    Other than regular jobs…

    1. go to yard sales, pick up items for VERY little money, and re-sell on e-bay.
    2. Clean windows – a good starting point per window is
    60¢ for 1 side
    $1.00 for both sides
    35¢ per screen
    count the windows on a house, and you figure out how much money there is to be made. Put out flyers in your neighborhood, and make appointments.

    Yo man I feel you to! My grandfather started his own business at age 18 and buy the time he was 19 he was a millionaire (Talk about being set for life!). Well anyways man I want to start my own business to and I’m 17. I think that the you sell things that interest you. For me I enjoy games and books so that is what I am going to try to sell online. The man above me is right though, before you can do anything you need cash! I suggest working for a year at a retail store and make sure you save your money that is what I am doing.

    I love seeing a entrepreneur.

    First thing list out your resources at your current position your best resource seems like it would be your family so keep that in mind during your ideas and concepts.

    Going back to what your said about the concept of online website. Honestly, the best way to do it is create a blog and put an advertisement from adsense by google. You can create the blog absolutely free at blogspot.com. Than you can go to the school and tell your buddies we have a cool website cough cough check our advertisements they are great resources. You get around 70 cents click from something absolutely free. Thats the best way.

    I don’t know if you have taken any classes on web design or stuff like that but I can tell your from personal expiernce it is tough for me to creating a website as we speak and I took a class on computer and publications and creating websites.

    If you want to check the website out its 1stockreport.com
    and if you want to know my blog its wsaddict.blogspot.com

    The blog was created smoothly but the website I am dedicating a lot of time to and still not satisfied by it at all.

  4. I am only 14 and I have huge plans to start a major online auction website (as in as major as eBay). My mom and many other people said they would help start my international auction site. I need lots of money to start the site though. Maybe the services I need to start and run my site (such as security, headquarters, computer soft and hardware) will be givin to me for free first, then when I make lots of money off my online auction website (like several million) I will pay off the money that I owe-that could work. Don’t just start a website to sell stuff-be the medium that stuff is sold through like eBay. Instead of selling stuff have people pay you like 50 cents to put their item on your site for auctioning just like eBay. By doing that, Pierre Omidyar who started eBay became an instant billionaire. How does that sound?!! It’s alot of work but it is worth it! Hope I helped.

    I would recommend starting your own business, where you sell other peoples items on ebay for them and whatever it sells for you keep say  of the money and the owner gets the rest. This is good because many people who live near me are terrible on computers and they are paying me to sell there old items.

    I also go to a small car boot and buy quality items at a cheap price then go to a car boot near me which happens to be popular and very big, and I sometimes am able to sell items for up to 65% more than what I bought them for.
