Using That Money Maker

Over the years I've had multiple schemes that I've gone through to make money. Most of these I started carrying out in 7th grade but I was always looking for a cheap and simple way to make money. Let's see in 7th grade I started selling propels at 100% markup. I also sold gummy worms for 33% markup. Surprisingly the gummy worms made more money, with me getting about 8 or 9 bucks a week. Last year I sold soda. I didn't even use the legit cans of soda but the cans of store brand. 1$ a can. ONE BUCK. I made about an extra 5-10 bucks a week cause of that. Now my grand scheme for before and while I have a job is to sell candy. I was doing it for FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America) and because we had to sell it all by a certain time I went to my old school to sell. I sold 8 out of 30 pieces for a buck a piece. My other friend sold 18 pieces cause he had chocolate and most of the kids left. Now we're just going to buy the packs for 10 bucks each and sell every Tuesday or Monday saying it's for FBLA when we finish our boxes. And I know it will work. I mean kids just pull those boxes out at lunch and sell most of it. It's not that hard or complicated. Then there's teachers that will let you pull out the candy and sell it also. That works really easily. I've seen people finish off boxes in one class so it's not that complicated. And I could use the money. My only other way would be to offer services in doing homework for people, something that would be easy for me to manage, or giving out loans. Now I don't have 50s just laying around that I could lend out, much less people that would want to borrow it, but I could make some serious cash from doing people's homework if I wanted. Then there's always me getting a job. I've decided I'm going to apply to Best Buy when I turn 15. My brother said in person, so I'm going to do that. And for me to get a job will equal a steady source of income that will help me a lot for when I turn 16 and get my friend's minibike.
