    Facebook is great... Advertise there.... 

    One way is print flyers with your information that depicts the services and fees for the services that you will provide and place  them securely at the homes in your area.


    Do not put them in the Mail Box, that is a violation of the Postal laws


    Depending on where your reside you may need a permit from the local authorities, however


     

    Check with your state. Some states charge state tax on your sales. You might have to get a business license even if it is a lemon aid stand.

    When I was about 11, I started a  petting zoo with all my friends pets. We put em in the garage and charged 5 cents admission. Didn't work out well, the pets all got into a fight. we had to close up shop. So then we went into the carnival business-- Trying to get some of the ugly kids to be freak show attractions didn't go over well with their parents-- So we went into the lemonade biz with dad's vodka.. the neighbor kids loved it, so did some of the parents. Pissed my dad off though..

    My parents bought me a printing press for my birthday, had the little rubber letters you had to slide into a typeset. A couple of my buds and I decided to start a neighborhood newspaper, most gossip and lies, we peddled it for 5 cents, Sold quite a few, door to door, people thought we we cute, young entrepreneurs-- it had about 5 pages, about the size of an index card. We got in bad trouble for starting gossip. There's no freedom of the press when you're 11 years old. :( Only ran two editions. Dad took my printing press away. So we decided to go door to door and collect money for charity, we collected about 4 bucks, we had enough money to buy burgers and fries and a drink for the 3 of us. Even left a tip.

    That could depend on the nature of the business that you have in mind. Do you care to share some details ?

    I use to mow lawns when I was your age 

    With the help from a responsible adult

    hAVE YOU GOT AN ACTUAL BUSINESS PLAN??...Yes Facebook`s a good one..or how about advertising your project on You Tube??:-)..GREAT that your so enthuisiastic that should get you far!!


    good luck,
