A medical device consultant business that will work based on success fees only. Not by getting paid large amounts up front, whether they succeed or not.

If there actually already are such business concepts - PLEASE let me know!



Also, on the fluffer theme - that is old news, I have a staff of twenty already. :D

Something that changes the BATFE (Bureau of Alcohol, Firearms, Tobacco, and Explosives) from a governmental department into a convienence store...

Televangelist. The current televangelist crop is aging, and in these uncertain times, there is certainly room for one more.

Religion has been the biggest business since the beginning of mankind! You only need a very small slice to become fabulously wealthy. And in addition to being a cash business, you can also get tax exemption! Once you get established, you can branch out with all sorts of products. I just saw this morning an infomercial for Miracle Water ($20 + $10 shipping and handling for 2 oz of "miracle water")! You get the women, too. Really, there are a lot of upsides to selling salvation.

so much for the concept of great minds on PPOT? ha, ha.

I thought this thread would be chalked full of new and great ideas?

How about building an internet subscriber base and then selling it for millions?
Seems Wayne is on track for that?

Yeah... I figured I'd have dozens of unique and profitable ideas to choose from by now. ;)

well, since 20 days,
some dutch student felt like getting rich while sleeping

litterally


he set up a website, with a webcam
and he's been in bed for 20 days

selling add space

so far he racked up 4000 euro's, not bad really

but i doubt it's sustainable

and i refuse to link his website, and give the lazy sod clicks that turn in addmoney

I believe a lot of trucking/shipping companies need to be put in contact with other trucking companies as a lot still have empty trucks on their way back home. Or to avoid two trucks with half loads from different companies doing the same run.

What we have now is a poorly organized group of independent efforts that ALL fall short of the mark. It's a 7 trillion dollar industry. The efficiencies of a comprehensive web based portal would be worth billions.

Legacy Systems and historical data are the bottle necks in creating what you want.

Store and broker all the MacDonalds fry oil for the biodesiel engines that will permeate our landscape in the future.

design a pill that tells your body to use the fat it has for energy rather than food. when you are thin, you take a pill that reverses that...or stop taking original pill.

you will be a billionaire. americans would rather pop the pill than work out.

Oooooh, this one I like. If you could have exclusive contracts with the fast food joints in town, then set up your own filling station, that could be pretty decent money.

Something has already been found that does that - US dollars.
