Hi I'm Mike. A bit about myself:

Im 15 currently living in Manchester, UK. Ive been trying to make money from an early age, with ventures ranging from (don't laugh) selling sweets in school, and buying and selling currency from online games. The latter had potential I think (although not massive profits), making me just short of $3000 in the first 2 weeks, before i was informed of a 3rd party law. I am currently struggling to find a niche in, well, any market. My main reasons for being here are basically (or hopefully) to learn a few things from people that have been there and done it, and with a bit of luck to start a few sparks flying with ideas for future ventures. As you can imagine, at 15 my pockets aren't too deep, and I am searching for possible oppurtunities that encompass this. It would be great to speak to other young people, to see how they have managed in the buissiness world.

You sound so much like myself at your age. I was cutting lawns and cleaning pools. I also sold candy, and then juice boxes at school. Trust me if you tried the candy, sell some capri sun packs they go like wildfire!! or even better buy some generic soda and sell them at the cafeteria...beware though schols frown on entrepreneurship....often brings criminals into the mix. (bully thieves)

lol (sorry for the contraction not sure what views on them in these forums at at the moment) thanks for the heads up. I'm leaving school soon though, so i have to search my head and come up with a decent buissiness idea/plan

EDIT: Mpyre i notice you run web design site, could i possibly speak to you about that? Im sure you dont want any more competition but it would be great to speak to someone whose set up in that area (Im interested in design and coding so that would be a great summer "project"). Anyway my email is contactmikeslevin@hotmail.com, if you could spare a few minutes (or emails) then just send me an email please .
