    15 years old and want to start a small business

    Hello! I'm kyle.. I'm new to Young entrepreneur and joined to get your guys help!
    I'm 15 and have some knowledge in business, I have taken business as a GCSE subject and have also run some small businesses.

    First off, I am a decent website designer I have designed websites such as mr-host.com and spent some years designing for money, I ran a website design business with my friend but it turned out too much, since I'm at school I didn't have much time to do so. I have also tried the web hosting industry but it didn't plan out too well as it's a competitive market.

    I would like to setup a small business which I could manage while I'm still at school (In last year of school) I want something that I can maintain easily without needing much investment, something that I'm passionate about and something that can help me with future business in the future.

    I enjoy lot's of things, I spend a lot of time on the internet out with friends and gaming.

    If anyone could help me and talk to me who is experainced and could give me some helpful i'd be pleased, via MSN if possible.

    Thanks, Kyle.

    How about building a site of your own? Might not be a quick route to money, but it's cheap to start.

    Pick what your product or service will be. Choose something that interests you, something you can be enthusiastic about. When you are interested in it, your customers will be interested in it. Try to find a niche in the market - an unexplored aspect of your chosen area of business. Try to somehow set your product(s) apart from the competition by offering something rival businesses don't. A good example of this is a dyson vacuum cleaner - the patented cyclone suction system is still after 20 or 30 years the best way to vacuum your carpet and people are willing to pay the extra money to get the best performance.
