Website Design Options

By lesa Leave a Comment

2DoWebsWhen you’re creating a website there are a number of decisions to make. In addition to your budget and the creation process, there are features and functions to weight. There are so many fantastic technologies and options that the process can feel overwhelming!

#1 What’s the purpose of your website?

This is perhaps your single most important consideration. When you know your website’s purpose there are some design options that just make sense. For example, if you’re going to be an affiliate marketer and your website’s purpose is strictly to provide information, then you’ll likely want a CMS or a theme-based website. Know your site’s purpose first! Then you can weight your options.

On the other hand, if you’re building an e-commerce site you will want a shopping cart solution and a product catalog full of product photos and descriptions. [Read more...]

Should Homeschooling Teens Start an Online Business?

More and more homeschooling parents are finding that it can be expensive having a college student.  We have taught our teens to be independent thinkers and should encourage them to find creative ways to help cover the expenses.

One great alternative that beats flipping burgers is to start an online business.  They have the advantage.  Today’s teens have grown up in a technology world.  They spend so much of their time online, why not turn that time into money that will help pay for their college? [Read more...]

When teens decide that they want to have their very own business there are many things that need to be discussed. Parents or adult guardians need to be fully involved in this entire process from the origin of the idea to the time it is put into action. This is the way to keep things in order and not let them get out of hand in any fashion.

Depending on what sort of business venture that is being entered into, there may be a need for adult permission to even have this business. That is a huge reason to have an adult involved in your business, if you are a teenager. The support and encouragement can provide a heavy boost in letting you know that you have someone believing in you and your efforts. [Read more...]

A question that many parents have every year is just what should they do with their kids during the summer? Granted, this is the time of year when most people plan and make vacation trips but you can’t be vacationing ALL summer. Eventually you are going to have to return home and that’s when the dilemma begins.

If you start researching well before summer arrives, you may be able to find just the right summer camp for your teen to attend. These are available in many different time frames as well as different lengths of time. There are many that run from one to two weeks and others that are a month or two. It really just depends on what you and your teen prefer as well as what your budget is. [Read more...]

Membership Pre-Launch

By lesa Leave a Comment

I really wanted to launch my membership site with the learning center and the forum on the first of this month.  But things did not go according to my plan.  I have the forum ready.  It still needs a few modifications, but it is fully functioning.  The resource center is not ready yet.  If you are interested in getting started right way, here is a coupon for 50% off.

Coupon Code: D814AD5B79

I will have the forum complete  by the end of this week and the learning center will be built as we go.  It will have resources added over the next few weeks, but it will be a constantly growing resource for our families and teens.

You can sign up for the resource here: Join Teen Biz Talk

Push Mower

With the advent of spring and warmer weather, if you are a teenager who enjoys getting outside and creating beautiful things from nature and the earth, this is the perfect time to begin a landscaping business. This is as simple as beginning a lawn care service. Grass grows fast this time of year and people are too busy to get out and mow the lawn. That’s where you come in.

Print up some flyers and a business cards right from your home computer. Leave them around town in places such as the post office, grocery store, and garden supply store. Have your lawnmower and other lawn tools in perfect repair so when the calls start coming in, you’ll be ready to go. It also is helpful to personally visit some homes that have a yard in need of beautifying. [Read more...]

The Art of Money Management

Money Bag in Blue

Learning to manage money is a skill that everyone should have, from teenagers to adults. However, this is one of the more important things that teenagers need to grasp quite early when they are trying to start, and run, their own businesses.  Poor money management has sunk many a promising ship, and it’s something that you definitely don’t want to happen to you.

Before deciding to jump in head first with a business idea, look at all the costs involved. The start up costs should be weighed carefully against the amount of money that’s available to you initially. Never try to live above your means, especially in the beginning. If you commit to a business that requires more money to start than you have access to, you’re finished before you ever begin. This is your first lesson in acquiring money management skills.

Something that is important to learn for teen entrepreneurs is the way to organize and conduct day to day business tasks. This is a vital skill that needs to be mastered prior to the beginning of a business of any type. The good news is that teens all over the world are finding ways to do just that while also providing needed items to other teens in poverty stricken areas of the world.

There are many ideas for ways to do this. One such idea thought up by teens was to fill backpacks with an assortment of school supplies and send them to teens all over who have no way to afford their own supplies. This is totally non profit and is done through donations and volunteers. [Read more...]
