Which services could I offer online?
Question by Mason Goldberg: Which services could I offer online?
Hello. I am 15. I would really like to start making a lot of money (50k-100k a year) online. I’m really clueless, because after a few years of research, there have been so many ideas thrown at me. I’m just looking for the best one. Here are my ideas (please don’t tell me I shouldn’t post ideas on yahoo, I’m just looking for feedback).
1. A digital music distribution/marketing company. A service called Tunecore lets people sell music on iTunes and other stores. We would find new bands/artists, use the Tunecore service (and eventually/hopefully partner with Apple to sell directly without Tunecore) to sell their music on iTunes. We could charge a $ 100 fee per album, which lets them keep 100% of the royalties earned. We would also offer marketing services such as building a basic promotional website, social network marketing, etc.
2. I found a free script online that lets you make a website where bands/artists can share their music, and listeners can share, listen, rate, comment, follow, etc. We would use Adsense and affiliate marketing to make money.
3. A cell phone review site that reviews phones without all of the detail. The reviews would be straight to the point just giving a small description, pros, cons, and recommendation. This site would be for people who don’t want to know all of the specifics.
4. A web marketing company. We would promote small businesses by offering websites (made with webs.com), and social media marketing. But would people really pay me to set them up a facebook account?
Are any of these ideas good? Do you guys have any other possible online company ideas that could make me money. Reseller hosting is popular, but very populated. What services could I provide online to make a lot of money?
Thanks.

Go with the basic cell phone idea but branch out to other things that are not currently covered online (phonescoop and 15 other sites are already doing the phones). You could write about warranties that are sold at stores when people buy a new tv set. You could analyze the chances of using the warranty compared to the cost.
Or compare skateboards. Have the manufacturers send you their latest boards so you can compare them.
