Picking up Dog Dung

Projected Profit: $300-$600 a month

This idea is for a kid looking to make extra money doing a job around the neighborhood. Be sure to ask your parents permission before you use this idea.

If picking up dog dung is gross to you, then it's probably gross to a lot of other people too. Since people don't like to do it themselves, you can do it for them! There's a lot of money to be made doing this.

You can go to the store and buy a Poop Scooper, so you don't have to pick them all up by hand. It doesn't take long to go around someone's yard. You would go door to door, and ask your neighbors if you can pick up there dog dung for a small fee each week.

If you were to get 15 customers and charge them $5-$10 a week, you would be getting an extra $300-$600 a month. That's just for picking up dung! Make sure you wear protective gloves though.
