Please help im 15 & need some ideas

[GJR7]

Hi everyone

I'm 15 years old and looking to go into business when im older. Obviously at 15 my options are limited to recieving money. I currently have a paper round and run a reasonably successful ebay account.

I need your help however. Im looking for suggestions on other ways you could make money at my age and here stories of how some of you may have done it when you were my age?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Independant door to door sales. You will learn to be your own boss, develop a strong work ethic, learn to sell yourself and a service, get your name out and start networking with people.

I would recommend doing painting the address's of houses on the curb for people. Simply buy GOOD reflective spray paint and number stencils and go door to door and let them know what your doing. You can charge between 5-15 dollars depending on the person and how much they like you. This may be a scary thought for you to randomly do to doors and try and sell a service but nothing worth your time is ever easy. Good luck, sir.

You could try to start a successful blog about - but it would have to be something your passionate about , and know a lot about.

GJR7,

My daughter is 10 years old and makes her own money with her dog walking business. She has a few regular clients in our area and keeps her own schedule.

Good luck to you!

Pick up 10 more paper rounds and then hire ten 12 year olds and pay them 10% less than what you would get paid for the round. Keep the profit. Rinse and repeat for other areas.

Lol!!! Loveley idea nonrate .

Anything else which would be worthwhile for door-to-door selling? I don't think I've ever seen a house without a number where I live .
It is a nice idea though!

Might try that. Is it legal though as I would be employing people and would have to do health and safety checks and stuff . Good idea though. Keep em cumin!
