But in any case, no, this is nearly impossible to do as an eleven year old. I though the same as you when I was eleven. Unfortunately, life happens, and it's not possible.
I also have a skill in math. I played the game equations and went to a school touredement and got a perfect score (18). That was my first time so I have a skill in that.
Now that changes things.
Why settle at $50K? You could go for 20 times that money by solving a couple math problems.
It's nice that you're ambitious, but as it's been said many times already, it's near impossible for that to happen.
Now, I'm not an expert on businesses, but there are adults who have trouble making that much money, you know? Maybe if you worked with a parent, but still, what's the rush?
Why do you need to start a business now, and not wait until you're older and it'll be a lot easier? You should make the most of your childhood while it lasts, and worry about all of that later.
And you seem to be underestimating the dedication that's needed to write books. Believe me, I'm an aspiring author and I know how hard it is. You can't just throw up books, each one requires months of hard work; first drafts, rewriting, editing until it's presentable. Not to mention all of the planning and character development that you need to do before all of that. You can't just write thousands of books; a thousand books is an amazing book count for a lifetime
Anyway, I don't mean to be condescending or anything, and it's good that you're dreaming big, but I think it'd be good to just wait a while until you're older.
I do know a thousand books would be a lifetime achievement.
Anyway I'm trying to write a book but I never tried doing it proffesional (Planning, Characters, All that good stuff). Mind giving me some tips?
Also I might try Arozues idea.
All joking aside, you must be out of your mind. Your only hope is to use your math skills to solve Fermat's Last Theorem in a form that is understandable by humans.
I have discovered a truly marvelous proof of this, which this reply section is too small to contain.
Oh, one of those kids who thinks they're entitled to be rich.
You have to WORK for money. You don't just get money. Get some skills (because currently you have none), practice those skills and work hard at them. Then start working for someone else using these skills. Working in a professional environment will develop your skills way more than just learning on your own. Then after you've saved up a bunch of money perhaps then you can start thinking about starting your own business using your skills.
99% never make more than million bucks in their lifetime.

This guy said it better than everyone.
Still, 1 out of a 100 people are millionaires... That's 70,000,000 millionaires in this world.

Religion, has actually convinced people, that there's an invisible man, living in the sky, who watches everything you do every minute of the day, and the invisible man has a special list. Of 10 things he doesn't want you to do. And if you do ANY of these ten things he has a special place, full of fire, and smoke, and burning, and torture, and will send you there to suffer and choke and scream for all of eternity... But he still loves you.
My solution would be entering as many contests as you can, study hard and stuff, win quizs, do a ton of surveys and probably just sell stuff that you do not need anymore to your friends or just give them to charity.
I'm working on a book that I estimate 50 pages long. (Currently on page 3) But hey you got to try. If you don't you'll be one of the 99% of people that make $999,999 so close!
But really I'm trying.
And also I think a next gen arcade is a better fit.

We are not saying don't try. We're saying be realistic. Don't expect the money to drop out of the sky like you are right now. You have currently no options. Find something you like that could potentially be profitable, work hard at it and then by the time you're 18 you might be able to start a business around it.
You are not going to start a business when you are 11 years old. It's simply not possible.

So estimating the average 250 words a page on a typical word processor, that's 12500 words. Got yourself what fancy folks call a novellette.. Those go for at least $60000 a pop, so sell just one and you'll be fine!
But seriously, this thread is hilarious. But if you seriously want to write, go ahead and do it. However, be advised many people who write aren't so very successful. Plus with your only motivation to write being money, I'm doubting significantly you will produce much anything people want to read. You aren't the only person on this earth trying to write for money.
Anyway, if you want writing tips, there are plenty of subreddits for that. But you're 11. You are more than likely incapable of producing anything worthy of any large-scale recognition.
Do understand that I say this all because I love you. But I have to watch out for you. MOST IMPORTANTLY, why do you need fifty grand? And you need to be more specific about your ideas. "A story" or "a shop" isn't specific enough to warrant any real advice but drugs or the black market. But seriously, a lung can sell for eighty grand so go for it.
You remind me of myself when I was 10 or 11.
I wanted to start a little shop on Cafepress or something, and make hundreds or w/e aspirations kids have with that.
It didn't go well.
That was two or three years ago, and now I'm making well over minimum wage (around $1,000 a month usually, it varies) by interning at an animal shelter, I'm in a long term relationship (with someone who also nearly effortlessly gets boatloads), and I have a semi-active social life, some of which includes people who knew me back when I had such aspirations.
I'm not here to bring your hopes up or anything, I just want to shove my success in your face and/or laugh at you.

You don't

He apparently needs to open a generic "shop".

HAHAHAHHA.
don't you need a license or something.
Also,$50,000 as 11 years old sound impossible...
Nothing to see here~

Whats you buissness strategy? What will make you better than others? Do people want what you sell?
As for the building, oh dear god. Sell your stuff in some sort of stand, it will be much easier.
Do you know how to calculate tax? Be generous to your customers?
Will people even trust buying stuff from an 11 year old?Wait. I have an idea to help you earn money.
Force your parents to give you 1,000 dollars, then trade up using the magic of unstable econs.
