Youngster starting own business?

Question

I'm interested in starting my own business. Nothing major, but I'm in need to make some money. Now I'd like some ideas on what I could possibly get started. I'm only a teenager, so once again nothing too big. I need to start out small.

So what I'd like are some ideas of what I could start such as: pet-sitting, lawn mowing, etc.

Ideas??

Answer 1

Ebay!

You certainly cannot miss that!

I have just found out this guy made over $1500+ in just 1 PURE day in his Paypal account from Ebay in 22 June 2008 which wowed me!

You can check out this guy's amazing Paypal proof account here (which I am sure you have seen or heard of provided you have used Ebay before):

(Paypal screenshot - $1500+ in 1 day as of 22 June 2008)

It's pretty inspiring about how he has been sucessful getting the Ebay wholesaler sources considering it's only less than 20 transaction and the website stated on the screenshot which is the success method as far as it is concerned.

It definately motivates me and inspires me and I am going for my goal like the guy does!

Hope that helps answering your question.

Cheers

Answer 2

I am also young and I am starting a website based on video games. There is no money involved but maybe if it becomes successful adspaces may be added to produce an income.

I am also recruiting!

Get to your local library for books like "Fast Cash for Kids" by Bonnie & Noel Drew. There are many titles that your Librarian can point you towards that will not only tell you what you can do but how you can start. You'll find more success by starting a legal business solving a need that people have than worrying about how much money you'll earn. Do what you love and the money will follow.

you can start curb painting business.. ask your neighbors or others nearby with faded numbers on their curb if they would like their address painted. be reasonable with the price and you should have a high demand. All you'll need is a stencil and paint.
