Business Opportunities - Hopefully Someone Does This

These are a few online business opportunities that I will not be trying, but I hope that someone will. The first comes from people's frustration with technologies like e-book formatters. They don't want to spend hundreds for the software, and even when they do, they have trouble learning to use it.

 

The solution? A service business that compiles e-books for people. You could even have clients e-mail a photo and story about each family member or friend, and make a photo scrapbook for them. No matter what the intent of the book is, the concept is that the customer can very easily download the book when done.

 

You would also host it on your website for a year or more, with the download link on a page that only the customer knows the address of. They can direct individuals to the page to give the book away, sell it, or otherwise, distribute it to whomever they wish. A larger contract may be doing the first high school yearbook in an e-book format (most likely already done by the time you read this).

 

New Internet Search Engine Suggestions

 

You might know that Google and other search engines give preference to websites which are older.

 

A solution is a search engine that gives highest priority to new web sites. It might also drop websites from the results once they're six months old, or possibly usually display those older sites on the bottom half of the page. The top results would always be the most relevant sites which are also the newest. This isn't intended to be better than existing search engines, but to serve a niche they do not serve.

 

Why is this a usable internet business idea? To some extent because it will be so different from other search engines that would draw in attention and usage. Possibly more significantly, many individuals would love to check frequently to see what new sites are out there covering "dogs," "backpacking," money making," "baby names," or whatever.

 

Another search engine I would like to see is one just for shopping. Imagine searching for "leather coat," and instead of finding sites that happen to use the words and others that know how to optimize, you obtained 80-word descriptions of various leather jackets, always with the price along with other important information. If done well, only fishing poles will be in the results when you typed in "I want to buy a fishing pole."

 

It could be a paid-inclusion search engine. The user just would like to purchase something, without the usual information sites in the results or "Buy leather on Ebay!" advertisements. Results might be randomly shown to start, with the ones getting clicks rising to the top of the results. This will be a democratic placement comparable to Google's ads, but with adequate info to make it more substantial than five to ten-word sales pitches.

 

Hopefully someone can discover business opportunities which they are interested in pursuing out of what I have stated above.

 

Zero Cost. Zero Obligation.
