Does anyone have any good ideas for starting up a business?!?
Answer:
Think of all your interests & ask yourself if any of those could be expanded into a business. Just keep in mind.what's your expertise? What are your interests? What could you imagine yourself doing?
By researching the prospect of starting your own business -- what it entails, what you need to know, helpful hints, etc -- you'll feel better prepared to take that plunge.
I found some book titles that are relevant to your specific question:
* 101 Internet Businesses You Can Start from Home by Susan Sweeney
* The Best Home Businesses for the 21st Century by Paul Edwards
* Selling Online: How to Become a Successful E-Commerce Merchant by Jim Carroll
* I Could Do Anything If I Only Knew What It Was: How to Discover What You Really Want and How to Get It by Barbara Sher
* I Don't Know What I Want, But I Know It's Not This: A Step-by-Step Guide to Finding Gratifying Work by Julie Jansen
* The Best Internet Businesses You Can Start by Marian Betancourt
* The Shoestring Entrepreneur's Guide to Internet Start-Ups by Robert Spiegel
* Making a Living Without a Job : Winning Ways For Creating Work That You Love by Barbara Winter
I also posted some article links in the source box.
Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!
If I did I would be working on the business plan now rather than typing this reply!!
I think a lot of money can be made on the Internet and am currently building up that business and the money it brings in.
For example, I answered surveys on CashCrate and filled out some free offers and received a real check from them. For example, I signed up for E-bay and made a bid and got paid $8.00. And there are no fees to join. It is totally free.

This may not sound like much, but for every person you refer, you get 20% of what they earn. And for every person that one of your referrals refer to CashCrate, you get 10%. It may take some time to build up the number of referrals necessary to make a lot of money, but in time--this could be a great source of income--making money while other people are in a sense, working for you.
And by the way--never join a work at home program that wants you to pay up front. If they were making that much money, they wouldn't need to charge you.

IF I DID I WOULDNT GO SPREADING IT ACCROSS THE COLUMNS OR THE NET !!

Depends on what you have on your mind. If you are think of starting up a restaurant or a bar or a food/retail store, make sure you have the requirements, the employees, the contractors, and an ad in the paper saying you need "to hire" new people to join this "fulfilling" business oppurtunity.
Ideas? - food restaurants, gas stations, convience stores, retailers/clothing, or maybe even something along the lines of educations. aka an art school, or dance school, or drama school. Something along those lines.
sex and drugs usually do well, but I wouldnlt recomment it. Rock and roll used to be o.k too, but has gone t*ts up now you can download stuff for free.
Yes, come up with the idea yourself first.
You can check this out I just started with them.

For one to start a business, one needs to know if there is a market for whatever he wishes to establish.If a market exists then you take your ideas to a bank but have a lawyer at hand.The latter is there to ensure that you don't enter into ambiguous deals with the bank.You should bear in mind that the prospective business will in the long run generate profit as banks don't entertain loss-making ideas.

WOW! What a question. What are you good at? Do you like dealing with people? What income are you looking to achieve? What capital do you have to invest? Do you have a spouse or significant other that will help you? Do you have any business experience? I would suggest checking out the opportunities that are online. HOWEVER, I would first read some guidelines and suggestions from the FTC (Federal Trade Commission). MOST online "opps" require a good deal of money.not to mention time. Some are NOT reliable or even legal. There are several articles and tips posted at www.futureoutlook.net.

FDor $14.50 to become a member with a 120 money back guarantee to get your money back, this is for people that are serious and who don’t want to be misled as we have tried many things and have found a company that has been around for 21 Years and pays you to advertise for them. My wife and I just started and are doing well. It is not an MLM company and no selling, no deliveries or stocking product. My wife’s aunt has been working with this Company (Melaleuca) for a little over 3 years and home schools 3 kids and makes $9,000 a month. It is a 500 Inc company and the CEO is on the U.S. Chamber of commerce board. I can arrange a web cast with my wife’s aunt for you and you can decide by yourself and WE WILL help you be successful. It is an honest Win Win.
If you want to see a web cast (presentation) from your home let me know and I will arrange it as that truly is the way to see all about Melaleuca. Have you heard of it. We have just gotten started with my wife's aunts help as it is a team effort and it is fun. Just a quick F.Y.I. 8 out of 10 people that see the web cast join the company and 95% of the people that join re-order product each and every month. Let me know when you are ready and we will set up the web cast.

Would love to share what I do from home. I am giving you my web site http://fhhc.stayinhomeandlovinit.com. , how ever it is a bit vague. I have a couple of options of how I can deliver the information one is on the phone and the other would be thru skype and a slide presentation.

If you are interested in setting up a time to talk please just email me. You can stop by my blog and it may give you a bit of info about me as a person rather than a computer on the other end .http://fhhc.blogspot.com
