If your parents are pinching pennies, you may need to buy your own music, games, and fast food. Here are some tips to help you earn cash.

To complete this How-To you will need:

A pen and paper
Resumes and flyers
Thank-you notes

Warning: Check with your school counselor or the department of labor to learn about state regulations if you are under 16.

Step 1: Get permission from your parents and agree on a schedule and transportation plan.

Step 2: Make a list of the types of jobs that you can do and where you can look.

Tip: If you're under 16, consider starting your own business. You can babysit, walk dogs, or cut lawns.

Step 3: Network with neighbors, business owners, school staff, church members, and local job service counselors.

Step 4: Market yourself by creating a resume and distributing flyers.

Step 5: Apply for the jobs you've identified on your list. Dress neatly and be courteous.

Tip: The more people you talk to, the better you'll get -- and the more comfortable you'll be talking to adults.

Step 6: Send thank-you notes to the people who interviewed you. You never know when the impression you make may reap unexpected rewards!
