Young Entrepreneurs Alaska

If you are still in school, there has never been a better time to become a young entrepreneur.

Some people drop out of college to start their own business.  But that is a risk that you don't need to take. 

Instead, why not start a business while you are still a full time student?  There is no reason you can't do both, and this is a perfect way to try out entrepreneurship on a small scale.  More students then ever before are starting businesses while still in school, and becoming young entrepreneurs.

Here are five excellent business ideas you can use to become a young entrepreneur:

One of the best wages a college student can earn is working as a tutor.  While most on campus jobs pay about $10 per hour, tutoring rates regularly go as high as $20-$40 per hour.  You could start by doing some tutoring yourself, but why not hire your friends to do the tutoring, and match them with kids who need help?  Take your percentage off the top, or a flat fee each time you make a match, and you've created your own tutoring business! 

To get some clients, meet with counselors at local high schools, drive some traffic to a web page with Google Adwords, or ask for referrals from friends, family, and happy customers.  Before you know it, you'll have a scalable business that provides tremendous value to the community....
