Running a successful small business is hard. But these kid entrepreneurs are showing that it’s just child’s play.
Leanna Archer decided she wanted to become a hair care mogul at the ripe old age of 11.
”The idea came to me when I received tons of compliments about my hair and I knew it was thanks to my homemade products,” said Archer. ”I had nothing to lose, because I figured that if it didn’t work out I still had my whole life ahead of me.”
Archer’s company, Leanna’s Inc., makes eight organic, hair products, which include hair dressings, hair butters and shampoos. Her secret formulas have been passed down through her family for generations and are free of sodium lauryl sulfate and parabens, chemicals which are considered health risks. `’Our products contains no oil filters, no synthetic ingredients, no chemically-engineered ingredients,” she said.
Last year, the company had revenues of more than $100,000. The Long Island entrepreneur expects that number to increase to more than $300,000 by year-end. She is in the process of building an army of sales representatives across the United States.
Her advice to small business owners: ”All new entrepreneurs should know that mistakes are a big part of success.”
The amount of Internet traffic of the world will quadruple by 2015 as the number of networked devices surpasses 15 billion, according to a report from Cisco.
The dramatic jump in Internet traffic will occur as a result of four key factors, Cisco says.
Computers accounted for 97 percent of all traffic last year. That number will drop to 87 percent by 2015, as more mobile devices hop online. As a result, mobile Internet traffic around the world will jump 26 times, to 75 exabytes per year or 6.3 exabytes per month in 2015.
The number of people accessing online video will increase by about 500 million users in another four years.

Hip hop newcomer Kreayshawn is a million dollars richer after Sony inked her to a recording contract, Miss Info reports.
The Oakland rapper/filmmaker and self proclaimed “rap beast” first gained some local attention by filming music videos for Bay Area artists, most notably Lil B. It wasn’t long before she went into the booth herself to record the mixtape ‘Kittys X Choppas‘ which spawned the local hit and video ‘Bumpin Bumpin.’ But it wasn’t until she released the video for “Gucci Gucci” did major labels start scrambling to sign her.
With a label deal now secured, Kreayshawn and her White Girl Mob crew (Kreayshawn, her sister V-Nasty and DJ Lil Debbie) are ready to take on the hip hop world.
Lil Wayne, Drake and Lil Twist made it rain at King of Diamonds strip club in Miami. Sources say YMCMB dropped $250k on strippers. #GWOP
“The Revolution will Not be Televised”
via: NYTimes
Gil Scott-Heron, the poet and recording artist whose syncopated spoken style and mordant critiques of politics, racism and mass media in pieces like “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised” made him a notable voice of black protest culture in the 1970s and an important early influence on hip-hop, died on Friday at St. Luke’s Hospital in Manhattan. He was 62 and had been a longtime resident of Harlem. Checkout a few Hip Hop tweets for Gil Scott-Heron below:
Directors Bill Duke and D. Channsin Berry have put together a powerful new documentary titled ‘Dark Girls‘ that takes a look at the “deep-seated biases and attitudes about skin color…particularly dark skinned women, outside of and within the Black American culture.”
