hello steemians

Hi, I'm a thirteen year old with a mind for business.

I'm the one in front. 

Now for the full introduction. I'm going into the eight grade later this year and ended seventh pretty well. I'm sure you've heard about fidget spinners or even held one yourself. I sold these during the last month of the school year to my peers. I would take orders from people and buy the spinners for very cheap. 

The fidget spinners were only $2.65 directly from China with free shipping. But the good thing was that they were very good spinners that would not disappoint my customers. I marked up the price quite a bit, just as a real business man would. From $2.65 to $10, making just under $8 per sale.

I also sold PopSockets which are just collapsible pieces of plastic that stick to the back of your phone. These PopSockets were also a hit! They are both stylish and functional. They allow you to easily hold your phone and have all sorts of different designs.

I also got PopSockets directly from china with free shipping. They were less than $1 and I sold them at school for $6. I had people asking for more products even after I ran out. Sadly, shipping takes at least 2 weeks when coming halfway around the world and when I was out of stock, there were only 3 days left of school.

In the end, I earned $230 and $170 in profit. I would say my time during end of course exams and standardized tests was bettered due to the money coming in. Thank you very much for taking time out of your day to read my 'introduceyourself' I hope you enjoyed.
