    I am a high school student with no money and enough skills to get buy. I think i have made every mistake someone can make with early online businesses. So here is my next idea which will not cost me anything and i wondering if you think it would work.

    My idea is to make websites out of pre-made templates that are free online.

    These websites would be normally short, only about 5-10 pages. They would be for a single person, band, or very small business. They would also be very cheap too because it does not take a lot to make it, yet the average person would not know how to fill it in.

    Do you think it would work?

    It could work but with offering such cheap services it might be allot less profitable than you think.

    But yet again many people are not wiling to learn how to create a website and many just want a simple one

    look at the marketing aspect first. You have to find out how to gain customers to get any business running i SAY LEARN HOW TO WRITE GOOD ADS AND MARKET A BUSINESS BEFORE STARTING YOURS

    you talk about not making any money, yet if i were to charge like $50 for a website, its all profit and i can probably get it done in a day or two.

    I understand what you say about marketing

    No way man.
    Its totally flawed idea.
    Nobody will buy a site which is created from free template.
    They are not newbies.
    They know where to get free template and setup website,why do they need to pay you?

    Accept that the people that i will deal with will have no clue how to or find any of this. It is meant for bands or other single people needing to get there name out there. IE: Actor/Band/Home Business

    it will be all newbies, it will not be done on dp, seeing how most of us here are web masters
