Starting Up

I notice that everytime some1 comes to the forums and asks what business can they start or which is the easiest, the advice offered is to go with a hobby or something you enjoy. I dont really like too many things. However, I like computers but I don't know what I could do with this. Can any1 help me out? Thanks.

Im not 100% sure on that.

But if you offer something cheap enough and have a good customer relationship you will do well in this sector.

A few other ideas came into my head:-
>Make A Forum On Computers - like this one but you could get myBB a free forum tool that is virtually a clone of this forums software.
>Make A Computer Review Website - review pcs.
>Sell Computer Products Online/Offline - ebay, your own website

Contact manufactures of the products, or the distributors.

When I wanted to import car related items, I went to all the outlets in town, with pen and paper, and went around the products I wanted to sell and wrote down the manufacure and distributor (which is often on the back of the packaging)

From there I found their websites and contacted them.

Of course if you want cheap asian products you could search alibaba.com, but beware of scammers!

You don't always have to go for something online and you don't have to go for the business that will make the most money. You could do a local computer repair or personal websites for local people.
