Website Ideas

I don’t know about you, but I love to think about ideas for new products all the time. I really have some ideas that I’m excited about and really believe in. The problem is that I can’t find anyone else who sees what I see and shares my enthusiasm. I’m sure there are others out there that will like the idea and want to run with it as bad as I do, however. The trick is finding these people and networking with them. Hence, my new website idea. Create a website that fosters discussion about new ideas for inventions and helps bring together business men of like mind. Here’s how it would work. Someone would post their idea and simply sit back and wait for others to post a reply if they like the idea and are interested in partnering with the original inventor on the idea. Discussion about how to proceed and expand on the idea and turn it into a business would follow. There are some people that have no shortage of ideas, but often these same people have no clue about how to turn their idea into a business. Hooking up business people and venture capitalists with creative inventors would be your goal as the administrator and moderator of this community. That means you’d want to market your community to both inventors and business men. You might also want to attract patent lawyers as well. To start off your community you could start an adwords marketing ppc program to target keyword phrases from these three areas in an attempt to bring them together on your website. One thing that you could do to attract some attention would be to post free ideas on your website every so often to help get the creative juices flowing. And, to start you off please allow me to post a creative idea that to my knowledge has never really been tried. My idea for an invention that I will post here absolutely free in the open up for grabs to the first person who runs with it is… A remote control toy tank that vacuums. Why a tank? Because a tank is slow and that gives it time to clean the floor good. Why a remote control toy? Because moms need help from their kids with choirs. And, what better way to get the help than to make it fun for the kid. Take this idea and make it yours before someone else does! And, post it on your new inventors community website.

There has never been a better time for those that wish to work from home fulltime. Thanks to the internet and ever advancing technology, just about anyone who has basic computer skills and a healthy amount of ambition can work from their house. Not everyone is making a lot of money doing it, and many fail trying to do it, but an ever increasing number of common everyday folks like you and me are also becoming very rich doing it. What it really boils down to is a good idea, a good product or service to sell, and good old fashioned hard work. Some will argue with this last requirement and claim that they only work a few hours a week in their pajamas, but for the most part hard work is a necessity.

First off, you really have do some research to find a niche product or service that you really know well or really are enthusiastic about. You then need to research who else is providing this service or product and how you will provide it differently and serve customers in a unique and fresh way that none of your competition does. You don’t want to jump into a highly competetive area and try to compete with the big boys. You want to find something new and exciting and creative.

I wouldn’t start off worrying too much about setting specific goals with short timelines as this can often lead to disappointment and discouragement. There’s no telling how fast or slow your new business might take off, and I am a big fan of taking things day by day and expecting the most, but preparing for the worst. If you’re fortunate to have a little money saved up in the bank and you can go a year or two living off your savings without manking any money, this is ideal. It’s very hard to start making money right off the bat. You need some time to build up a reputation and some testimonials.

In the meantime, you need to consult with someone who has run a business before to work out a good business plan. Next, make sure you’re doing things right and obeying your local laws and get a business license. Once, you have a business license and you’re ready to tell the world what you have to sell, you need to then market yourself. I happen to be a big fan of online advertising. There are many great places to target potential customers online with next to nothing when it comes to upfront costs. Google Adwords is probably the best. Google only requires a $5 deposit and you can set a daily budget of less than $1 marketing on their search engine to whole world. This is a low risk and easy way to get into online advertising. Google makes it incredibly easy and to search for keywords and keyword phrases and to bid on a position in their result pages. This kind of cost effective and targeted advertising has never been available to the work at home person ever before in history. It’s really amazing how Google has made it possible and so very easy for you to connect with people all over the world who might be interested in the exact product of service that you are offering.

Finally, you need to just focus on providing the very best service to your customers. This may sound easy, but if you haven’t completed the above steps first you many never have a chance to serve anyone at all. Please don’t take any shortcuts and try to skip the initial research on a niche market and consultation with another longtime business owner. Take some time to really think things out and I’m confident you too can take part in the ever expanding work at home workforce. I sincerely hope you succeed and please don’t hesitate to add a comment to this website ideas blog if you have any questions.

Video posting websites are the big thing these days. After the success of Youtube, dozens of competetors have risen up and tried to attract some of the attention. If you’re looking for one of the hottest and fastest growing areas on the web today, this is it. Make a website where users can post their home grown videos and where other visitors can come to enjoy them. It’s a win win situtation for everyone involved. You can offer those who submit their videos a portion of the profits that you make from Adsense ads. This can all be automated via rotation of banner ad ids which takes all the hassle out of it. Many scripts offer this functionality already under the title of “revenue sharing”. There are also who scripts out there that advertise as “youtube clones”. Look on Ebay or other popular online web development forums and you can find a script that will get you up and running in no time. Of course, you could also have a programmer help you with this as well, but you should probably expect to pay a few hundred dollars in exchange for setting up a website like this.

After your video website is up and running, it’s really all about marketing it. You don’t have to spend any money doing this if you don’t want to throw too much into advertising consider articles writing, link exhanges, and forum signatures to advertise your new site.
