Hardly an new idea for a business but as spammers constantly evolve their techniques and the technology they use to get their spam into our email inboxes, onto our blogs, forums and guestbooks there will be a continued and growing demand for good spam filtering/blocking technologies.
We’ve put together a start at this - currently not much [...]

Not my business idea today, but one I came across while browsing the web I found it on Peter Bowyer’s weblog here’s an extract:

Here’s a business idea for the budding entrepreneur: a computer book version of DVDS365, ScreenSelect, Video Island and Mailbox Movies (flat-rate DVD rental sites). There’s enough interesting computer books coming out at present [...]

As we’ve got a kid on the way I find myself having to think of babies and the experience of being a parent and one thing that I’m sure all new parents do (perhaps too much) is try to record everything their new baby does.
I’ve also been reflecting on my own childhood recently having described [...]

A few years ago when I ran a business with my brother we spent some time looking for reasonably priced offices in Wiltshire. Our rough budget was around £300 per month all in - after all we only wanted an office for the two of us, a couple of computers and room for the odd [...]

I came across a new site today (ReviewMe) that provides a way for bloggers to moneterise their sites. It’s a nice business idea that I’ve not seen before. Essentially a site owner can visit the site and pay for a blogger (or a set of bloggers) to review their website, product or service on their blog.
It’s [...]

Why is it that so many small businesses waste money advertising in the likes of the Yellow Pages? I’m not suggesting the Yellow Pages or other directories are a waste of money, what I mean is they buy the space in the directory and then put in a terrible advert that is unlikely to make [...]

The barriers to entry for this one are not just high, they’re astronomical! But with current “tourists” paying $20M per seat - and the fact they’re apparently fully booked until 2009 there is definately room for growth and some significant profits.
No doubt thats why Richard Branson has been working with the X Prize winners to [...]

It seems that we in the UK have gotten ourselves further and further into debt. The number of repossessions, iva’s and bankruptcies is growing at an alarming rate. So how are we all going to service this debt? Well debt consolidation is one option. One that seems to be popular with many as they increase the [...]
