Your Questions About Business Online Backup

Ruth asks…
Which website idea should I pick?
Im 13. I want to start an online business over the summer. I want to make six or more figures a year. That might sound crazy since im only 13, but it is my goal. I have money to start the business, and my grandparents might invest. Coding will be done by my cousin who is at RIT for web design and programming, or I could hire a web design firm, or hire someone from Elance. I have a few ideas, but Im not sure which one I should do. Which one is the most profitable?
1. A website where users can submit original songs and other users can listen, rate, comment, share, and chat. Users can also create a profile page and keep track of there favorite music, find new band members in the band member finder, and post info. I would make money by selling ad space, and I could make money by creating a pro membership level if the site becomes big enough. I would either hire a web design firm (although i think it could cost $100,000, in that case, i wont hire a web design firm), a coder from elance for a good price, or have my cousin code it. I love this idea, and it doesnt have that much competition other than purevolume.com.
2. I would sell musical instruments (bass, guitars, drums, dj and lighting, vocals, keyboards) on my website. i would buy them wholesale and sell them for a bigger price. I would then have the wholesaler dropship to the customer. There is a lot of competition, though. Try Sam Ash or Guitar Center or musiciansfriend.com.
3. A job search website. This could be a site where the employers post wanted ads and people can apply for each job. I would charge the employer a comission to post the ad.
4. A online backup website. This is where customers can back up important data such as files, photos, music, etc. to a sever. I would purchase www.remote-backup.com’s virtual hosting set up for $500. it allows you to sell their customizable software to your customers and access the administrative stuff from a central account on their site. So I could have a plan for 5gb of storage and sell it to a customer for $25 a month. thats around $300 a year from only 1 customer. remote-backup only charges me the once for the $500, and charges me $1 for every customer i get and then $.25 for every gb they use. Many people are backing up now, so this could be profitable. Although there is mozy and snapfish and other companies already around.
4. This is a website where people can post and sell and buy websites. Like sitepoint.com although. This could be a good site though since sitepoint does not focus on buying and selling sites although that is one of their services. This could be profitable by either charging a commision and/or selling ad space.
5. This last idea is a little weird. It is a site where one user starts a debate by putting in two sides such as mcdonalds vs burger king. Then other users choose which side they want to be on, and debate. Each comment they make would be on either side mcdonald or burger king depending on what they chose. and they have an argument. This could be useful in many ways. example, if someone wanted to buy something such as a computer, and they were stuck on mac or pc, they could create an argument mac vs pc and have great answers giving reasons why they should buy mac or pc. based on personal preference, the person could decide on mac or pc based on certain comments. This site could also be used for fun reasons to see which of something is better or what not. I would make money from selling ad space. This would be a fun site and i would hire an elance person or my cousin to build the site.
I like a lot of these such as the music sharing site, debate site, backup business, job posting site, but im not sure which one is good.
Could any of these ideas make me six or more figures a year? Which idea is better? Which idea should I do? Which idea is the most profitable?
Thanks.
(even if you dont think any of these are good, which would you choose if you had to?)
Thanks again.

New it Business idea?
i have an idea to creat a business from home it would include an online store for computer upgrades, online storage and backup facilitys including email backup that can be done over the net to restore your computer, direct updates to programs also a facility to buy and have a new copy of windows installed over the net for you and also the ideah of fone and direct remote assistace and haveing the ability to have technitions on call to answer and guide to repair problembs from their own home my question is do you think this is a good ideah and would you pay to use a service like this

Jere answers:
Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. No wonder on one has answered your question…your description is a bit confusing. When describing a business idea you should be able to describe your business in two sentences or less. The less the better; people just don’t have the attention span to absorb the “handful of a description” that you’ve attached to your question.
What really matters is not what people think about your idea as much as how much faith you have that your idea can work. If you really believe in your service or product then you’ll do what it takes to see your ideas come alive. Period.
On a side note…business ideas will come and go; but it’s the people who follow through on them that are successful. So even if your idea isn’t clear; make it clear by doing extensive research. See who’s doing what your’e doing and if you’re entirely new to being an entreprenuer then I suggest you start doing a lot of browsing on line on how to start and run a successful business. Another tip: take seminars and network…and totally immerse yourself in what you want to do.
Otherwise your’e idea will be a hot air ballon. Ideas are great but it takes action to get them done.

Jere answers:
You can’t just go and buy ANY battery … (well I suppose you can … But that’s just stupid) it has to be one that FITS your laptop … And they come in different “cell” sizes … The more cells the longer the charge lasts … You bought a fairly basic laptop … 2hrs battery life is about average
