basically, iam in young engineers at the moment, and well the ideas the group have are well..not that good.. i have lots of ideas like a cycle pub crawl, or cycling tours..but apparantly there too difficult?
so is there anything that people would like, or if someone has an idea that they think would be pretty cool, iam willing to give up my share of profits if we use your idea.
if anyone has any ideas or anything like that, or even thoughts you have had that you think you would like to see, then please say on here, i accept all ideas
and yes i know this is blatantly 'stealing' your ideas but dammit i need help!

What are you trying to achieve? A bit of background will help.

Using capital letters would help too. I find stuff hard to read without.  What is this group? What age range? How many? more info please.

Am I understanding correctly?
Are you asking for a simple idea that will make money?

Well it depends also on the skill set of his group. There are loads of ways to make money if you have the skills.

True, I was thinking along the lines of a teleportation device.

Is there a cycling theme by chance?
Did you say you're engineers?
Sorry, not being sarcastic but it was sooo hard to read the OP

I'd like something that deposited £500 in my bank account every day.
Oh, um, that's not the sort of thing you're after, is it?

right, theres about 9 of us, about 16-17 years old, basically young entrepreneurs is a scheme run in lots of schools for kids to try out being a business, problem with us is that we cannot seem to think of many idea's, well we have a couple like cycling pack, gardening pack, custom printed t-shirts and so on, i personally think that all these have already been done, i know alot of people on these forums have many ideas and so thought it would be a good(ish) idea to ask on here i very much doubt we will be able to create a brand spanking new thing that will sell like wildfire, but if theres anything some of you have thought, why isnt there one of these, then i would like to know as it would help us alot if we got a product that we can sell

I've an idea, it'll work as well + you can get social enterprise funding from the council/government. I know it works as I've done it before. Not massive amounts of money at first but if you've got the time to work on it (I didn't) you'll be on to something big.
My fee is 20%, PM me if you're interested.
edit: 20% once you're making a profit, not of the initial funding etc

They do, it is just that some don't believe it is important. Maybe he is texting from a non-smartphone. Back to the point. What start up capital do you have? What time commitment? Hand car wash is a good way to earn if you are not afraid of hard work. Shoe cleaning service also works. Making wax candles if you have an artistic team. Products supporting bands/pop stars could also work if you are in a school. Try visiting a promotional goods website for ideas. Potpourri is easy to make but you need a distribution channel. CCp.s. If you are not on a phone please use capital letters.

A serious breach of netiquette there.  Seriously, would it kill you to use correct punctuation and grammar? Capitalising letters really doesn't take much effort - nor does using apostrophes where appropriate.
