Hi,
Welcome to all my new subscribers!  I'm so happy to have you join us.
I would love to hear from you and learn more about you.  How long have you homeschooled?  How many kids do you have?  Anything you want to share is welcome.  Send me an email at homebusiness@frontiernet.net and introduce yourself.

 

Your Teens Can Learn SO Much from Having a Home Based Business


Talk about practical experience!  It doesn't get much more practical than running your own business.  Think about some of the ways your teen can benefit from having their own business:

  • Bookkeeping - they will need to keep track of their expenses and profits/losses.  It will also teach them the value of money.

  • Writing - there is opportunity to do a lot of writing.  You can tailor it to your teen's needs and the business they choose.  If they have a website, they can write content for it or for a blog.  They can start a newsletter and let others know what's going on with their business.  They can write articles as a free way to market their business.

  • Marketing - they will quickly learn which marketing methods work and which are not profitable.  It will give them first hand experience with marketing.

  • Communication - if they have customers, they will need to communicate with them, whether it is by email, phone or in person.

Add these to the confidence boost it will give them and you can't beat it. 

Try to find a business that your teen can center around one of their interests and they will be much more inclined to stick with it.

Before launching into any business, make sure you (or your teen - another way to learn - research!) do some market research.  You can read more about this at http://www.christianhomebusinessconnection.com/market-research.html

Let me know if I can help.
