Business Ideas That Will Bring Out the Entrepreneur in Your Teen
We are living in a time
where self-employment is the hottest trend. Most millennials are turning
towards entrepreneurship and with good reason. Entrepreneurship means early
financial independence as well as development of some key soft skills such as
networking and crisis management. Every entrepreneur is marked by his
self-discipline and dedication. These are great attributes to develop in an
individual. From the economy’s point of view, the increasing interest in
entrepreneurship has meant more business as well as innovation and creativity.
No wonder new-age entrepreneurs start out as early as in their late teens or
early twenties. In fact, engaging in a business is a great way for teens to
stay focused and utilise their time constructively. Here are some great home
business ideas for budding entrepreneurs in their teens:
Local Services: Some traditional
business ides that any teen can start out with, given his little skills and
experience, are providing his services in the community. All he needs to do is
pick a job that matches his talents and interests, and devote a few hours of
his free time to it. Services like yard cleaning, babysitting, dog-walking and
helping with household chores such as cooking and cleaning, require very little
to no professional experience, and is a great way to earn some extra cash.
Crafts and personalised goods: Teens who have the
gift of creativity can use it to run their own business. With the help of sites
like Etsy and Teespring, they can create their crafts, cushion covers tees and
mugs and even sell it on line without the need to create an inventory and
having to carry it all the way to the local market.
Digital Services: Technology-savvy
teens can use their skills constructively to provide digital services to small
companies. Some of these services are graphic designing, web designing and
audio and video editing. This is a win-win for both: startups who usually
operate on low cost prefer to hire young talent as compared to experienced
personnel, and even the teen can get great exposure of working in a
professional environment.
Services through apps: Growing up in a
digital era has made almost every teen qualified to function on the internet.
They can look for services to provide on apps like tutoring, homework and
project help, gaming etc. It is even possible to set up apps and earn money
through them. While most teens are self-taught, there are even colleges that
provide short-term courses in app development.
These are some great
business ideas that teenagers can consider in their free time after school. If
the business takes off, they can even carry it with them to college, thanks to
the internet, and keep the cash and creativity flowing!
