Today even if your kid is in high school, summer holidays and weekends are a great time to spend making some extra money. There are many ways for a teen to start a profitable business without a major investment and without taking the focus off education and other aspects of everyday life.

So what are the business ideas you would suggest to a teen entrepreneur?

Go online

idea posted by Veena Gupta Analyst, Blackstone Group

If you have any computer skills related to web design, put them to good use. You may not be able to compete with the professionals, but that does not mean you cannot offer affordable options to local business who want an online presence. Another great online business idea is to join the eBay revolution. The business model is simple, and once you have found a niche market, you can actually make a good deal of money from your home computer.

Ideas are always in and around you. In order convert the same to a business idea, a little bit of extra effort and help is required. You need to have patience and continue to believe in your idea in spite of initial failures to be success in long run. Business on line is the best platform available to kick start. I support you Veena.

Veena,I am agree to some extent that internet can be a good option for teen entrepreneurship.But there are many other options too for example a teen may earn through providing tution(which will hone his own knowledge),supporting NGOs(which may help them grow socially as well as make them an aware & responsible citizen)....

i do not understand as to why an school kid wants to venture into business. It is the time to enjoy life. Experience and explore some thing different. Today's education system over loads the kids.The school atmosphere is so charged that the kids do not find time to even look at the beautiful world around them.I personally advice the kids to enjoy their holidays, go around see the nature, if you can try teaching a poor child so that we can have a better society.

Add your argument:

ENGAGE AN EXPERIENCED PERSON TO GUIDE

idea posted by s.baalu Consultant, XYZ LTD

Engaging an experienced person part time or full time as consultant will be ideal to get right guidance by sharing his experience.
