Young entrepreneur at her stall
Young age is the best age to start your first brush with business. There are many small business ideas for students. I have listed some of them below.
Many students use summer vacations, regular holidays, or weekends to earn extra money. But it makes sense to think long term and start thinking about starting a business.
When you are just starting up – think about learning more than earning.
The experience you gain while you are young has more value than money you make.
You need not to be perfect when you start.
Start with assisting others who have been there and done that. It will make you learn practical side of running a business – really fast. You can also take help from a coach.
If you want to become good at managing projects – try becoming a virtual assistant. To gain expertise in online marketing – assist experienced – online marketing experts.
Aim for – personal growth + money + relationship. At least 2 of these, in whatever you start.
Understand that you do not need a lot of money to start a business.
