you have a super idea for a school fundraiser that requires an actual product…a product you really want to control yourself.

Enter resources that give you that precise ability!

I read this morning from Popgadget the following:

…The Internet lets us do all manner of things: send emails, write blogs and of course, run manufacturing businesses in conjunction with companies halfway across the world.

Wait, what was that last one again?

Wired reports that a growing number of entrepreneurs (who they cutely call “instapreneurs”) are using sites like Zazzle, which will make your design into a t-shirt for general retail, Blurb, which will knock you up a book and Ponoko, which will make up anything from a pair of earrings like the ones pictured above, to a large-scale item of furniture. And they will make as many or as few as you like….MORE….

Think about not only the fundraising possibilities, but also the entrepreneuring possibilities for your kids as well!

Wired writes:

…. Welcome to the age of the instapreneur. With nothing more than a design, amateurs can manufacture jewelry, robots, T-shirts, furniture — anything. No warehouses. No minimum orders. And no money down. The digital economy isn’t just digital; the same market forces that allowed midlist musicians to make a living distributing their songs online now give amateur clothiers the chance to sell their wares without having to persuade Barney’s buyers to carry them…..MORE….

The possibilities are mind-boggling here. We all know of brainy, creative kids who have the entrepreneurial spark (perhaps they even are in your family) - these resources could really give a superb legs up!
