Relax. By the time you read this, it may have started. If there is no bubbling in the airlock, the usual reason is that you don't have a good seal and carbon dioxide is escaping elsewhere. Or the temperature may be too low, slowing things down. Only rarely is the yeast bad. Just be patient and, if there is no bubbling for a few days, check the specific gravity. If it hasn't dropped, pitch new yeast.

yeah not a lot of info to go off of. The type of yeast helps, temp you pitched at, You should look into making a yeast starter, I get a starter going 2-3 days before I brew then pitch at room temperature give or take a few degree, by making a starter the fermentation is practically instant. When I pitched with dry yeast I have had to wait a few days to get a good start. Don't give up if you screw up a batch, It Happens believe me.

possibly the yeast is neither there or not activated. be sure of the the temperature is right before and after.
