How can I make money as a kid, besides babysitting.?

My parents won't give me money to do things and get things I need so I was curious to how I could make some money because no one would hire me right now.

When i was 12, i created a business to help people in home maintenance things, such as taking trash out, snow shoveling, cleaning, weeding, etc. trust me, it works!

You can set up a little bake sale at your school right after it ends.
Maybe give free lemonade for a purchase of over $1.50 or other stuff like that.

If you don't like baking, you can ask your parents to buy you large stocks of cookies so you don't have to cook or waste any money.

EDIT: Kids can work. Just check in your state laws.
The maximum work time for juvenilles is around 2/3 hours.

I would go to your neighbors with a nice looking flyer describing what you are willing to do, and want to do. Like mowing lawns, helping in the gardens, washing cars, walking dogs, cleaning up dog poop (a friend of mine her sons did that and got paid five dollars every few days).

save up every single penny you've got (go to your local bank to exchange change for dollars) and then go to your local sams club or costco. get a box of mixed candy bars in bulk sell 'em for a buck each. i made $22 dollars by doing this.
