Default What business?

ok here on this forum we have some great business people, we all run our own or help in a family business or assist other business people.

If you could get together with a few of the other members here what business do you reckon you would start that would be profitable for all?

Oh, that's easy to answer.

I'd love to dream up a really unique viral web 2.0 business and sell it to Google or Microsoft for a few billion $$$$ a few years down the line

Given the personalities and skills here I would say a one stop shop for internet use, they would never have to log out. From social networking to jet ski's, business cards to tarot readings, it would be like a UK hub - they would never need google again. Sounds silly but it works in my head.

I am not sure about this but could visulize a strong forum ,havine a kind of online shopping mall where each shopkeeper rented there shop from the forum ,or the forum manegement was involved in a profit sharing scheme.

With the right manegment and proper SEO.could be a winner for all parties, as the forum clout would make the SEO for each individual business an easier proposition.?

Scarily profitable works for me, Alvin!

Actually that same thought - of an online products and services mall made up of honest business folks like ourselves - crossed my mind as I was reading through this thread.

yep as you know I did this with with one of my sites and has worked out fairly well for all parties on a smallish scale ,so a site with say 30,000 visitors a day could be a very nice proposition.
