Business - I created a business in middle school (revolving around the game Minecraft) which earned almost $50k. I created my own website & forum, marketed my product, invested (I once paid $1,600 to an advertiser and got $4000 back in revenue in return), advertised through different unsaturated mediums, hired and interviewed my own volunteer staff, and handled public relations.
My other business is now being commissioned by my school clubs for fundraisers. It has earned $800-900 since january 2016. The important thing about this business is that it’s more realistic in the world today. The company has insurance, an attorney, and FDA approved products. We also have a SSLsecured website designed by me. We have been approved to sell on amazon now, so I think our revenue will expand much more.
My third business went to JA Nationals this year and won the EY Social Innovation award. We design websites and apps and one of our apps won the congressonal award. We have a team of 20 members and I personally probably designed 10 websites. REV: $4500
