maybe half what they might pay a professional. Mow lawns. Charge different fees depending on the size of the yard. Sell some of your things that you don't want, with your parents permission. Walk dogs. They love it, and it would really help out the owner.

Give customers an option to buy the glasses with their lemonade. Offer drinks in paper or plastic cups for a cheaper price. Sell homemade cookies, brownies, cakes or muffins.

If a new business is opening ask if they would like a few signs and create them and sell them per bundle or sheet. Find out if there's a craft fair near you which charges small fees or no payment at all. Open your own booth with some friends and sell handmade cards, jewelry, or sculpey figures. Your booth can be as small as a card table or as big as a tent! Ask your parents if you can have a few friends over and go to the flea market and set up a booth and sell items there.
