Good Business Ideas

[MBP123]

Anyone ever thought of a really good business model? Not just like an invention or "opening up a bar in a college town" but something really neat and innovative? I was looking at some websites that have ideas, and its amazing how reading about one idea leads to another so quickly.

Better question: if anybody thought up something that good, would they share it with everyone on a forum?

 

[MBP123]

why not? maybe they dont have the resources to pursue it or something like that. i need to think of a good concept for one of my classes, and just thought some people would like to bounce ideas off eachother

I have a great business plan: start threads on online forums and try to take credit for other people's ideas

An online auction house that takes an unfair cut of the money and encourages fraud might be a hit.

do they not teach students how to think for themselves in school anymore?

You know, I don't think they do, they seem preoccupied with banning certain clothes and buying them all iPods and PSPs

I have no idea how this would work, but it seems good:

With a lot of heavy shopping bags in a trolley, it is awkward to lift each one out of the trolley and then put them into the car boot. Imagine having one edge of a trolley openable, with a simple lock, and just dragging the bags into the boot, possibly with rollers on the 'floor' of the trolley...

I came up with this around age 12 BTW

and just dragging the bags into the boot,

I love the british form of english...

as i've seen in my kids school, not really. So it's up to my wife and I to train them in all matters involving being a gadfly

What do you call it?

Don't the Americans call it a trunk? Boot is so much better

I'm hoping to start my own business here in the UK pretty soon (finishing uni in the next few months), so I have plenty of ideas, some of them with serious potential, I hope.

Seriously, MBP123, I doubt you'll get anyone talking about actual potential business ideas on a forum. You're just inviting comments like the ones above. Sorry. That said, psychofreak's has potential

I have an idea that makes $10 just for mailing an envelope.

Send me $10 and I'll show you how to do it.
