Conceive #3.

(7 minute read.)

Two examples — and where ideas come from.

With regard to my earlier remark of 'they have genuine potential'… they do, considering each as a 'mini-biz'—fully in accord with my explanation of 'a project can be a component of a business, not necessarily a business itself'.

Potential options include…

  • Develop an introduction & outline guide ebook/site, with/without associated offers for appropriate products/services at appropriate outlets. Over 5-10 years, undertaken appropriately, each project could generate £150k. So it's useful 'background activity and revenue'.
  • Sell that concept/initial site, for a relatively lowish fee—perhaps £5-10k. Again, useful 'background activity and revenue'.

I could probably come up with 50 such examples (but I won't)… so yeah, it's worth doing.

Books and blog-type websites are easy to do, relatively straightforward and simple…

Grab a bunch of information, assemble, edit, and it's done.

Then release that info… either all together at once as a book, or slowly through a blog-type website.

But of course making the damn thing is perhaps the easiest part… it's the marketing to make it commercially effective where things fall apart or fly. And so, releasing things early as a 'mini-biz' makes sense.

Additionally, in the past twenty-five years I've done more-than-ok financially on the sale of domains which haven't been on my 'active list'.

I'm not trying to sell anyone on my thoughts here, simply outlining how my head works, with two examples which I consider to be more of a weakness rather than strength.

Anyway, let's please move on.

Oh, almost forgot… something worth mentioning, albeit a tad precious and woo-woo…

Whether generating ideas or considering what to do with 'em and how to do it (development, strategy and suchlike) etcetera, although of course able to sit down and 'work on demand' I often prefer not to… particularly with the 'creative stuff'.

The way I see it is… I get given ideas, by the universe.

And so I'll perhaps/likely also get given the know-how about what to do with 'em. And (in being happy to wait) I do, albeit perhaps some considerable time (maybe months) later… often at the most inconvenient times: perhaps while driving, eating, watching tv, or sitting in the garden, etcetera.

As I opened with… uncomfortable with and embarrassed by the naivety of much of what's here, I'd previously removed most of it, then subsequently rethought and re-added.

Anyway… now, let's move on. Hopefully, this three-piecer has been 'illuminating' but not too self-indulgent.
