HEY GOYS EMIL HERE. Sorry for not providing enough info, really stupid of me. Here's the description: BizTeen.net - Where Teens Start Businesses ---------------------------------------------------------------------- What is the problem? It is "frustrating" and "difficult" and "time consuming" and "not free" to try to meet teens who are like minded and want to start a business togther, further more, there is no "singl…
I don't think that's a good idea: The social network market is mostly satiated and teen entrepreneurs are quite rare. They also tend to have rather small budgets, so it would be quite hard to get any money out of it.

First impressions are important, small details like fixing typos are low-hanging fruit.

I think you should drop this paranoid fear that someone will steal your idea, you'll get a lot more information coming your way. You can use this feedback to really build something people want. What's the added value you are providing? Why is it a startup and not a website? Why not use ning.com or lovdbyless.com? What is the revenue model? How will you attract people? There are not many of people in that category, es…

- Work on the basics. Learn to read and write fluent English (this is necessary even if English isn't your native language, at least if you want to be based in the US). Learn some programming, learn some web development, get some real world experience. Get a programming job somewhere (preferably web programming), or work on an open source project.
- Saying things like "What is the problem?", with a question mark, makes it sound like you're doing a homework assignment in high school, and that's an instant giveaway that you don't have any experience. Real business plans- in fact, real documents of any sort (see, eg., Viaweb's business plan at http://www.paulgraham.com/vwplan.html)- aren't written by going down a list of pre-prepared questions and answering them in sequence.
- The most important component of a business isn't the idea; it's the ability to adjust what you're doing, so that you can succeed even given a bunch of disasters (and there will be a bunch of disasters). This requires flexibility and determination first and foremost.
- Cut down on typos! Nobody will see what your ideas are if they're in documents full of typos (trust me on this). Online spellcheckers are readily available (http://www.spellchecker.net/spellcheck/).
- Is your figure of "400 million" worldwide? A majority of the world's population still doesn't have Internet access. A more realistic figure would be thirty million. And, why restrict yourself to teenagers? Why not everyone?
