I'll bet you didn't even put in half as much thought or effort as the other guy, or else you would have gotten started first.

As much as you are willing to lose.
>Best businesses to help with investing?
Nah.
>Good online investing websites
Nah.

>What would be a good amount of money to start off with?

For first time investing, something you can lose that wont affect you but still gives you some manuverability. $1000, I would say, but depends on your specific situation.

>Best businesses to help with investing?

I would recommend a deep discount brokerage. E-trade, Scott trade, robin hood, dont go to full service brokerages, they are on their way out.

>Good online investing websites? nasdaq.com, bloomberg.com.

I'd start of with reading some books like trade your way to financial freedom and how to make money in stocks. You can check investopedia for general information.

You should start really small, or just use a demo trader. You are probably going to lose a bit at the start.

>>1390101
You should take some basic accounting courses. If you want to start a business it is best to do it as young as possible. You have less to lose and a lot to gain.

I have one year left on college and I'm leaning towards thinking its not worth, especially if you want to be an entrepreneur. The state of academia in the US is honestly horrendous. The quality of schooling has declined massively the past two decades along with rising costs and market oversaturation of many degrees. Many schools today are content with being degree mills with the administration picking fat checks.

I genuinely believe that experience and a portfolio of quality work is going to be more important than degrees for our generation. If you want a decent econ degree that's going to cost you about 60k in tuition alone. That's 60k you could be putting towards your start up or investing.

Business school will give you a huge leg up in the corporate world. IMO the corporate world is depressing rat race right now and business majors can be douchy.

Still learn econ though. I learned it independently and I think it's been extremely valuable. You learn to look at markets in a different way than the purely business folks. Business school will teach you how to navigate the business world, but econ teaches you to very fundamentally understand why business exists in the first place.

That's just my 2c

>>1390227

To be clear I'm not recommending business school, just giving some thoughts on it since you want to do business.

If I were you I'd try to get an entry level job in whatever industry you want to start a business in. Work fucking hard and learn everything about it. Study econ on the side. Maybe learn some basic programming and how to throw together a simple website. In a couple years you might be in a great position for entrepreneurship.

Live in a college town with your college-enrolled friends if you can though. Networking in college is HUGE for any career and you won't want to be left out of the loop. Plus college is fun as shit. Party it up a bit so you don't have a midlife crisis right when your business is taking off and you have no time left to be young

Buy trumpcoin

Don't be such a beta and pick one, you cuck.

You're viral efforts will bear no fruit here.

English majors can't do math? How much of your monthly pay do you need for expenses?

>>1390072
assuming you have found a fairly cheap living space, reliable transportation, and are living on as few luxuries as possible, you should be able to pay it off within the next 2-5 years. If you aren't doing those things, try to save where you can. the bad credit rating should rectify itself if you pay off your debts on time for the next couple years.

Not lucrative at all for 10 years

Good luck

The meme market has been sated long ago. Facebook nerdy pages have been the shit like seven years ago. You're simply too late.

Try something smarter, something current. Pokemon Go specific, that sorta thing. It won't work out for you otherwise, no matter how much time or money you put into marketing and what not.

>>1390063
It's not memes and I think the market is not sated in my case because I'm doing it in a different language, where content is still lacking.

I get like 30 likes on a good day but I would rather get 300 a day.

Make a PPE ad and target places like Pakistan and Thailand for cheap likes.once you got a good amount of engagement ,can target USA.

How are you going to get users?

$1-3 dollars of monopoly money isn't really that appealing when you can't spend it on anything..

>>1390062
Site will be seeded with a lot of products, $1-3 monopoly money will get them 1 low end item.

There will be sponsored ads they can participate in to earn more monopoly money or they can list their own items. Some auctions for decent items Im hoping encourage this behavior.

Advertising to get users. I'm thinking of targeting subreddits, and competitor names on google adwords. Competitors that are no longer around but are still regularly searched for.

OP, this sounds like STEEMIT or LBRY.

>>1389873
Maybe it is a bit like LBRY, but the goal isn't to really make money off the content itself, just have a place for people to become more common for creative critique and personal posting of creative content.

That is where I have a hard time figuring out how to make money because I want people to freely post and be open about their content, while still owning it and getting criticism to support their future writings.

I actually got the idea after listening to some actor a few years ago talk about creative ownership and marketing it to Hollywood. Although the goal isn't to get recognized by Hollywood (or maybe I should revise my end goal to have potential here?), getting your work to the public is still essentially the same. I think of my concept more like practice than professional with an emphasis on communal input.

Ideally, I'd like this to be bigger than tubmlr or any blogspot post where people just dump walls of text.

But again, I have no idea how to make money off of this.

I work at Home Depot and I havent invested in anything yet.

What dream?

Why would you want to, terrible country

$160/week (before taxes)

I don't think you can afford a car anon.

>>1389808
Not even used? No monthly expenses there. At most I'd be paying for oil and maybe some busted tires, right? I would be screwed if it were a big problem that requires $300+ in repairs.

Only chance you have is buying a used car in cash really but insurance payments will kill you

Buy more real estate

Your family already has the background

Either real estate (investing, selling, flipping)

or contracting.

Both are killer right now and you can become great at it in less than 2 years.
