I have a question...

NickThacker

Hello all!
I have a question regarding launching a new venture:
If I was a college student (I am), and I was interested in launching a new business/venture/project/etc. (I am), what are some ideas for what I should do?
I`m hoping to get some feedback that has some specific guidelines, i.e. 1) what the business is, 2) some specific steps to starting it up, and 3) how will it cost/how much will it make...
I understand this is a very loaded question, but I`m just "testing the waters" a bit. Have you done something that earned you anywhere from $50/month upwards? I`d love to hear about it and get a dialogue going.
I look forward to your response,
Nick

Are there any good businesses related to internet marketing that would be simple enough to get into without much money. Something that would be profitable if enough time was spent on it, maybe?

Ok ok, I need to confess: my goal for asking the vague "what should I do with my life" question was to generate a dialogue between a few of you that will eventually lead to a compilation book of business ideas and tips on how to start each. I felt that if I began the discussion from a more "open-ended" standpoint, users may begin to get invested in the project as well.
Either way, I`d like to continue with a short "Chicken Soup" style book, if you will, that contributers can sell to their network.
That`s the basic idea! Hope I didn`t scare anyone off.
