Hello, Kitana !
Your age group usually doesn't have the experience or time to be employed online. Fourteen years old is the legal age for employment in Washington state, also, so I would not advise looking for or attempting online work especially if you have no work experience yet and may be looking for your very first job. In Washington State, hiring youth under 14 requires employers to get specific permissions and exemptions. This includes the employer going to court to obtain a superior court judge's permission and then there are specific rules the employer has to follow. I will reorient you to in person, on site opportunities that you can do at age 13 in your state. Also, we do not "have jobs" here at Career Village, but we certainly can guide you to what is doable and appropriate for your circumstances.
The Youth Employment Programs in your town start for students at age 16, so in three more years you can ask your guidance counselor to refer you to those programs. Ask your parent to contact the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries to ask about any exceptional employment programs that are few and far between for 13 year olds.
The only work that you can do in Washington State legally at age 12 and 13, and it comes with lots of rules, is agricultural work, working on a farm. Since you do not have work experience as yet, this might be a good first job and you can only work when school is not in session.
It's great that you want to start earning money, but the only other thing that you can do right now is to hold yard sales/ tag sales during the comfortable weather months. This would be cash in hand on the day you do the sales. Another thing that you can probably get paid for privately because you probably do it everyday anyway is housecleaning. Also consider being a Mother's Helper which entails helping a parent out while they are home with tasks they don't have time to do. I don't recommend babysitting just yet until you obtain more life and social experience as there's a lot of insight and responsibility to watch over children. Only you know what you can do well enough to get paid for. Have your parents spread the word around the neighborhood that you do this work. Your parents will need to know what you're doing and possibly provide safe transportation to people's homes.
So, it's awesome that you want to start making money right now, but you'll have to take it slow and as you gain skills, experience and know more about how employment is done, you will advance and be able to have other opportunities as you progress. I hope this helps and I wish you all the best ! And remember, for best results, work in person on site, not online at this time.

There are many ways to make money on-line. Given your age and the fact that you are still just beginning to add to your skills and knowledge, one possible opportunity would be acting as a remote admin or support. Here's more on that below. Data entry is probably a good one because you can learn that easily based on the type of data and forms to fill on-line. Maybe you can look at e-mail management if you have experience with Outlook or other e-mail platforms Scheduling might work as well.
Virtual Assistant / Admin Jobs
Help businesses or entrepreneurs with tasks like:
Email management
Calendar/scheduling
Data entry
Research
Customer support
Here are some sites to look into:
Start on sites like Belay, Fancy Hands, or Upwork.
Below also are more opportunities to consider depending on your interest and available time to dedicate
Start a YouTube Channel
Topics: gaming, tutorials, crafts, drawing, tech reviews, storytelling, vlogs
Once you reach 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours, you can apply for monetization through ads.
You can also earn through affiliate links, merch, or sponsorships later.
Requires parent’s help to set up and manage the account (COPPA laws apply).
Sell Digital Products or Art
If you’re creative:
Make digital art, printables, or designs to sell on platforms like:
Etsy (with a parent’s account)
Redbubble, TeePublic – Sell your art on t-shirts, mugs, etc.
Gumroad – Sell coloring pages, music, templates
Great for kids who love drawing or designing.
Do Voice Acting
If you have a clear voice and good mic, you can audition for kid voice roles in animations, games, or audiobooks.
Sites like Voices.com (requires parental setup) sometimes look for young voices.
Start a Blog or Website
Write about things you love: books, games, hobbies, or school tips.
Once it gets traffic, you can add ads (with help) or promote products for affiliate earnings.
Platforms: WordPress, Blogger, or Wix (with parent’s help)
Gaming for Money
If you’re into games like Minecraft, Roblox, or Fortnite:
Create game mods or maps
Start a gaming YouTube or Twitch channel (with guidance)
Use Roblox Studio to create games and earn Robux (which can be converted into real money if you're part of their DevEx program at 13+ with ID and parental consent)
Online Surveys & Reviews (Limited)
Most survey sites require you to be 18, but with parental supervision, you can:
Help test kid-friendly apps or games (e.g., Testerup, BetaFamily with guidance)
Kid-paid focus groups: Some companies pay kids to test toys or digital content with parent approval.
Tutoring or Helping Younger Kids
If you’re strong in a subject, offer to help younger students online or create simple explainer videos.
You can even create flashcards or study guides and sell them on sites like StudySoup (some age limits apply).
Sell Handmade Items (with Parents’ Help)
Craft jewelry, keychains, bookmarks, stickers, or origami and sell on:
Etsy
Facebook Marketplace (through an adult)
At school or local events
Safety & Legal Notes
Many online platforms require users to be 13+ or have parental permission.
Always ask for a parent or guardian’s help setting up accounts or handling money (like PayPal or bank transfers).
Avoid jobs that ask for upfront payment or personal info—they're likely scams.
Skill-Building that Pays Off Later
Even if you’re not earning big money now, you can:
Learn coding (with Scratch, Roblox Studio, or HTML/CSS)
Practice video editing (great for YouTube)
Start writing stories or blogs
Design in Canva or Photoshop
These can turn into real freelance work by the time you’re 16 or 18! Build for the future ..super important at this stage
