What are the methods of making money through manual labor?

[Alishamoi]

I want to earn some money by working at home for school expenses. What kind of jobs can you suggest?

I’m not sure what someone your age could really do legally. I think here in the states you can work when you’re 16 legally, but you’re limited on your hours as most teens that age are still in school. You could try something online. I’m not sure if you have some skills that you can utilize that you’re good at. I think at your age even setting up a business online might require your parents to approve it. What about babysitting? Maybe get CPR certified, take a few classes on it to improve your chances of getting babysitting jobs.

In California were I live:

House cleaning can earn $20-$25 per hour.
Yard work can earn $25-$35 per hour if you can dig, pull weeds, prune trees and bushes, and run a weed trimmer.

Some home owners can't or don't want to do their own manual labor and would rather pay someone to do it for them.

@Lliam really? That's great if I work for 10 hours I can earn $250 and I can get $7500 in a month.

@MackBoy. Of course, you have to be good at it and work hard. You have to prove your value.
The other advantages to work like that are, you are independent and can set your own hours. Plus, you often get paid in cash.

You can’t do manual labor at home unless your parents are paying you. When I was around your age my dad would offer my brother and I money for chores: sweeping, mopping, vacuuming, lawn mowing, laundry, etc.


I never did them bc $5 a chore never seemed worth it to me. My brother did it tho, and he saved up good money too.

There is a person who sounds home quilted crochet pandas for $77 online. They might take hours to make but if you sell it to a rich country like England, you could make a lot of income from it.

Working from home kinda closes your window of opportunities by a lot

Jobs that can't be outsourced: Plumber, electrician, carpenter, welder, bladesmith, farrier...

Data entry is the one I could think of that is needed in every country.
