Is this a good business idea?
Hi. I'm 15 and I want to start my own online company. I want to make real money ($100-$300 a day), not kid money. I don't want to start an affiliate marketing business, but I want to start an online service company of some sort. Reseller hosting is a very saturated industry so here are my other ideas.
1. A digital music distribution/marketing company. There is a site called Tunecore which lets people sell their songs on iTunes. But for my company, we would find new bands/artists and provide that service for them. We would also provide a wide variety of marketing services. We could build band websites and market them on Facebook and other social networking sites. I could probably charge $100 for the site, and $70-$150 per album placed on iTunes (they would keep 100% royalties, they only pay the one time fee).
2. I found a free web script that lets you create a website where bands/artists can create profiles, share their music, and listeners can rate, share, chat, follow, etc. It is sort of like purevolume.com, but aiming at a smaller niche of new bands and artists. We would make money from ads and affiliate products :).
3. I've been looking, and they dont have websites that review bands. It might take a long time to write reviews though.
4. A website where people can buy and sell websites/domains. Like flippa.com, but I'm positive the industry is not really saturated, and I could make some money. I would charge a fee if the transaction is successful.
5. Lots of phone review sites go a lot into depth about phones, that it sometimes can be confusing. I have gotten a lot of feedback from elders saying that people in the phone stores are useless. I was thinking of making a site that reviews cell phones, but just gets to the point (who the phone is for, best features, pros, cons, final recommendation).
What other things could I do to make a lot of money ($100-$300 a day) online? Are any of my ideas good? Please don't say I should't post ideas on YahooAnswers, because i just want some feedback. I really want to know how to make a lot of money online.

Which services could I offer online?
Hello. I am 15. I would really like to start making a lot of money (50k-100k a year) online. I'm really clueless, because after a few years of research, there have been so many ideas thrown at me. I'm just looking for the best one. Here are my ideas (please don't tell me I shouldn't post ideas on yahoo, I'm just looking for feedback).
1. A digital music distribution/marketing company. A service called Tunecore lets people sell music on iTunes and other stores. We would find new bands/artists, use the Tunecore service (and eventually/hopefully partner with Apple to sell directly without Tunecore) to sell their music on iTunes. We could charge a $100 fee per album, which lets them keep 100% of the royalties earned. We would also offer marketing services such as building a basic promotional website, social network marketing, etc.
2. I found a free script online that lets you make a website where bands/artists can share their music, and listeners can share, listen, rate, comment, follow, etc. We would use Adsense and affiliate marketing to make money.
3. A cell phone review site that reviews phones without all of the detail. The reviews would be straight to the point just giving a small description, pros, cons, and recommendation. This site would be for people who don't want to know all of the specifics.
4. A web marketing company. We would promote small businesses by offering websites (made with webs.com), and social media marketing. But would people really pay me to set them up a facebook account?
Are any of these ideas good? Do you guys have any other possible online company ideas that could make me money. Reseller hosting is popular, but very populated. What services could I provide online to make a lot of money?
Thanks.

5. Currently, there are no sites that review guitars and guitar equipment. I could start a website, and make money by selling affiliate products and ads.
