Should You Sell Products or Services?Are you wanting to start a micro business, but aren’t sure whether to start a product based business or a service based one? In the video below, I explain the differences between the two.

micro-mid-1Have you ever had a great idea and thought about starting a micro business? If so, you should check out my book series, Micro Business for Teens. In my books, you’ll gain valuable insight for starting a micro business.

Check out my books today and start your own micro business for success! Available for purchase on Amazon, Amazon Kindle, Createspace, and as a PDF eBook on my website.
