Cash-smart Kids Video Competition Rewards Learning About Money And Business
Posted in Audio And Video Marketing
Do you know someone under 16 years of age who has an entrepreneurial streak? There are many ways for kids to make money around these days, and now there’s a competition which will bring huge benefits to the cash smart kids who are acting on those opportunities.
Raising Entrepreneurs has started a global search for two entrepreneurs under sixteen to be featured in the 2008 Charity Book Project.
The two winners will be profiled alongside big names like Ben Casnocha, who started a software business at 13, and was CEO of a Silicon Valley start-up by seventeen.
Runners up will also get exposure, with their names and the URLs of their websites listed in the book, and their stories being told in more detail in various marketing activities around the launch of the book.
If you know anyone under sixteen who has a business – or is about to start one – this is a golden opportunity to kick that business to a new level!
Publicity, new clients, mentors, business opportunities – so much can come of just a little bit of exposure. Kids have even gained college scholarships on the basis of their business activities in their early teens!
So, how do you put your hand up for some of these goodies?
Just make a 2-minute video of the young entrepreneur and put it on YouTube, tagged “cash smart kids”. Competition rules can be found at the RaisingEntrepreneurs.org website, and include exactly what information needs to go into the video, so read them carefully!
Starting young in business can be an advantage these days rather than a liability, because kids can get attention, support and mentoring from successful business-people if they start young and appear competent and professional. For example, check out what Alan Forrest Smith, world-famous copywriter, had to say about this young entrepreneur:
Teaching kids how to make money is so important in today’s uncertain economic climate – those who can make their own opportunities will never go hungry!
Mind you, there are plenty of adults who have yet to learn how to think like a business owner, or who lack the drive and enthusiasm required to really get a business off the ground. Plenty of adults have “bought themselves a job” rather than really launching a true business. Some adult business-owners would do well to watch the competition entries as they appear on YouTube, and try to recapture the sense of infinite possibility that gives the young their zest for business!
Are YOU being lied to? If you're in network marketing or MLM, the answer is probably YES.
