MOD I have a problem I have a babysitting gig on Friday and the little girls parents wont be back until 11 p.m. and I normaly go to bed at 10 any tips on staying awake?And what is a good rate to charge per hour, i don't want to go overboard with pricing because this is my first babysitting gig and don't know what to charge.

 

Hey girl! First I would say ten dollars an hour is the norm.  Bring a book, homework or watch TV when you are waiting for the parents to come home.  If you do think you will snooze off, set an alarm for 10:45 just in case!

Heyy, so I need a way to earn money for gas (I am 16 and already got my license and a car) and already have money saved, but defiantly not enough for future gas and repairs. I have been interesting in being a photographer for 6 years now so I was thinking the way to make money is to make some business cards with a website and my cell number on them and tell people to contact me and I could do a cheap photo shoot with them for 50 or more $ which is hundreds less then what a professional costs for photos. My question is, do you think that this could work?? Is there anything that I should watch out for?? Is 50-100$ okay price for the labor, photos, editing and experience?


 


 


Hey Girl, It could work, but it might not be enough. I would reccomend you babysit or get a part time job, too. Look into a local photo shop. I'm sorry but I don't know the running price for photography and can't reccomend a certain price. You should keep it low at first because you havn't gone to school for photography, and the cheaper it is the more likely you will get customers.

Hi, im stating babysittiing and my elementary school(i just graduated 6th) has this board where people post things like pet siting and babysitting so i thought i should put something there but i read something on GL about u not wanting to put flyers and stuff on public places like grocery stores cause then anyone can have your phone #/email and its dangerous do u think it would be safe to put something in the school?i have to go there anywhere for my lil bro who'll be starting 2nd grade?
THANKS

 

hey! since the school board is constantly adult supervised, it should be ok, but it's good practice to always be cautious with your info no matter what, so just be aware that you're putting yourself out there.

**MOD MOD!!!!!
Hey! Ok so I have come up with a great idea to make extra moolah. The thing is school started already so the fairs and stuff are gone. Are there any other ways to get my biz out there? I don't know if I am allowed to sell at school (my high school may let us but im not 100% sure). How should I get the word out about my awesome new product?
Thanks!! <3




Hey girl, that's tough. You can try posting signs at your local library or telling your friends (letting it travel word of mouth). See if you can advertise in your neighborhood too.

MODMODMOD so i babysit for like only two families, but not so often! i also wanted to pet walk this summer. i have put out 50 flyers for the pet walking. i gave out cards for the babysitting! no one called for the walking!!!!! what do i do??!!??!! i want to make money because im fourteen! it isnt fair. one girl babysits for like everyone. just because she started before me....i need help for ideas! i need moolah! thanks




Pet walking is a hard thing to do because everyone is basically willing to walk their pet hah. I suggest you find a way to put out fliers for pet sitting. People always need someone to watch their pets. So try and find a way to get your name out as a pet sitter Smile xoxo kerra

I want to earn some money before school starts. For me school starts in a month. Is there any way I could earn $50 in a month? What job would you recommend?
Thanks for the help! ~Katie

Hey girls! If you like to read, write or both could you please join my club "Bookworms & Writers"? I am trying to reach at-least 55 members by the end of the week and right now I'm at 43. I would really appreciate your help! Smile

hi, i am going to start a pet sitting business and i am very prepared for it. i have already made flyers, information forms, and an email for my business. it is for my very small neighborhood where i know almost everyone.
1. my prices are $8 per hour and $15 per night. is that okay?
2. what should i do if someone drops off a mean dog?
thanks!
<3luvlife<3




 Those are good prices. As for the mean dog issue you just have to do your best to settle the dog down and find a way to control it. I bet no on e will really give you their mean dog though. That would be a bit ridiculous. Good luck! xoxo kerra

I am a certified babysitter, and I used to babysit these kids who loved me, and their mom would always tip me and tell me what an awesome job I was doing. Then, last summer I went away on vacation and when I came back, I found out that the kids mom had replaced me-with my best friend!! And to make things worse, she pays my best friend over double what she payed me!! Ugh babysitting is frusterating!!

School, for me at least, starts pretty soon; I have a little more than a month left. Im starting highschool, &I really want to buy some new stuff to start the upcoming four years fresh. This includes some new makeup [since mine is old &pretty much unusable ], clothes, accecories, shoes,&even some room stuff [ academic stuff ]. The problem is, I don't have enought money. How do I make enough to get what I'd like to? Please help! ~Thank you (:




Hey girl,

You could definitely start babysitting, which is a great way to make money. Just ask your parents if they know of any families that need babysitters, or put up fliers around the neighborhood. Good luck! x0x0
