i am a kid and i want to walk dogs to get some money.
i have been practicing by walking my dog and i have gotten
pretty good.i just wanted to know if it sounded good to make
flyer's and pass them out and go door to door asking people if they want me to walk their dog and give them a flier so they can contact me.
So let me know what you think! :)


Answer:
No to passing out flyers to strangers. Make a list of the things you can do like walking a dog, painting, cleaning out a garage or basement, yard work, babysitting, dogsitting, etc. Put on the list that you are saving to go to summer camp (or whatever so they know you just aren't bored and are earning extra money). Then only take these to people you and your parents know in the neighborhood, friends, and relatives. No strangers because you could hand one to some guy that just got out of prison and is a pedophile.

Answer:
I would ask your age. That can be perilous. Maybe start out by asking only people you know. Maybe some of your parents friends, or memebers of your church. You could check local senior assistant living complexes. Check with the offices to see if any residents have pets. Older people like to see a kid trying to make an honest buck. Word of mouth is going to be your best tool. Once you get a few customers ask them if they’ve any one they can possibly refer you to? Also, during the summer time part of your marketing stradegoy could be to help get peoples pets outside while they’re at work. Kind of like dog sitting for the day while you're off for summer break.
Good Luck, I think its great to earn your own money, just remember one thing, you cant trust anyone!

Answer:
sometimes
