Hey Graham,

I agree that creating your own “virtual inventory” to be a great way to start a new business venture since your product can be unique and at a low cost. I really enjoy your site (I’ve already bought 3 pages) and I wish you and MillionDollarWiki.com continued success!

Thanks Stephen,
I’m wondering if anyone has any good ideas for other virtual inventories…

Well they aren’t going to share them here certainly!!!

But that’s why subscription sites are great if you can cover a topic you know very well - and have the determination to get it to work.

I have always thought myself to be quite creative, but when it comes to things like a virtual inventory, I think I need to open my mind even further, because so far I can’t leave the realm of the non-virtual :) Anyone have some mind exercises or anything I could use to expand my creativity to a new level?

Well, Most people have trouble visualizing something that isn’t physically there…especially something which hasn’t been done before. We are all too used to the convention of selling a physical good or service for payment, but selling wiki pages or pixels seem way out there.

I believe every person has good ideas within them, however, there are many factors which prevent them from making it a reality. Whether it be lack of technical knowledge or money, people need to start by taking a leap of faith and go with their gut sometimes.

Agree with Stephen. I have quite a few ideas. Would love to work with any one intrested. I feel there are many peices to get the project going, make it successful and get it done. The press makes the story as it is easy to do kind of stuff, then only people lookat.

All the different peices I can think of are:
Good idea like pixel or wiki,
Technical aspects of getting the site done, marketing,
Public relations,
Existing user interaction
Long term view of site usage and revenue model.

@siva - what you’re talking about is not an idea, it’s just a cheap ripoff. If anyone has a great idea like this wiki, then why share it?
