Teen businesses that grow into adult businesses

by Jenny Spinner

Created on: January 08, 2009

How many teens you know today that becae milliionaires not overnight but after only two or three years of very tough and hard work. Most of them did it thanks to the internet. Most kids have great ideas and they do have the time to make them work. If you take a look at a girl teenager called ashley qualls she did a website full of myspace templates and now she is one of the richest girls thanks to the internet and she makes more than 70K a month just with Google Adsense alone. This girl hired some friends to work with her to expand her business. Most of the times she is designing new templates to make them available for free on her website, and the other times she is in meetings with her lawyer to see how she can expand the business even further. The only problem with the website so far is the time it requires to make new templates and that's why she hired some friends who say "It's so cool to have a friend as a boss!" The other times shw is brainstorming ideas to get new things for the site. You know that a business that is not improving is condemned to fail. Teens nowadays can start making money at any age. They don't even have to give their real name. All they need is a fake name and fake age and then the money is running to their banks, providing they know what they are doing that is. Most of the times a teen starts making money writing content, writing music or making cool home videos. Nothing very serious. Others however start serious businesses such as cars business, gold business, information business, and a lot more. eBay for example is one of the best places to make a ton of gold. Millions of users buy on eBay every day. Just imagine the potential. The greatest disadvantage is the competition you will have to face. But let's be honest, competition is the ONLY thing that makes people improving. If there was no competition between the species today you would still only be some kind of larva swallowing some kind of low life food or doing some other low life form thing. Don't fear competition. Love it. Because it's what will make you improve. Try to play a computer game in the easy mode, and check your results. Then play the very same game, very same level in the Hard mode and check your times and scores. See what I mean? When you play against the best you become the best! Or at least better. Rollcage and Capitalism 2 are two great computer games examples for this theory.
