how do i get money to buy a new nano clone?
 

Ok, 2 weeks ago I posted about my player not being able to turn on because the switch was broken. I need to save up to buy a new one. Today my dad bought me 5 cases that fit my player. He tried turning it on and I told him it ran out of battery. I need to replace my player but I don't have the money. Right now I have 11 USD that I have been saving for some time. I would like to get a 1gb player to replace my 2gb. My dad will never know. It needs to have a 1.5 inch screen.
How will I get the money in time. Does anybody know any sites for making money online? I'm only 13 and I don't know my dad's paypal acount id because he changed it. I could ask him. I'm already working my butt off at 2 sites. mylot.com and slashmysearch.com
I've already missed 2 parties to work at those sites, and I only make like 50 cents a day. Can somebody send me a little bit of money over paypal or something? I need 20 more dollars. I've made 3 bucks on myLot. I don't get allowance. What should I do? Plz don't tell me to tell my dad, you guys don't know my dad. Even if somebody bigger and stronger than me took it and broke it, it would be the same as me dropping it in a glass of water.
This is serious, only reply if you're trying to help.

pmilladcs,

You say in your post you are 13, but your user profile saids you are 18 years old..... I'm alittle confused.

I remember what it's like to be 13 years old and trying to find money. I remember at 13 years old, I was doing newspaper deliveries and picking tomatoes from a grower down the road. Getting paid sh*t money for delivering newspaper in the rain and cold wasn't the best thing, but it still made me money. I didn't get the minimum pay at that age too. Student rates was about half the minimum adult rate.

Have you thought about getting a part time job? I think making money for yourself builds character and a real appreciation for money. Working 2-3 hours picking tomatoes and only getting getting a few bucks for it, makes you really appreciate the money you got from it.

I even stocked shelfs at the local department store when I was young too. Just anything and everything to save abit of money all helps and adds up in the end.

Ask your parents to help out with chores and get alittle money for it? Mow the money for a couple of bucks for your parents? I'm sure they'll appreciate the help as well.

With regards to those websites, are you an affiliate with them and get paid for using their services, is that right? Or something else?

Those are only suggestions and hopefully they might help. Not sure what the employment laws are in your country but we are allowed to work at the age of 13 years old. Crap jobs though, but at least it's some way of getting money.

First off I think your full of shit!. If you are really that worried about it I offered you a way to receive the exact same player as you have now even a 2GB player to make a video of you smashing your piece of crap you have now. You replied by saying OH ya I will smash it and make the video and the video will be posted here tomorrow. Then no video or you for days. Now you say please someone send me money to my Paypal "wait you have your own Paypal account?" But in this post you say you would use your dads but don't know his info. I think he would be more pissed off to find out that you went into his Paypal account then finding out your player is broken. Duh!. Do you really think we are all that damn stupid?. And even if your working them websites and making 50 cents a day it would take you forever to make enough to get a player and besides that I just went and read those websites and they wont even payout until you earn $50 or more. So it all sounds like a big ball of stinky shit to me. :lol:



Pocket-Nano

pocket_nano, you never gave me any details at all. i asked for them 3 times.
my dad let me use his acount to sign up for mylot, that has a minimum payout of 10 dollars. slashmysearch.com has a minimum payout of 50 dollars. yes alot.
anyways he let me use his paypal to sign up for those sites.
what's a big ball of stinky shit? u dont think i'm trying to get a new player?
and lets say i went along with smashing my player. then when my dad comes the next day with 5 cases and asks for it to see if it fits i should say "i smashed it, but don't worry, i recorded it. now some guy on the internet is going to send me a new one because i broke it"
do you know how stupid that sounds? seriously, reread what you write.
admin, i do chores daily. i don't get paid, i never thought about getting paid for doing that. i asked my dad if i could start getting 5 dollars a week for allowance and explained to him how it's not that much money and he said "aleks, we really don't have money. i'm not lying to you. if i had money i would give it to you. but i don't, so ur just gonna have to wait"
hmmm.......
i live in north dakota brrrr no news paper routes cuz i have to be 14.
i'm a go and work at those sites

ps if ur thinking like pocket_nano, i didn't lie about anything. i seriously don't kno what to do.

pmilladcs,

I didn't realise you had a discussion with your dad about getting paid for the chores.

