Is Your Teen An Entrepreneur?

Are you hoping you've got your own Bill Gates in the making in your home? As a parent you can probably tell pretty easily whether or not the entrepreneurial spirit is evident in your child. Some kids make it very obvious that the regular nine-to-five will not be a part of their future. For others, you might need to investigate a bit further to see.

Ask these simple questions about your teen to see if your teen has the entrepreneurial spirit. If your answer is "yes" to one or more, you probably do.

1. Does she ask what she can do to earn more allowance? Is she willing to take on jobs around the house instead of hanging out at the mall with her pals? Does she do her chores and work with vigor and excellence?

2. Did she have the best lemonade stand on the block? Did she go the extra mile to make sure that her stand was profitable and her product and service brought back customers over and over again?

3. Does she value flexibility and independence more than the "sure thing" of an hourly job? Does she make comments about wanting something "more" than just flipping burgers or selling pink t-shirts?

4. Does she work well on her own? In her free time is she thinking of other ways to make money or start a business? When you give her a job or chore around the house does she jump in and do it quickly and efficiently?

5. Is she a self-learner? ? Does she spend time researching and reading for her schoolwork and outside of that? Does she enjoy finding out more about how to use the computer to her advantage?

If, indeed, you do have a young entrepreneur budding in your midst, you might want to start her off now in a business of her own even now, before the college bills start piling up! It will serve her well now and in the future!

How to Sell your Digital Photography at Stock Photo Sites

How to Sell your Digital Photography at Stock Photo Sites

Many of your hobbies can be turned into business ideas that can make you money. As a digital photographer you can sell those beautiful photographs online. Here are some ways to do that.

Digital photography allows you to capture a variety of images in a variety of formats. For instance, remember when you used to visit the carnival or amusement park and they took those old-fashioned pictures of people? The pictures looked faded but that was simply a sepia tone. You can create the same effect on your digital camera when you edit a photo.

Stock photography is one of the best ways to break into the online digital photography market. You can sell your photos to others who need pictures for websites, newsletters, magazines and e-zines and other media. Surf the Web lately? Many of the photos look the same. Your photos can add a new flavor to what is currently being offered. There is never any harm in seeing how your images will be perceived.

First, understand how the stock photography business works. On these sites, customers can purchase pictures or lease them for a certain amount of time. On some sites, photos are free to use when signing an agreement of use and including a link back to the site.

As a photographer, you will make more money if your photos are leased as opposed to being sold. The one time sale may net you some cash but the lease will provide a continuous source of income off of that one photograph. And, many people can pay to lease the photograph at one time. Through the leasing process, your work will be viewed by a large audience.

Start by researching current stock photography sites. Find one that offers the leasing option to customers and also has an easy-to-navigate site. Begin here and test the waters with your work.

Now, all you need to do is produce some quality work. Look at other stock photographs. What do they have in common? Are the pictures clear? Can you make out all of the features of the photo? At the least, your photographs need to be clear with the subjects in the foreground.

Another consideration is the type of digital photos you are trying to sell. More of the same that already exists won't be received well. The stock photography companies are out to make money too. Don't be afraid to try some new ideas for holiday photos or for everyday photos. They will let you know what does and does not sell.

In the meantime, create a website or blog with links to the stock photography sites featuring your work. This will send more people to view your photographs and may lead to other opportunities in the future.

A Fundraiser can create money

A Fundraiser can create money

If you're a teen who loves working with people, fundraising for you could be a way to earn money while helping out a good cause.


Do you enjoy planning events and parties? Fundraising is also a great way to build a full-fledged business, or just earn some extra cash in your spare time.

Fundraising is easy to organize, but many corporations, groups and communities are in need of people who can do the work. These groups do not want to pull someone away from their desk to handle fundraising events. As a teen, you can find many opportunities to help your community and those in need by raising funds for various organizations and non-profit groups.

You might want to involve your friends to have added workers, but often the group you're raising funds for will be able to provide volunteers. You will make more money if you go it alone, but it can be more fun to work as a team.

Be sure to check with your local city offices to see if you need any kind of license before you begin planning an event. If you do, be sure to find out what steps you need to take in order to get the license, and to get your new venture off the ground.

Once you have the business set up, it's time to come up with valid ideas for fundraisers. Sit down and brainstorm with your friends to come up with unique ways you can raise money for your clients.

Some ideas are more obvious than others. A car wash or bake sale comes to mind immediately and they can be great fun, but you might want to try something a little different.

Rock-a-thons are fun and relaxing for the participants. People get sponsors to pay them for every hour, or minute they spend rocking in a rocking chair.

Simply collecting with buckets from passing shoppers (think Salvation Army) is an easy method of fundraising, but it's not as much fun.

Rent-a-kid is another great idea that people like. People give their money to the cause in exchange for housekeeping, yard work, pet walking, running errands, etc.

A dinner is a great fundraising event. After you've decided on the location, plan the menu. Be sure to keep it simple such as spaghetti, chili or even tacos. You don't want an elaborate meal, and you want to be sure you have volunteer workers to help cook, serve, and clean up.

Other ideas include selling items like pizza, wrapping paper, gift cards, etc. Perhaps auctioning off donated items appeals to you. Any number of fundraisers can be utilized if you approach it right.

You'll also need to find a location for your event, whatever it may be. If you go with a car wash, maybe a local gas station or community center will provide a corner of their parking lot for your event. If you plan on a dinner, try a community center. Try to get the space and the supplies donated to your cause so you will net more money for your clients.

Set your price based on supplies, workers, and your time. Allow enough money for you to make a profit while at the same time providing the funds expected to the organization. After all, that's what the organization, your client, expects of their fundraising effort!

Once you've decided on the fundraiser you'll use, you have the cause planned, get busy spreading the word all over town. Call local TV and radio stations, ask businesses to post flyers in their windows, and get the organization's members to help promote, as well. Even ask the local paper if they'd run an ad for your worth cause for free.

Blanket your town with flyers on local bulletin boards. Don't forget to mention it at school and any other part time job you may have. Word of mouth is often the best way to advertise.

On the day of your fund raising event make sure you arrive early. Get everything set up and have everyone's assignment in place before guests and buyers start to arrive. Be sure someone is near the entrance to greet people and make everyone feel welcome.

After your fundraiser is complete, make sure your donations, minus your fee goes straight to the appropriate place as soon as possible. As you develop your clientele and build your reputation as a dependable worker, you will have more business than you ever imagined possible... this can truly become a great money-maker for you and for your community!
