    How young are we talking here? If you're promoting to teens, I probably wouldn't include kid.

      The problem is, I don't want the URL to have Entrepreneur in it because for some people it can be hard to spell

        I think it should be a pre-requisite for being an entrepreneur that you be able to spell entrepreneur.

      Future Fortune is the name i'd go with and watch how many students gravitate toward that name.

        This is my favorite name so far. It can also work for anybody regardless of age in case you ever felt like expanding outside of younger customers. Catchy and room for growth/expansion.

          If you are targeting the under 25 crowd directly, my suggestion would be to not use "young" or "kid."

          I remember when I was in high school, I applied to enroll in a writers' program. But, as soon as they found out my age, they were pushing for me to join their "young" writers' program.

          That was insulting.

          I wanted to be part of a real program, not sitting at the kids' table.

          When I was a young adult, there was another program that used "young" in their title, and I never joined that either.

          When you're that age, you want to be treated like an adult. And calling them "young" or a "kid" sends the message that you're not really taking them seriously.

          I think if you're targeting parents, then using "young" or "kid" might be okay, because that will be how they think of their kids.

            ^^^^ This ... exactly. Someone understands!

            I'm 21 and most of the type of names you're looking at would make me run a mile.

            With apologies for sounding rude, or churlish (if I do - I'm trying only to be helpful) "Young Kid Young Biz", in particular, is really dreadful and will immediately lose almost anyone with any intelligence/taste who doesn't want to be patronized or insulted by the drawing of attention to their inexperience/immaturity. :p :rolleyes:

    I kind of like Kid CEO. But I think a little more creativity is needed in order to pull a little more interest, depending on the exact demographic of kids you are targeting. Cool is in always!

      Exactly, I like YoungStars, it's a play on words! Some of the other suggestions are pretty good too. The problem with Kid CEO is that most of my target audience is not young enough to be considered a kid

  • Try Young Money. But I think Lil Wayne has a record label with the same name. LOL I think you have a great idea though. Young people usually have less responsibility and can dive in head first with something like IM without the fears of losing a house or providing for a family. Get started when you are still free from grown up responsibility. I have a friend named Paul Counts who started at age 16 and is a multi millionaire at the age of 25. Make your idea a reality! Research the Law of Attraction to give yourself the necessary confidence to realize your unlimited power.

    Hey..

    I'm 24 myself, and I agree on trying to avoid at least "kid" for the reasons already mentioned (although I think that some of your names with "kid" in them have a very good ring to them)

    "Young" might work, just make sure you don't communicate, that "young" people have some special needs or need some kind of different treatment than other adults.

    I love the name Classroom Profession for several reasons. Like previously mentioned if you targeting people who under 25 then you should make it sound like they are indeed professionals and that you will be their teacher/mentor.

    I think this is a great idea personally and could really inspire alot of young kids trying to make cash in college or high school/etc.
