Answers:
i had been 13 and greedy. so i know how to get money.
first, whenever your parents ask you to buy things, you buy them and keep the change :P~~
or, you can wash your neighbors' cars.. this is the one thing most people really hate to do.. it's actually really simple..you can wash the cars like you wash a dirty plate, and earn money..
or, the best is, sell things at eBay.. i had a stupid stamp album which was actually worth 20 bucks but i sold them on eBay for 200 bucks. someone actually bought it and told me he had never been happier. some things you don't like might be a jewel to others but don't cheat. don't sell broken things or useless ones.
or, you can enter contests like those in the magazines. i'd won a bicycle once in a crossword puzzle. heh~
if you have talent, u can enter talent shows. a kid who sings cutely can win anytime altough he might not sing that well.
or, you can steal. this is the only easy way to earn money in a flash.

Start babysitting. It is a fast way to earn money. It isn't always easy but you will make money.
take care of ppl's pets and plants while they're on vacation. i know someone already said this but baysitting is really good 2, u make a lot of money and its fun. get some books out of the library on pets, plant, toddlers, and babies.
If it is okay with you parents b/c they would have to set up the account and all, and if you have some clothes that you do not wear anymore why not sell them on e-bay! I made at least $500 selling all the clothing that was just sitting in my closet! Clothing brands such as abercrombie, hollister sell really well.
im 13 too, so heres what i have:
1) If you like baseball, you can umpire for the city little league. heck.i don't even like baseball and im doing it! You get paid 5.50 a game and you do about 2-3 games a week.
2) babysit. It really works!! do a good job, and the people will want you to come back.
3) Lemonade Stand. HA! I still do that with my 14 year old neighbor. Last year, we made 45.00!
4) Have a garage sale. Sell anything you haven't used in the past 3 months. This made me about 70.00 one time.
5) If you have a younger sister, or older sister and you know how to do a hairstyle they dont.then you can do it for them. NO, not for free, you charge them. My neighbor does that to her sisters, and she gets like 5 dollars each time.
6) while your neighbors are gone, ask to water their flowers, mow their lawn, get their mail, and take out the garbage. This will make it appear they are home. I did this for two neighbors and got 50.00 and 20.00!
These are just a few. You have to be creative! Good luck getting your i-pod!

you can go online for more ideas.maybe do a google search.
get straight A's from school..you'll get scholarship and rewarded with crap load of stuff like laptop, money, and gift cards - that's what i had from my high school before.
oh and another way for me to make money when i was 13 is i tutor my neighbor's little brats in math and reading..i got paid like $5 a week from each kid's parents..so i was pretty loaded at my age that time. lol
create your own learn-a-thon (or anything else a-thon) and go around the neighborhood getting people/businesses to sponsor you for whatever you do.
tell people you are committed to your goal, and wanted to include in your success.
