A Unique Opportunity For A Young Entrepreneur

The warm days of summer are here again and young entrepreneurs everywhere are considering ways to earn as much money as possible within a few short weeks.

While most are still incorporating traditional methods such as mowing yards and washing cars, others are forced to give up their plans of summer business ownership and find a job simply because they can?t come up with a suitable plan of action.

This opportunity is for anyone who has the desire to rise above the average and start their own business.

If you are a parent, guardian, or a big brother type of person who wants to help the next generation succeed, pay close attention to what you are about to read.

I?m going to give you an idea that will generate extra income while giving you some exceptional experience in a field that is destined to be one of the top income producers in the future.

Your customers will be immediately attracted to you because of the uniqueness of your ability and the obvious benefit to them.

You can build small solar panels. When I say small, I mean small enough to carry under one arm.

Hundreds of people in your area would love to save money by getting free electricity!

In the average household there are dozens of uses for solar panels. Most people think that it?s too complicated or just don?t want to take the time to discover how simple it is to build them.

Pre-made solar panels are expensive which means the profit margin is amazing when you build them yourself.

As with everything, there is some upfront costs associated with building these types of projects, but practically all of your money will be recouped upon your first sale.

The knowledge and experience you gain will far surpass your expectations.

Here is my suggested plan of action:

1. Purchase a good quality set of plans.

This initial step is absolutely critical to your success. It is virtually impossible to complete a solar project that looks great and works well without comprehensive plans.

Professionally done videos and graphics give you step by step fool-proof guidance.

Should any questions arise, technicians are standing by ready to help.

Plans are available for under $50 and come with a 100% money back guarantee.

2. Locate your materials.

You can get solar cells locally or online that are very inexpensive.

Be sure to select the ?tabbed? cells since they are easier to connect. Your plans will explain this in greater detail.

With regard to materials you?ll use for the outer container, you should start by looking for construction sites in your area.

Go up to the carpenters and ask them if you can have some of the scrap wood laying around.

Electricians most always have pieces of wire and conduit laying around that they will be willing to contribute.

Talk with the roofers about some thin metal roofing and flashing.

Sign shops and other businesses that use clear plastics are excellent places to solicit parts for your solar product.

I guarantee that most, if not all of these construction workers will be more than happy to give you all you want.

If you are a bit nervous about asking, then just look in their dumpsters, but make sure that you only get things out of the trash unless you ask first.

3. Assemble your panels.

Having a huge amount of space is not necessary to get started.

Decide how large your solar panel will be and find a surface where you can lay it flat. Use anything you can, a kitchen table if that's all you have. Don't let anything stop you.

Basic hand tools are all that is necessary as well.

Your set of plans will give you all the information you?ll need. 4. Promote your product.

Get business cards. You can get them free online at vista print.

You can go door to door with fliers or a sample panel and take orders.

If the people trust you, often you can ask for a deposit, perhaps half of the money upfront so you can lock in the business agreement, but you better deliver on your promise of quality and the time frame that they can expect to receive their panel.

You can set up a display at a local store parking lot. Ask the manager's permission beforehand so you're protected.

Place a bold lettered sign on a folding table stating your product.

Set up a working model for people to see.

Get a receipt book so you can give receipts for any money you receive.

Retain accurate accounts of your customer's information so you can send them a "thank you" note in a few days. They will share their good experience with their friends. You will also have the opportunity to sell other products to them in the future.

Parents are trying desperately to relate to teenagers these days. This is a great way to get involved in their lives and know exactly where they are at any given moment. Get excited about helping your child earn money and watch their attitude improve.

How Parents Can Help:

1. Set up a personal ?business? work space for them at home and help them with their first solar panel by using the plans you?ve purchased.

2. As you build your first panel, keep a list of the parts and sizes of each piece.

3. Cut several individual pieces and let your young entrepreneur assemble them.

If for some reason this is not possible, make a list of the various cabinet shops, electrical shops, and sign shops in your area.

Go to each one and tell them what your plan is and the situation you?re in.

Give them a list of the pieces including the sizes you want cut. Don?t rush them, but ask if they can have some ready for you in a few days.

If they understand that they are helping out a young person, they will be happy to help and more than likely they won?t charge you anything since they will be using scrap and can cut all the pieces you need in a matter of minutes.

Imagine your son or daughter standing in front of an adult, holding a professionally looking product that they constructed with their very own hands.

Older people will immediately be interested and if for some reason they can?t purchase right away, leave them a business card and chances are they will eventually call you.
