Web Business Ideas

	The ideas listed below are all things I have thought about doing myself. I've created a page to explain each one. With a family and a demanding full-time job where sixty-hour work weeks aren't uncommon, a web business on the side would definately have to be a low stress endeavor! Ultimately, I just haven't been prepared to commit what time I do have available to any of these ideas. I have come very close on a few of them. For weeks at a time I would spend almost every waking moment thinking about how to develop a particular idea into an awsome money-generating masterpiece of pure web beauty. Occasionally I'd even dream about them. Sigh... I guess I need to get a life! I present these ideas here with the hope that someone might find something in one of them that excites them enough that they actually go for it. Of course some are better thought out than others - based on their potential to engage my imagination. I hope something here engages your imagination. That would make me really happy ... If you do use any of these ideas please with your story; I'd love to hear from you. ( Oh and don't worry, I won't make any claims on your fortune! ).


	Here's a showroom full of ideas - look'em over, kick the tires, take'em for a spin and see if you can make some $$$ : This section is very much a work in progress. I've included all the "coming soon" items here because I thought you might get some seed of an idea just from the brief descriptions of what I'm working on.

	Build a Webstore the Easy Way . . .	This is so easy everyone should do it. Join the ecommerce revolution in the next 15 minutes. You don't even need to have an existing website..
	Virtual Consignment Shop . . . coming soon	Sell other folk's stuff. Pass the orders on to them for fulfillment and a healthy commission. This idea has incredible potential.
	Develop a Niche Portal . . . coming soon	Become a gateway for those interested in a particular topic or industry. Great for selling targeted advertising.
	Promote your Local Business Community . . . coming soon	All around you are businesses big and small that would pay to be included in a website about their community. You'll be a local hero!
	Become a Web Designer . . . coming soon	Designers come in all flavours. You might not land a Sony or a IBM account but you can probably do better than many other "designers". (DesignStop.Com shows you the secret design weapons that make it easy to provide clients with "professional" results).
	Become a Web Consultant . . . coming soon	Provide services to others with less experience than yourself or develop your own niche.
	Develop Content / Sell Advertising. . . coming soon	Develop content in an area you already know something about, or that you'd like to know more about. Become a useful resource, promote it, and sell targeted advertising prior to being bought out by a content-feeding portal.
	Be a Yearbook Developer . . . coming soon	This one is unique! Schools still pay big bucks to have yearbooks published - Instead you could develop a system where instead of books they get cool multimedia CD's. Sell your "system" to hundreds or thousands of schools and meet lots of cheerleaders.
	Promote Favorite CD's, Books, or Games . . . coming soon	If Sir Robert Stigwood could successfully promote the BeeGees, then you can certainly promote your favorite band(s), author(s), or games. Amazon.com and others make it easy for you to cash in on promoting what you love most. It could be fun.
	Develop Virtual Billboard System . . . coming soon	This is something different. Imagine if you will... you're in the Doctor's waiting room; In the corner is a monitor presenting a stream of targeted ads delivered cheaply over the internet. You place those monitors. You sell that advertising. You give a BILLION dollars to the UN.
	Resell an Existing Product or Service . . . coming soon	All around you are businesses that have products or services that could easily be promoted & sold online but aren't. You could do it for them as their online dealer. The ball is in your court...
	Become a Researcher . . . coming soon	Focus your web browsing on the needs of a particular business or agency and you might find there's a service to be sold to them.

	Stay tuned; more business ideas to come. I'm sure I'll keep dreaming up new ideas but if you can help with any suggestions, please to get them to me pronto. Help is a good thing.
