YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS

How do you become a successful entrepreneur while you’re still at school? Four young people explain how they did it.

Katie Bradley, 14 - The chef

I’ve always eaten cakes, but when I learned to make them I realised how unhealthy many of them were. So I wanted to find a way to make healthy cakes, without much sugar. Instead of lots of sugar, I used more fruit and healthy kinds of low-sugar chocolate. The results were amazing – they were delicious, and also good for you. My mum encouraged me to start selling them at our local market, and I came up with the name ‘Katie’s cakes’. I was surprised at how popular they were! Now I’ve been contacted by a big supermarket. They’re keen to sell my products, so I’m really excited!

Ben Stewart, 15 - The blogger

I love writing, so one day my teacher suggested I started a blog. But there are lots of blogs on the internet, and I wanted my blog to be different. Then I had a great idea. I'm really interested in shopping, and I also know more about money than most teenagers: you know, how to earn it and how to save it. So I started a shopping and money blog for teenagers. I give people advice about shopping − and if they have money problems, I tell them the best thing to do. I started the website a year ago, and it's grown and grown. Thousands of people visit my blog now, and I make money from adverts on the blog. I’ve had lots of great messages from people too. One person said that I had changed their life. That’s awesome!

Gareth Jones, 13 - The website designer

I’ve had a computer since I was six years old, so I’ve grown up with I.T. I use websites all the time to help me with my homework. But in the past I often couldn’t find the answers to simple questions very quickly. I realised that many teenagers were probably having the same problem. So I came up with an idea for a new website. It's designed to help people with their homework, and it's already become very popular. It's for young people and written by young people too. It doesn’t cost anything to use the website, but I have advertisements on there so I’m making a lot of money. It’s brilliant!

Davina Richards, 16 - The online seller

When I was twelve years old, I wanted to go on a school trip. But my mum said that she wouldn’t pay for it − I could only go on the trip if I paid for it myself. So, I needed to sell something and make money. My mum

showed me how to use eBay, and I looked through my old CDs, books and gadgets and decided which ones to sell. I made £100 in the first few days, and after that I couldn’t stop. Now I’ve got an online shop. I buy things to sell in my shop, and my friends and I make things to sell online too.

Which person had an idea because they were having trouble with something?
