My 9 yo son helps out family members who gladly pay him for his services.
He pooper scoops, Grandma's yard, comes to help out when she needs to do
some planting, organizing of stuff (she has lots of stuff) and has washed
her small car.
He goes to my parents house to mow the lawn with the riding lawnmower, help
collect firewood, and any other misc. job he can come up with.
The Grandparents pay generously which is a great inscentive. They are all
very capable of doing their own work, but thoroughly enjoy his company while
he is there, and like to help him understand money, which he does anyway.
You might even search your neighborhood or town, for someone that needs yard
work done. Maybe a veterinarian who would pay someone to walk the dogs,
or???

serious deep cleaning work for you for which you'd be willing to fork over a
few dollars? Selling berries he picked in the wild, if you're lucky enough
to have a place around? Holding a garage sale with some friends and all the
old stuff you can assemble? Teaching younger children how to play chess or
do gymnastics or whatever? Dragging all your/his old, unwanted books down
to the used book store? Do you have a pop bottle refund...he could collect
abandonded bottles. Not much gets you rich at 10, but it would be some $$
at least.

OH YES!! A mother's helper kind of thing, where he plays with boys who don't
have brothers, just kinda being there and doing cool things with kids while
their mom is home but doing something else.
We had a neighbor who did that for me and my kids when Holly was born and a
couple of years after. She was 12-14, and I'd give her $3 if I was home and
$5 an hour if I wasn't (when they were older, or if she would stay with Kirby
and Marty while I took Holly with me). And her mom was three houses up the
street, so if she needed help it was near.

gets into it a little bit more seriously than a kid would,
though. <g> (He's the one I was forced to put back into school after a
year and a half of unschooling. Major disaster on his self-esteem.)
