How can my daughter earn some extra pocket money?

My 8-yr-old daughter is looking for some novel ways to earn some pocket money to fund the costs of keeping a rabbit. She has done some research and has worked out a budget. She needs to make £4-5 profit / month to cover food %26amp; bedding.


She likes writing and arts %26amp; crafts and will have access to the internet including my ebay account.


Looking for great suggestions.

How can my daughter earn some extra pocket money?
I never believe in paying children to help around the house. So here are my suggestions:





1) She could start a blog on rabbits or arts and crafts and earn a bit by posting advertising space. This takes a bit of learning but a 13 year old has been doing it and been earning like $4,000/mo. (Carl Ocab - www.carlocab.com)


2) She could do some bracelets and necklaces to be sold in ebay.
Reply:i think before you bought her the rabbit you should of been aware of the cost of keeping it to have a young person of this age doing chores or working to keep a pet is wrong and she is of to early a age to be responsible for making money to have what she wants Dave
Reply:There's a few ideas that come to mind. She sounds creative, so let her express it as art (drawing, painting, etc.) Help her to put them in some classy frames and sell them. Something that looks like Picasso can be very marketable. She can also bake cupcakes, brownies, muffins, and cookies (with your help), decorate them, and sell them as gourmet treats in work places such as offices, banks, etc. You can help her to wrap them up in pretty cellophane and ribbons - perfect treats for anyone. You know how much adults love delicious treats.

Reply:Could she do a few little chores around the home which could have monetary compensation from you, or do you do that already?
Reply:I was reading up on the same thing the other day and this article gave me some good pointers ... it's not a way to get rich but may help you or her earn a few extra quid:

I particularly like the site which pays you for submitting digital photos as that helps me pay for one of my hobbies!!





I'm not sure if any of these sites have a minimum age limit so you may want to check.
Reply:At 8 years old there is not a lot she can do. the age for a paper round is 13 . Good money my son dose 2 each morning before school and gets £30 per week .she could do jobs around the house and you could give her some money but you must teach her to respect money and that some jobs she dose for you arnt for money like makeing her bed .They are what she should do any way .
Reply:get her into making jewelry......this guy %26amp; his wife i know make that stuff and make a killing off of it.....prolly gonna be her best bet.......just make stuff that looks really classy......and you can make matching sets and stuff. it might take a few for sales to start......but once they start, she'll make more doing this than about anything else i could imagine.
Reply:Hi


at 8 she should be focusing on playing with and respecting the rabbit - not on its upkeep. By all means use this as a way of her doing household chores in exchange for 'cash' - this develops domestic responsibilities without being overly consuming.





In the UK it is illegal for her to 'work' so unless she happens to be good at art - and you are prepared to stand at a market stall and sell her work, I would give up on this.





Come on you are only young once - if you cannot afford to keep the rabbit tell her - but do not take away her childhood this early for capitalism.





Saving her birthday/ Christmas money to buy the rabbit/ cage is fine - but the upkeep....





My daughter has wanted another pet for months - she will be saving for it at Christmas then we will buy it together. It is about responsibility and fun... not one or the other for children
