<p>What are some ideas for a couple of high school students looking to create their own business?</p>
<p>Doesn't need to be huge, but something that two students can run on their own time and have their own schedule. Maybe not so much running errands for other or things of that nature, rather things that we can promote to others? (clothing brand type of business)</p>
<p>Thanks for the help and let me know if you have any questions.</p>
<p>Won’t work.</p>
<p>lol @fln1049’s skepticism; my friends and I have been making 400$ every year since seventh grade; (for only working a few weeks)</p>
<p>illicit drug market is lucrative… also $400 is nothing but child’s allowance</p>
<p>If you guys are as smart as you claim to be (loloolololool guyz I got 2300 SAT can I raise it to 2400??? - EASY 5 ON AP CHEM OOMGM OMG OMG ), then you should be capable of manufacturing meth.</p>
<p>That’s because the process used to manufacture meth isn’t especially challenging once you get the equipment and get into the process.</p>
<p>And getting high scores on the SAT doesn’t necessarily make them “smart.” Paying attention in class, doing homework, studying, and reading a lot comes to mind.</p>
<p>Besides, the OP wants to try something. If he fails at first, let him try again. It’ll be a great life experience anyway. Do you realize how many times most successful business-people fail before they finally make a break? </p>
<p>To HCavigdor: Babysitting, obviously, comes to mind. You could also advertise or create advertisements.
If your tech-savvy, you could create a software development sort of company or just data processing, (though you’d have to be good to be trusted as a teen.)
Invent some ingenious and novel product…new type of swivel chair? Super-sticky glue? Super efficient Binder? Really great lipgloss?
Market and sell that.</p>
<p>Good luck!!</p>
<p>You could buys candy and try to sell them. Like some people at my school secretly sells candy(they don’t really get caught because there are usually people seliing candy (for fund-raiser). but you could do it in your front lawn. Like a lemonade stand.</p>
<p>I’m a sophomore in high school who plans on attending a good business school in a few years. I feel that starting my own business and showing leadership and profitability in the business with really give a nice hook for a good business school. I’ve planned out my own clothing business that I should have set up in the next few months. I’m going to be selling blank t-shirts with my embroidered logo in the upper left hand corner. </p>
<p>Besides that, I’m also considering selling more of an original product. I play lacrosse at school, and a lot of my friends play too. The goals are 6x6, and your shot is supposed to be aimed in a few specific areas on the net that the goalie is usually unable to get to. I would be selling a tarp (of sorts) to cover the goal with specific holes in it to allow the shooter to practice aiming at the top-left corner or bottom-right, or right below the goalie’s legs. </p>
<p>Whatever you decide to do, good luck.</p>
<p>Well first of all, it has to be something legal. Other than that I am open to ideas.</p>
<p>I personally write for a local newspaper and am big into sports. I am good with money and could manage a small business. If possible, something that doesn’t cost much to start up and it doesn’t necessarily need to have a large profit. Not very tech-savvy and am not planning on starting a clothing line. Since I play basketball I could do personal workouts but I am thinking more of a business kind of work. Advertising could be one road I go down but what kind of advertising is even possible for sports related events?</p>
<p>Please let me know, thanks.</p>
<p>I teach probate piano lessons. Definitely not an “official” business but I did have to advertise, field lots of phone calls, etc. to get students. If you have a marketable skill like that you could go off that. If you want to go bigger you could teach workshops to groups of kids or something.</p>
<p>I know a pretty easy thing to do is start a tutoring business. You don’t need many resources and it’s a pretty flexible schedule.</p>
