College Business? What should I do or how should I market my business?

Question

I am going to be a freshman in college next year and I want to start my own business. I do not know what type of business I want to start but it must have low start up costs because I am practically broke. What is something that all college want or need that they would buy from me?

Answer 1

Since you're almost broke, I'd say you're looking at providing services -- tutoring... doing other kids' laundry for a fee... etc.

You might be able to afford small-scale product sales. Go get a bunch of pizzas at 11pm, and sell them in your dormitory for $2 a slice.
