My lil cousin and her friends have a school project. They need to start thier own business and make it work for the rest of the school year. I told them to sell cookies or something easy like that but they want a web-site. Children of the 21st Century!!!

While that's a great idea for a school project, they might come into some problems. Nbr one, it's hard to sell something off the Internet if customers don't know who they're dealing with (like a name for the group of kids at least?). Nbr two....for the most part in order to sell off the Internet they must be at least 18 yrs of age unless the parents goes into this with the children and sets up a web domain for selling products. And they need to come up with a product they can sell easily and have "stock" of.
I'm with you, selling cookies or something easy..or perhaps a lawn care business or maybe if they're old enough to some degree and can type well.. set up a business where they type term papers for high schoolers and college students that do not have the time for typing...something where they have the software to check grammar and spelling.
Good luck to them!

They can get a free Web site at Yahoo:
http://geocities.yahoo.com/

But a Web site alone is not a business.

I don't understand your "List 10" question. Can you rephrase it?

Realistically you cannot run a business and then expect to remain annonymous to your customers. Children do not belong on the internet anyway.
