How old were you when you started your first business?

I started a snow shoveling service when I was 10 years old if that counts. I started my first real business however when I was around 17 years old creating websites for people. So when did all of you start your first business?

I got into business selling PHP Scripts when I was 17 and have gotten into other small things since then.

I started mowing the lawn when I was around 13, ($20/lawn). I've done babysitting, soccer reffing, snow shoveling, leaf blowing, office clerk, stock market investing. I started my first real website to generate revenue only 2-3 weeks ago. (I'm 16 years old.)

16 in a serious way.

I started making website for people for money when I was 20.
Then I started making sites for myself.

So I was a late bloomer compared to most of you

I was probably around 17 when I started developing websites for people, but it didn't really start to take off for a few years after I started.

My first Internet business was started at the age of 11.

I made about ten thousand dollars selling advertising on a fansite of a computer game. Who said you couldn't be really young and make money?

oh my god, thats amazing!
I would never even know what $10,000 was when i was 11!
How did your site get so popular?

I can only imagine what sort of money you are earning now..
