Summer micro business idea: Flip Flops

You are here: Home / Micro Business Ideas / Summer micro business idea: Flip Flops

Summer time means flip flops! Try decorating them in unique ways as a micro business this summer.

Get inspiration form Pinterest, Etsy or Madison Robinson, who had the idea to turn ordinary flip flops into extraordinary sea-themed fish flops with battery powered lights.

Madison’s Fish Flop shoes have now gone on to sell more than 60,000 pairs and have made her more than $1.2 million dollars! Fish Flops are now sold in Nordstrom and Macy stores nationwide. You can read more of Madison’s amazing success story here.  This story is courtesy of Forbes.

Warning! When decorating flip flops don’t copy any professional sports teams logos or you’ll be in hot water!

From a parent

Thank you for your e-book on teen micro businesses. Your valuable experience and wealth of knowledge is vast.

Your presentations at Cincinnati homeschool conferences and sharing with us over the years have benefited us well.

I can hardly believe we are at this point in our life-and here he is a young man ready to try his fortune with the world.
