determined 15 year old who would appreciate any bit of advice

[prophasiAN]

I am a money hungry 15 year old. One idea I have tried was Vinted Reselling where i spent 220 on some reps from TaoBao and sold it all for 660 making 440 profit which im happy about it also took under 2 days to sell out so im trying that again next week but it sparked the idea in my head about what else could i do?

I have started learning Python but i was wondering...

There are so many more ideas but im unsure what i should fully dive in on:
AI models, Quora, SEO, Freelancing, Trading the list goes on and on and on and on and on and on etc etc

I am unaware of how many other possiblities there are but to sum it up i just need some advice on what ideas I should try.

Deifnatly make sure that as a 15 year old, you stick to the correct side of the law, and don't sell counterfit fake stuff on good quality platforms. You'll get banned and lose your payment gateway. There isn't THAT many of them on different sites, so you'll be limited, as its not a case of anymore, "just register with a new email"

Take your time and plan out what you want to do, and can learn ONCE you've researched lots of methods, and read a lot. Any job has beginner medium and advanced. You won't be advanced for years, so take your time and build and plan carefaully. Then you'll succeed at a better pace than just an unscalable few hundred scammed dollar profit.

Now your hooked though right? You know how easy it is, and the depth and logistics of some of the market. You can go places, you just need to parralell your learning and hustling with reading biograhies of famous people you admire. Reading their adversity, and tricks that they used to face their challenges is VERY helpful.

best of luck. Keep studying hard. There is a great variety of money making site discussions on bhw, in journey and money making. At 15 i got my first cleaning job with an office cleaning company. One job in the morning and a paper round at night. There was no internet. Don't try to hard online when your young, there is a lot of golden opporunitities to do well and get into upper management and such at even places like mcdinners, since discipline is a rarity. Study mental skills too. You'll need them! lol

First of all... be PATIENT!

The fact that you were willing to take a risk at 15 already says a lot about you. I'm sure $220 wasn't a small amount of money for you to invest, so the fact that you turned it into $660 is something you should be proud of.

I still remember when I started my first side hustles around your age. Making that first real profit is an amazing feeling, and it gives you confidence that making money is actually possible.

One thing I want to tell you though don't let all these course sellers and social media "gurus" mess with your head. They'll make you think that if you don't have a Lambo a penthouse and a million dollars by 18 you're somehow behind. That's complete bullshit.

Right now, your biggest advantage is time.

Reinvest as much of your profit as you can. Don't waste it on designer clothes or random stuff just to impress people for five minutes. Nobody who actually becomes successful gets there by blowing their first profits.

If something is making you money - double down on it. Squeeze everything you can out of that opportunity before jumping to the next shiny thing.

Also, watch out for Shiny Object Syndrome. It's one of the biggest mistakes people make when they first start making money online. Every week there's a new "best business model" Ignore the noise. If one thing is working, stay focused and get really good at it before moving on.

And one last thing...

I don't even know you, but just from reading your post, I'm genuinely proud of you. Most 15 year olds aren't thinking about building something - they're thinking about spending money. You're thinking about how to make more of it and that's a mindset that can take you a long way if you stay patient and keep learning.

Good luck young entrepreneur!

Thank you so so much for your insight. Your warning about the shiny object syndrome really relates to me lol. I do have a bad tendency of looking at loads of different business ideas, so I think I need to pick one, get good at it, and reinvest instead of constantly jumping around at the new trends on tiktok. Thanks as well for the encouragement it genuinely means so much its undescribable.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a great reply, I really do appreciate it. You have definitely given me a different perspective on things. I'll take your advice on being patient, learning properly before jumping into things and making sure I stay on the right side of the law. Thanks again and I wish you all the best too.

You're young, try things for fun. Don't aim for money right away. This is coming from someone who started at 16 as well. Had no idea I could make money online, was doing things for fun and then money came along. Years later I realized I made money more effortlessly when I wasn't trying hard to make things work.

At 15, you are just at the beginning; you should invest in developing your skills, exploring your interests, and building upon what you already have to create a solid foundation. Focus on familiar tasks while continuing to learn. There is no need to worry too much, as growth takes time and requires space to evaluate effectiveness and plan how to organize your efforts.

You're already making good money from flipping products, which is a great start. I'd keep doing that while learning Python then start freelancing offering your services. You can always keep leveling up your skills as you go.
