Paper round

What are you interested in? This is normally a good thing to identify and then business ideas will often flow from that.

 

[danmaull]

I'm interested in computers and bikes mainly, had a paper round but gave it up because it was annoying getting up at 6.

eBay? Not much you can do really without investment mate.

 

[Simon-M]

When you say computers what do you mean. Do you like collecting them? Programing them? Cleaning them? Computers is a pretty big subject covering many specialisations. Give us a clue.

And what sort of bikes? Motor or push?

How about selling/fitting bike parts?

 

[danmaull]

I'm like to know about all the really complicated stuff inside and i know a bit of html but not enough to make a business on. And push bikes might look into selling some bike stuff.

What are you studying at college? Could that suggest any ideas?

 

[Simon-M]

You could try getting some html work on elance or something. There are a few of those sites about. Means you can do a bit of biz in your jim jams after college too. Costs the price of a broadband connection and a few books to brush up on the bits you don't know.

Maths, I.T., economics and envirenmental science.
And take part in young enterprise
