Hey!

The best way to expand and make lots of money while you're at it, is to do something you love. What are your passions (outside of business)? Find a way to make money off of them!

If you need some more help, please feel free to PM me!

Best wishes!

Maybe you could start with not mentioning your age everywhere?

I'm just kidding.

I see you got some things started already.
Just expand those websites by attracting more visitors and improving your website.

Ask people who visit your website what they think of it.
What's their first impression and what could be changed?

mmmm i would look around you. Find a nice little gap or number...

If your a teen, rather than target the big boys why not use your sales skills to roll kids your own age, gotta be easier than taking money of adults. When i was your age i sold, clothes, tobacco, and drugs to my fellow classmates... Not saying sell drugs mind....

Why do you want big money? What would you do with it?

I would say squeeze as much out of what you have going on now. Optimize your current operations. That will give you some valuable experience. Once you've done that, you may have found a problem that you can make money addressing for others. If that is already taken care of, you probably either need a new idea to pursue or you could find a partner that can further stretch what you've currently got and help you think of a new idea. Just keep your money working in the mean time (high yield savings or a CD). Don't go taking unnecessary risks if you aren't sure what to do.

You already have the experience to do more. You just have to open your horizons. Do something you are good at.

You could do lots of things. Make your own info products, start a blog/website dedicated to your knowledge, start affiliate marketing, the possiblilities are endless.

Owning a website is the best way to make money. Ebay is a thing of the past.

I think for someone in his position he's smart enough to handle his own information. I mean, 15 years old isn't that young.

If you can do web designing then you can work as a freelancer

Google consumer trends, the first hits are the best, you can wander around their site and see what will be big. They tend to be very accurate in their predictions. Trendwatching.com is the site that I am talking about. I think that if you see what will become big or bigger then you can maybe begin to think along those lines. Hopefully then you will find a good idea from this. Let me know if you do!

Edit: The 2009 trend report costs around $800 dollars, so try looking at last years or even 2007 and 2006, they are still relevant

Ben,
You are on the right track but further devoloping your current sites would be a way to go. Keep asking your self how can I do this better & who can use my services. Also continue to reach out to new promotional avenues. Sometimes its better to focus on a few things and do them exceptionally well than to be a jack of all trades. Be careful of spreading yourself to thin.
