I was about 8 years old when i had my first go, my dad was building a new house and there was always a lot of builders around and i enjoyed helping them out.
Being 8, i came up with the name “Builders are Us” and i have the business card to prove it! My dad contacted Toys R us for me to see if i could use the name but unfortunately they turned me down.
If you're really considering making a living through blogging, then you absolutely have to check out Blogging To The Bank by Rob Benwell. In his book, the UK millionaire blogger reveals step by step how he makes as much as $90,480 a month from just a few hours work.
Just starting your blog? Check out Become a Blogger where you can find all the information you will ever need so that you can create your first website, drive traffic to it and then make your first few dollars. To make this a no-brainer for you, I have contacted the creator of Become a Blogger and persuaded them to give you a $1 trial so you can test it out basically for FREE.
Well, in all honesty, BlueIrn is actually my first project that I actually started and didn’t ‘partly’ inherit, so to speak. On that note, I started it when I was 17, and I still am 17. So in closing, I was 17 when I started my first business.
That your father called Toys ‘R’ Us got to be a lie, they can’t decide wether your name is “acceptable” or not to use….
In fact Stephan its the truth, he did send a letter to them. I’m guessing because R Us is a trademark?
Hmm, but you haven’t exactly got ‘R Us’ in your name, so they’d have to be really pedantic to file a lawsuit against it.
