How do I start my career with balloon animals?

Hi. I have been twisting simple balloon animals for some time now, and am getting better and doing more complex balloon twisting. How can I start making money off this? I've seen people at stores and restaurants doing balloon animals, but how do I sign myself up for that kind of thing? Any help? Oh, and I'm only 13/ And I don't expect this to earn tons of money. Just for a Summer job to earn a little bit of cash, until I can get a real job.

1. Post an ad on Craigslist with what all you can do and maybe a couple sample pictures. Should help you get some paying work started.
2. Put flyers up for parties. But in general you are screwed because the job wont get you anywhere.
3. Hook up with a party rental company and ask them if you can leave flyer's on their counter. Or even the places that rent the jumpy houses, or skating rinks, or pizza parlors.
4. Set up a booth at carnivals and the circus. Advertise in the paper that you can entertain young children at birthday parties, bar mitzva's, weddings, funerals, etc. Take the training courses offered by Qualatex (then you get a discount when ordering supplies). Put an ad incraigslist detailing your skills and include images of your best work.
