How do I earn money at 14?

[Anonymous]

I’m 14 and since I go out with my friends, my mom stopped giving me money (I don’t know why) and she says she doesn’t have money to give me but she always buys games for my brother. I want to earn money without her knowing and I want a job where she won’t get suspicious of me. Does anyone have any recommendations? I am turning 15 in a few months so at least I will have more job options.

I was dealing in scrap metal, started out in jewellery and had started my selling in school venture and I'll break them down for you

Scrap metal is dirty and slow but generally free

Jewellery was clean and could be fast and isn't exactly cheap

School sales were my best money at that point because it was clean, fast and cheap... I'd recommend buying big packs for stuff as cheap as possible and be ready to negotiate (I got to making £50 a week above an outlay of £55 so almost doubling up)

Plenty of options but don't hide it from your parents. Babysit, lifeguard, dog walk, lawn care, pet sitting are just a few. If you're good at any subjects in school, you can tutor. If you like tools and stuff, help people assemble furniture like from Ikea. Offer to clean garages or basements and organize houses. Always make sure someone knows where you are and you have a phone with you or something like an Apple Air tag. By the way, I say let your parents know what you're doing because they will probably applaud your initiative.

Become a Youtuber or blogger. If you don't have your own computer, write the drafts at home and write them at school

What are you willing to do, like manual labor or what?

U can be a copy writer. Or a part time coder that learnt from udemy. Or even a free lancing artist . even provide normal services like window cleaning and all cheaper than normal people . Understand what people need and then charge ur margins so that u remain competetive . And learn to advertise urself indirectly and directly .

Babysitting is a legitimate way to earn money at your age. You wouldn't have to hide it from your mother.
