Owning a business is hard work, and the pandemic hasn\u2019t made entrepreneurship any easier. But according to a recent survey conducted by both the Brian Hamilton Foundation and Junior Achievement, about 66 percent of teens are still open to starting a business at some point in the future.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a teen who\u2019s ready to follow in the footsteps of other\u00a0<\/span>young entrepreneurs<\/span><\/a>\u00a0like Cory Nieves, Kenan Pala, and Langston Whitlock, this article from\u00a0<\/span>Quiz<\/span>plus<\/span><\/a>\u00a0will introduce you to the different tools and resources available to aspiring business owners. Read on to learn how to put your entrepreneurial dreams into actions<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Come Up With the Right Business Idea<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

Understandably, about 30 percent of these survey respondents reported having concerns about the risks of starting a business. CEO Charlie Bradley, however, says this is precisely why teens should start businesses while they\u2019re young. As Bradley\u00a0<\/span>pointed out<\/span><\/a>, \u201cthere is almost no downside to failure when you\u2019re young\u201d.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to your teenage years being the easiest time to recover from failure, there are so many other advantages of starting a business during adolescence. To name a few <\/span>other benefits<\/span><\/a>, entrepreneurship teaches teens leadership, time management, and communication skills; encourages them to earn their own money and take control of their finances; and allows them to express themselves creatively \u2014 especially if they take the time to choose the right business idea.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u200bAs you think about starting a business as a teen, focus on your strengths, interests, and lifestyle. What do you have the time, skills, and ability to work on outside of school hours and your other extracurricular activities? As a few ideas, you could start your own podcast or YouTube channel, sell handmade goods online, or walk dogs in your neighborhood.<\/span><\/p>\n

Keep Learning After School<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

Once you\u2019ve selected a business idea, you\u2019ll want to become an expert in that field. Doing so will help you to overcome the fear of starting a new business and gain the confidence you need to put your entrepreneurial plans into action.<\/span><\/p>\n

Quizplus makes this possible, thanks to our online quizzes, study sets, and flashcards. At <\/span>quizplus.com<\/span><\/a>, you can learn all about topics such as <\/span>business<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>nutrition<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>mathematics<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>information technology<\/span><\/a>, and more. You can even use our study sets to prepare for any professional certifications you may need to launch your new business. <\/span><\/p>\n

Launch Your Business<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

After becoming an expert in your field, you\u2019ll need to start planning your business. Head online to research your competitors, write your business plan, and compare your funding options if startup capital will be needed to get your business off the ground. Be sure to consider your business structure (such as a limited liability company, sole proprietorship, or corporation), the products and services you\u2019ll offer, and whether any licenses or permits will be needed in order to operate your business.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve completed these steps, you can <\/span>start a new company here<\/span><\/a> for as little as $49 (in addition to any state-specific registration fees you may be required to pay). Registering a business online is a simple option for teens and other aspiring entrepreneurs, as business formation services offer advice and guidance on choosing a legal entity, business name, and registered agent \u2014 and meeting the legal requirements for starting a business in your state.<\/span><\/p>\n

Market Your Business on a Budget<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

Now that you\u2019ve planned and registered your business, it\u2019s time to market it to your target audience. Kristen McCormick of WordStream shares 27<\/span> budget-friendly marketing ideas<\/span><\/a> for you to consider, but only after you\u2019ve developed your brand identity. Building a brand means <\/span>designing a logo<\/span><\/a>, creating a website for your business, and choosing your brand color palette.<\/span><\/p>\n

Marketing can be expensive, but it doesn\u2019t have to be when you\u2019re just starting out. Using <\/span>a free logo maker<\/span><\/a> like this one, for example, you can easily create an appealing logo that stands out from the competition and reaches your target audience. It\u2019s as simple as choosing from an assortment of templates, modifying the fonts and colors, and adding your own text and\/or images.<\/span><\/p>\n

Other online tools make it easy to <\/span>create a business website<\/span><\/a>, including those such as Wix and Weebly. Lots of online tools are available to use at no cost to you, so be sure to explore these affordable DIY options before hiring a pro.<\/span><\/p>\n

Plus, if you\u2019re ready to connect with your audience directly, you can use an <\/span>email marketing software like Emailchef<\/span><\/a> to build your mailing list, send professional newsletters, and even set up <\/span>simple email automations<\/span><\/a> with ready-to-use templates. This user-friendly newsletter tool is budget-friendly and helps new entrepreneurs stay in touch with their audience, making it one of the smartest ways to grow your business online.<\/span><\/p>\n

Teen Today, Business Owner Tomorrow<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

Thanks to business formation services, free marketing and design tools, and the plethora of other online resources available to aspiring entrepreneurs, it\u2019s easy to start a business whether you\u2019re 15, 30, or 55. There\u2019s always the possibility of failure in business, but your teen years are the perfect time to experiment with entrepreneurship and determine whether a career in business ownership is right for you!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
