I'm a 14 year old boy who is really good with technology. Any suggestions on how I can make some money?

Well, most 14 year old boys make money by cutting lawns in the summer or shoveling snow in the winter, delivering papers, helping with yardwork, or something like that. However, if you would also like to add some technology work to that, you might put up posters advertizing yourself as "grandson for hire" - which you will offer to do assorted chores, yardwork, lifting and moving things, and also things like setting up email, helping learn how to operate a smartphone, setting up a new TV and connecting to satellite or cable, and that sort of thing, if those are things that you can do.
People always talk about getting a "grandson" to do those sorts of things for them, and a nephew of mine invented the business name of "Hire a Son" and he and his friend are doing odd jobs and repair work and painting as summer jobs to raise money for college.
Most young people are good with technology. But what older people need is what you have too. You can do labor. You say you have no skills in that area. Simple. Ask your elderly neighbor what he/she needs done. Then ask if he/she will provide guidance for said job. If so, negotiate a price that you both feel is fair.
Hey! Try making a blog and show advertisements those companies could pay you big time bucks! Or you could try something simple like dog sitting my neighbors paid my sister and I 20 dollars just to let their dogs into their pen. Try it.
