One thing I must say, your kids must choose something that they are passionate about to turn it into a product or a service. Why? because if they do not passionate about what they are selling they would not give up easily. They will just keep going and keep believing.

Sell online platforms to use

Let me show you something easy to create. We wear T-shirts. You can sell T-shirts online. They are many online platforms out there you can use such as Amazon, eBay, Shopify, and many other T-shirts companies. Some of these platforms require you pay monthly subscription fees like Amazon and Shopify. You can always expand your business exposure to these platforms later on.

No money upfront, all free, great news for kids to start a business

Now choose the platform that is free first. We wanted to show you kids can start their own business with no upfront money required. All is needed is your kid’s time and he/she knows how to use a smartphone and/or a laptop.

Dropshipping service

We will show you how to set up an online storefront in Teespring.com. We choose teespring.com because they provide a drop shipping service. This means you do not have to buy your T-shirts upfront and you do not have to worry about what sizes to stock up etc. Teespring will print the T-shirts when your customer order one and send it to your customer directly and pay you the profit. With this service, Teespring.com will charge you a base cost to print your T-shirt for your customers.

The General T-shirts printing rules are more colors on your design will cost more to print therefore less profit for you. For this reason, design your T-shirt with fewer colors if possible.
