Even if you are still in high school, summer holidays and weekends are a great time to spend making some extra money. There are many ways for a teen to start a profitable business without a major investment and without taking the focus off education and other aspects of everyday life. Here are some business ideas for the entrepreneur teenager:

Low cost businesses that require very little startup capital. Fortunately, many service-based businesses or Internet ventures require little investment. For example, a lawn care business could be started using a parent's existing tools, while an Internet business could be started up for less than $50, after adding up line items like the $10 domain registration fee and the $5 monthly hosting charge.

Businesses that leverage teens' strengths. There are many businesses that teens are more suited to pursue than *****s. For example, today's teens have grown up with computers, tech gadgets, and the Internet. This is valuable knowledge that can be used to create innovative products and services. Teens are also skilled at creating products and services that target other young people, since they have unique insight into the evolving opportunities and needs in that space.

An ability to compete on price. Teens are at a unique point in their lives when, since they live at home with their parents, they have very little costs to account for. This allows them to charge very low prices and still make enough money to take home some profit.

Mariotti stresses that young entrepreneurs should take the time to do their research -- thinking, reading, and writing a business plan before taking the leap in starting a business. As far as some specific business ideas that might appeal to young entrepreneurs, consider the following:

Web development or creating websites for local businesses. The great thing about Web development skills, unlike medical or legal skills, is that anyone can learn them from reading a book, as opposed to paying for an expensive college education.

Forget the clichés: Turns out a sizable number of young people would rather start their own business than simply lounge around watching TV and or check status updates on Facebook. Four in 10 people between the ages of 8 and 21 dream of starting their own businesses one day, according to a survey conducted by Harris Interactive on behalf of the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation

I think teen age is the golden period in which if you have managed to set a business. you will make it rise to sky limits in your life. This can be achieved even before thirties.But you need only hard work and trust only on yourself and nobody else even your siblings.

Re: Top Business Ideas for Teens

If done correctly everybody experiences some sensation of biting a real lemon -- saliva in the back of the throat, pulling a funny face etc. Why, the lemon was never there. Your Brain is a magnificent creation, unfortunately we were given limited instructions on how to use it, and therefore we usually live our lives on what has happened rather than what could happen. If your brain can taste a non-existent lemon you can develop attitude, the following gives you a little tasterThis story follows two days in the life of Brian, in this case a salesman, the reality is he could be a manager, C.E.O. or administrator just like you and me. Before the story can be told a brief explanation of Brian's brain may help you empathise .
Eyes: The basic tools of the eye makeup arsenal are eye shadow, eyeliner, and mascara. Eye shadow gives the face more color and draws attention to the eyes. Most women like to find a shade that enhances their eye color. Liner turns up the volume on this effect by defining the eyes even further. Finally, mascara adds texture and volume to eyelashes as a finishing touch.

Re: Top Business Ideas for Teens

some business ideas for teen, hope that it will be help full and you will like it,

1. Fresh produce stand. A fresh produce stand would be a good idea if you have a garden. You could plant all your fruits and vegetables in the spring or summer (depending on what you are planting) and then sell them in the summer and fall.
2. Dog clean-up service. A dog clean-up service is a good business idea if you live in a neighborhood that has a lot of dogs. Dog owners dread picking up the dog p**p, but if you can tolerate it, there is a lot of money to be made.
3. Pet sitting service. A pet sitting service is also a good idea in a neighborhood with a lot of animals. People have pets and are always going on vacation. So they need someone they can trust to take care of their pets. Also, pet kennels are expensive, so people are going to be willing to pay a lot for you to take care of their pets at home.
4. Snow removal service. A snow removal service is a great business idea if you live in a place where it snows a lot. People cannot leave their homes if there is too much snow in their driveways. Thus, they will pay a great deal for you to remove it. You should know that this business works best if you can start working early in the morning.
5. Yard maintenance service. A yard maintenance service is a good business to combine with your lawn mowing business. There is a lot more work to be done in yards other than mowing. You could plant flowers, trim hedges, pull weeds and rake leaves.
6. House cleaning service. A house cleaning service may seem like something you would not enjoy doing, but household chores become a lot easier when you are getting paid to do them. You could specialize in one type of cleaning, (i.e. vacuuming, dusting, laundry, dishes), or you could offer all types of cleaning.
7. Car cleaning service. A car cleaning service is a good idea because people are often busy and do not have time to take care of their cars. With this business, you could offer it on a weekly or monthly basis so you would maintain a steady income.
8. Computer tutor/repair service. A computer-based service is a great idea if you know a lot about computers. There are plenty of people out there who do not know anything about computers, especially now that technology is getting more complicated every day.
9. Catering service. A catering service is a fun idea if you enjoy cooking food and trying new recipes. If you can prove that you know your way around a kitchen, there are plenty of busy people who would love to have you make dinner for them.
10. Painting service. A painting service is usually successful because people dread painting. It is a lot of hard work, but the more difficult the task, the more people will pay you to do it. However, do not offer a painting service without plenty of painting experience.
11. Errand/Delivery service. An errand/delivery service is a good idea especially if you live in a big city where there is public transportation. Although, this service does carry some risks. Particularly if you are a young kid who is traveling around a big city by yourself.
12. Educational tutoring service. An educational tutoring service can be a good business if you have expertise in a specific subject. You could offer a service that tutors kids, teens or even older *****s. Some examples of subjects you could tutor are math, science, a foreign language or a musical instrument.
13. Freelancing service. A freelancing service would be a good business if you are truly gifted in something that people want or need. Such as writing, drawing, photography or other form of art. If you know that you can produce something that people or businesses will buy, then a freelancing service is the way to go. Just make sure your hourly freelance rate is more than $80.
14. General maintenance service. A general maintenance service is a good idea if you are not sure exactly what services people need. Even if you already have a lawn mowing service, you should promote yourself as a general laborer too. This way you will get more potential customers contacting you. If you can mow a lawn, then you can probably move boxes and plant trees.

Re: Top Business Ideas for Teens

Many people believe the chances of startup success for teens are limited but I am writing this to dispute your belief. Teens have a great chance of succeeding as entrepreneurs if they get the right guidance. And most teens that start a small business end up becoming successful entrepreneurs and business owners.
