Week 2: Fallin' forward

Idea of the Week: Fall Pickup

With the change of seasons, Fall not only provides beautiful scenery but a great way for earning some extra cash. So try to spread the word throughout your neighborhood, roll up your sleeves and earn some dough through some old fashioned hard work.

1) Rake leaves! Leaves are falling like crazy right now, and many people simply do not have the time to pick them up. So grab a rake and some trash bags and head outside.

2) Mow Lawns. Since you just picked up all of the leaves, it is a perfect time to finish the job and mow the lawn.

3) Take out the trash. This is a simple chore really, but nobody likes to do it. While you are dumping your leaves and trimmings, offer to take out the trash cans for people weekly.

4) Shovel driveways. For those of you in snow country, there may not be too many leaves, but there is plenty of work shoveling snow from people’s driveways.

5) Wash cars. Everybody loves a clean car but might not have the time to go to the local carwash or to do it themselves. Try offering your services instead.

These are just a few ideas to get you started. Maybe you can make some flyers to help spread the word. Please always ask your parents for permission first and be safe while working. Good luck!
