If you like to think... if you believe you are a creative person, maybe you should harness all of that creative thinking energy and put it to good use. Come up with a creative, useful idea for a new type of internet business, a service that can be really useful for internet users. Most internet startups fail because of bad management, bad strategy, no more money to continue to develop the website and other things. For you to come up with a really good startup idea you have to really sit down and do a little brainstorming. So grab a pen and paper or open notepad, whatever you like, and begin writing down your ideas; find a niche, it can be about music, social networking, health, etc. If you can come up with a niche that's been untouched even better.
Think, something that can make it easier, more convenient for internet users, a useful resource, something cool. Your idea has to be viable, marketable, have a very large market audience. Of course to turn your idea into a reality you're either going to have to fund your internet startup on your own if you have the money; or contact a local angel investor. Angel investors look for startup companies or ideas that have high potential for success. The reason they're called angel investors is because they give you money for your business and you don't have to pay them back; what they do want in return is a piece of the company. Business Investors normally give you from $250,000 to $3,000,000... but they have to like your idea first of course. Take a look at some new internet startups here to get a better idea. You can submit your internet startup there to.
