What are some teen business ideas? How can I get one started?
I'm 14 and want to start a business. I am open to any ideas anyone might have. Some things I'm interested in is scrapbooking, pets, yard work, newsletters, and graphic design (business cards, invitations, etc.).

- Work from home on your computer - write articles, sell on eBay, make a website, take surveys. In some cases, you may have to set up an account in your parents or guardians name, and ask them to pay you, after they get the money for your work.

- I have to agree with what the last person said. Use your interests to start a business. Yard work and dog walking have been jobs that have been advised as good businesses to start because there is always a need for it. Take your graphic designs skills (and in a way become your first customer) and design flyers and business cards for your own business. Although a lot of people don't take stock in putting flyers on parked cars I know for a fact that it works! I once helped someone who had an upholstery business and he had made a hand drawn flyer and we put them on parked cars and he actually got business from it.