You said he's bought 5 cases already. Can you tell him to return it and you would gather use that money to save for something else? I'm sure you don't need 5 cases. One would be enough.

I would consider asking around the local stores to see if they have any part time work or checking the local paper. A job might be a way to go to get abit of money.

North Dakota is in the USA right? You might wan tto change your profile on the site, as it saids you are from Yugoslavia as well. Unless you're born there? That might be why.

I don't believe in the 'get rich quick' schemes around the internet. If there was, then everyone would be rich but we're all not.

Here's an idea, what about selling stuff you don't need anymore? Music CD's, games, DVD's, stuff you don't use anymore.

great idea i should sell stuff. alotta my friends have nanos. well everybody does. i have 6 cases. i'll keep only one.
yes North Dakota is in the US. It's a state.
we're not very well known. I'll change the flags, it's just that i was born in Yugoslavia.
I would definately get a job but in the US you can't get a job legally untill you're 14.
He bought the cases off of ebay for 6 dollars including the shipping. I could definately sell em for quite a bit of money.
Can you send checks to other ppl over paypal?
i think there's some ppl that might do that on mylot.
oh, and my goal is 30 dollars.
where do you think is the cheapest place to get nano clones?

Uxcell? The shipping is 5 usd...or eBay(a bit to risky)

And I have the same problem, I need cash for mp4 players ^_^

Well the things I did for money when I was 13:
1---Collect door-to-door old newspapers, sold them to a paper recycling unit, 2 cents a kilo, but hey, it adds up.
2---Rip old abandoned houses of led pipes, rain sinks, the led used on the bottom of window panes, the same for copper pipes, sold them at a metal recycling shop. Made way more money.
3---Wash cars for neighbors, fast money!
4---In wintertime, clear sidewalks and entry lawns from snow for money (do some old folk's driveway's for free, work on your karma)
5---Birthdays are a great way to collect, ask money "coz you are saving up for something nice". Ask money for a movie or whatever you do on weekends, don't go to the theater of course, you want to save, right?

Trade in your dad for something else, if you are afraid to mention your bad luck, what to do if anything bad of real importance happens to you, will he beat you up???
Serious: why not just walk up to him and say: "dad I can't start up my chipod, I think it just died, is there a warranty on it?"", just out of the blue. Being honest about things is better to maintain than lies, you will get caught one day, and all your words will be doubted from then on.

Last, whatever I did for money, getting it, or getting nothing at all, I NEVER EVER BEGGED for others to pay my way. Neither should you.

Looks like you just got busted lying once...

And seriously, if you really wanted to get money, you wouldn't be spending time on websites trying to get 50c a day, rather going out into your neighborhood and mowing lawns, washing cars, maybe even babysitting to get the money. What this comes down to is hard work, and are you willing to do it?

pmilladcs , i can't agree more with what Que said.

Exchange some hardwork (washing cars, mow lawns, etc) for some extra money would be the best way to solve your problem. No pain no gain.

I won't say you're begging for money, but earning money through websites don't really get you anywhere. Unless of course you own a site with a million hits per day, then people would pay to advert on your site.

But that aside, real money comes through hardwork, be it $2 for washing a car or something. If you can get 5 or 6 neighbours and wash their cars once a week, you'll get $10-12 per week extra. And it would just probably take you 30-60mins per wash. Far better than 50cents per day on those sites.

I know how it feels if your dad finds out the player is bricked. You might get a scolding or beating for a day or two, but he isin't gonna do that forever. Being honest is what makes you a better man in the future.

If i was in your shoes, i'll probably try to raise the money to get a replacement, if i can't i'll just have to tell my dad about it. At least i'll know i tried to do something about it. And your dad would know it in his heart that his son is honest and not afraid to own up to something you have done.
