Turn the headlights on and watch them while someone tries to start it. If they go completely out when they try to start it, then you have a dead/bad battery or a bad connection at the battery or a bad battery cable.

If the headlights stay fairly bright when you hear the click, then yes it might be the starter, or a loose wire on the starter, or a bad ground to the starter(the starter may be loose).
