Question looking for ideas

I'm a penny-less 18yo guy looking for ideas for a business that i could start or some other way to make money as all my ideas take knowledge and funds i don't have at this time maybe some one on here can point me in the right way. i was thinking of some thing related to the internet as i am chained to my computer almost every waking moment.

Start by figuring out what your passion is.

Once you're working on something that you are passionate about, you'll have no problem saving up money or doing whatever it takes to succeed.

I agree with Spear above: Find your area of interest.

Then, start a blog about the subject. That's the most inexpensive type of start-up I know of.

I am the same age as you and can offer some advice.

Similarly to what BBlackwood said, find something that drives you. This can either be the business that you're trying to get involved with or the incentives/rewards.

Any other advice is not relevant at the stage which you're at. Start searching for what you want to get involved in, and just TRY.

Ask yourself what you can offer better than anyone...or almost anyone. There's your business. If you really can't think of anything, you have to start the process of developing that skill. It may take a long time, but you can do it! If you can manage to spend 10,000 hrs doing something that is of value to someone else, whether it be computer programming or playing the piano, you stand a good chance of making money off of it.
