Ways to make money at 13? -

Hi I m 13 and trying to save up for a MacBook for about ��750. I have a paper round that pays ��7 a weekend and I have access and quite a bit of experience of selling on eBay. By he way I live in the UK. I was wondering of there was something I could easily make to sellon eBay. I have a bit of experience in carpentry and art. Thanks in advance.

Personally I can t see why a 13 year old would need money.However, you can do for neighbors all of the same things you do for your family.Baby sitClean up after the dogWalk the dograke the yardput up season decorationsput away seasonal decorationsaddress envelopes for Christmas cardsBasically, you can be paid outside your family for some of the skills you have. Your best bet is to do things that most adults simply do not have time for.

Well, my suggestion is not related to making anything to sell on eBay.One of my friends bought a wholesale brownie mix and he pretty much made brownies every day, cut them into pieces, brought them to school and made an insane profit on them. He did this every day, and he got a good amount of money. So, if you go to school, you should look into baking brownies and selling them. I assume school in UK is the same as here in America.

Keeping an eye on charity shops/ jumble sales/ boot sales will give you stock to sell on ebay. Look on ebay to see what craft items are selling and what they are selling for, it may not be worthwhile putting in the effort. One word of caution - check out tax implications.Good luck in your efforts, hope you succeed.

When i was thirteen mate, we walked the neighbours dogs, cleaned windows and cars ets. anything for a couple of quid but times are a changing i guess. If your good at carpentery charge small fee to family and friends for easing up tight doors (that swell in winter months) fitting skirting etc. or painting / decorating just ask people what they need doing and decide if you are skilled enough. Good luck

Hi, i really want to start my own business but havent got a clue where to start ! help !!!!? -

i ve been thinking about things like a nail salon with tanning or possibly a small food outlet but i dont no the first thing about tax returns , books, setting up where to even get started.

The first things to think about are what you can do that there s a market for and how you reach that market. If you don t have customers you won t have a business.If you re in the UK, contact your local Business Link and go on one of their free starting in business seminars. They go through all the things you need to think about whatever business you decide on. They re also very good on food businesses, if that s what you choose, guiding you through all the food hygiene and other regulations that you need to comply with.Good luck!

have a look at the area that you would like to set up in and be realistic, dont try and start a business three hours away from where you live. the first thing you need to look at is the demand and supply of your chosen area. get your local yellow pages and have a look at how many established business are in the area. look at how much cash you have. for any start up cash is everything. remember that you may have to finance the costs of your business for a year or two until a solid client base is established. i would say that a food outlet is the better option if you can find an opening in the market. the nail salon is usually set within a hairdressers and the tanning salon is an outside bet from my opinioni know you can lend money from family or the banks but to enter the market at a good level you could really do with plenty of your own cash.

Once you have a definite idea about what you actually want to do, go and find yourself an Accountant. They ll tell you everything you need to know. You keep very basic books - the Accountant does the tax return etc. It costs money but he will save you many times more than he charges you.

To add to Sridhar s: The DGFT s offices have mandated quarterly filing ofaccounts,that unnecessarily adds to you your work burden and the goons can demand hefty bribe s that will such dry your meager profits. One approach is to get started on a commodity for which you are able to secure an Order and carefully do the pricing and go through the trade and payment processes document them and then go about creating a website to enable quick interface of your Clients at least with yourself.

All the best. You will need lots of patience for the vicious circle to get completed. Choose the line you are familiar with to start and then you can expand. There are lots of paper works involved besides running around marketing and banking and customs

What do you think makes someone successful in starting their own business? -

Is it their ideas?Or is it actually acting on those ideas and actually making it work?I m 17 and I always have ideas of businesses that I know could work and I can spot niches in certain markets. But I never act them out, or actually try and start up the business. Is this because of age, experience or will I just be like this my whole life?

ADVERTISE ADVERTISE ADVERTISE that s the secret to success,i was a partner in a small business,which only lasted 2 years because my partner who had the money didn t want to spend it on Advertising. Because when ever i put a add in about our business we got customers and when there was no add we got nothing.

Just do it. You re over thinking it. I started my own web design business when I was 15 and I now own 3 different small businesses and they re all growing. Go for it! Get support from family for capital to start it all, and just go for it.
