Default Hi, Im Sam

Hi everyone at TBF

Im Sam and Im 14 years old living in the UK. I have always wanted to start my own business from about 11 and my first taster of business was when i bought sweets from my local newsagents shutting down for really cheap and then selling them at school.

Now im looking to take it a bit further as i want to gain some money for university and my first car
I am now considering starting a small ebay business or Graphic Design business as that is something i really enjoy. If any of you want a logo for your business i can do you one.

Looking forward to being part of these forums

Hey Sam,

Do you have a graphic design portfolio? How long have you been doing designs? Do you prefer working with clients to selling stuff on ebay?

Well i started designing in about december but only really started about a month ago when i setup my youtube account to showcase some of my work. At the moment i am learning some basic coding so i can make my own portfolio myself but i am making a temporary one with deviantart.

Im not quite sure which i prefer, it feels good when i sell stuff on ebay and then seeing the money in my bank but then its a boring process with writing all the descriptions but designing i actually enjoy but dont really get paid for it yet

Definitely check out this post: No more yes. It's either HELL YEAH! or no. | Derek Sivers

If you feel that way about graphic design, then you're on your way. Do you design logos or do you design web elements?

Hey Sam,
Big welcome to the site. Another member from the UK. UK kids are taking over the internet money-making space. Anyway, here are a few people to friend in the community- @ryanhami, @adamm (both are experts at selling on eBay). @twistereli and @vic create awesome graphics. I use them both frequently. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions. I will help out anyway I can.

Hey Sam,

Welcome to the forum. There is a lot of potential on eBay to make a lot of money, as Jack says if you have any questions about starting up on eBay or trying to find products just send me a private message should be able to help.

Ryan
