I know there have been thousands of knock offs of Bitcoin but I want to make my own coin. I have some ideas which will hopefully make it a distinct coin and a legit coin which will actually be worth something. Unfortunately, I don't have the skills as far as programming and other things to make it and I was wondering if anyone was willing to help
Don't bother. You have to have a team and deep pockets and/or a lot of free time on your hands. Distinct and legit sounds all well and good but it is not enough. Are you prepared to write a whitepaper explaining, in detail, the technical aspects of the coin?
That is step 1.
If you do a premine on an ICO then it will be labelled a scamcoin out of the gate.
