Twitter #FF List (6-18-10)
June 18th, 2010 | Author: Pencil Bugs

I’ve met lots of biz kids of all ages since I started my business. But these four are just a few of the older ones I was lucky to meet because we were all featured in Mark Victor Hansen’s book, “The Richest Kids in America.” Not every person featured in the book was rich by any means, me included, but each person had their special talents and reasons for starting their business.

Chelsea Eubank – @faithfulfish Founder of Faithful Fish, a clothing line with cool designs with a religious theme. Chelsea has quite a story to tell. Make sure to check out her website and if you’re not already following her on Twitter, do it now.

Olivia Bennett – @oliviabennett A talented artist who started painting at five years old as a form of therapy after having cancer. Her artwork is amazing.

Martina Butler – @emogirltalk She runs her own web podcast and was the first teenager to get national sponsorship.

Allyson Ames – @wonderlandbakery Allyson could be a “look-a-like” for Alice in Wonderland but in reality, she started her own bakery business and does amazing custom cookies, cakes, cupcakes, etc. I’ve tried them and they are as good as they look.

Of course, if you’re not already following Mark on Twitter, make sure you do. @markvhansen

If you’re interested in buying a copy of the book, I have it on sale now through July 4 for just $8.99 with FREE shipping and autographed by me. Check my Pencil Bugs website to order.

Well, school’s out for the summer officially today.  I have a lot of fun things planned so if you want to follow my adventures, subscribe to my blog.

Last week, I started my new Twitter Follow Friday format of writing about people on my blog.  I got a lot of positive feedback on this new format so enjoy the second list for today.

The following people deserve a huge thanks for writing an endorsement for my upcoming book, “Bitten by the Business Bug: Common Sense Tips for Business and Life from a Teen Entrepreneur.”

@raisingCEOkids – Sarah Cook – www.raisingCEOkids.com (Founder of Raising CEO Kids and mom of three biz kids herself)

@barefoot_exec – Carrie Wilkerson – www.blogbarefoot.com (Founder of Barefoot Executive and mom who “says it like it is”)

@inventorsdigest – Mike Drummond – www.inventorsdigest.com (Editor-in-chief of the magazine)

@MarkVHansen – Mark Victor Hansen – www.markvictorhansen.com (Co-author of the best-selling Chicken Soup for the Soul series)

And if you’re looking for any type of graphics work, make sure you check out

@chazGfxdesigner – Chaz DeSimone – www.chazdesimone.com Chaz took our original book cover design and put his professional touch on it. Sometimes the smallest changes make all the difference.

If you want to receive an email when my book is officially released and ready for sale, please fill out the email form on my website or just check back on my site around the first part of July.

My Twitter Follow Friday List (6-4-10)
June 04th, 2010 | Author: Pencil Bugs

For anyone who is on Twitter, you can’t miss all the tweets on Fridays that start with #FF or #FollowFriday and then list name after name after name.

While I appreciate people recommending me to others, I started to feel bad when I couldn’t always reciprocate because I was in school all day. By the time I got home and done with homework (yes, even on Fridays teachers give homework), Friday was almost over for most people, especially on the east coast.  So I wouldn’t tweet my #followfriday people.

Today I got out of school early so thought I would recommend some of my favorite tweeples. Before I started tweeting, I ran across this blog about how the whole #FollowFriday thing has gotten out of control and fewer people really pay attention to it.  So I’m following the format in this blog post http://whoisandywarner.com/new-follow-friday-format/ and posting a weekly blog on Fridays of people that are worth following for specific reasons.

Now, that’s not to say that everyone doesn’t have value but if the list each week was too long, it would diminish the point.  So here’s my new #FF format and list for this week.

@ben_armstrong – BEN ARMSTRONG because he’s another biz kid and my most recent BizKid 2 BizKid interview featured on my blog for June. He’s definitely going to do lots in business.

@jakestutorials – JAKE COOK makes the best video tutorials on everything technical. Even if he doesn’t already have one on a particular subject, let him know and he’ll create one. Also a featured BizKid 2 BizKid interview.

@raisingCEOkids – SARAH COOK happens to be Jake’s mom and as everyone knows, none of us biz kids could do all this without the help and support from our parents.

@perryspreviews – PERRY CHEN is a 10-year-old film critic from San Diego who I recently met on Twitter. We are both going to be guest speakers at Blazing My Trail conferences this summer at the University of San Diego. It’ll be great to meet him in person.

@trailsnotpaths – ANN MARIE HOUGHTAILING is the founder of the Blazing My Trail program and has all the right ideas for kids in today’s society. Make sure to follow her and check out the conference if you’re in the San Diego area in late July/early August. The conference is for middle and high school kids.

@zachveach – ZACH VEACH is a 15-year-old race car driver. That’s enough right there because how many kids do you know who are racing cars at fifteen?  Well, at least legally. :)  He was also one of my BizKid 2 BizKid interviews.

I hope you find these people interesting. I know I have.
