Topic: Money Making Ideas

Do you guys ever get random ideas about making money and then never fully realise them? If so, what are they?

I wanted to make a kids website with games. I don't know how I would make money though, which is all thats keeping me from that. It'd be about space explorers and I would make the games start with puzzles. They'd receive a mission, but it's encrypted and they had to solve the encryption to play the game. The only way I could think of making money is through merchadise, stand alone games, ads, or just hope to sell it to a company. It'd be easy for me to make, I just can't do art. =\

Another idea I had scarred me because no one thought it was a bad idea. It's a drive in movie theatre, that you can use to tailgate in the day time. Have a sports bar attached to it, hell if movie theatre's can barely survive o ntheir own, how would adding this not boost revenue? I looked it up, I can get a special beer/liqour license for $2k. As long as 51% of my profits is not beverage related. Only thing I need to figure out is how to show the screen in the daytime.

Oh my God, seriously Boyd I do this sort of thing all the time.  My girlfriend and I will have a beer and start conjuring up these revolutionary ideas.  Most of those ideas aren't even met with a second thought by the end of the night, but there are a few ideas that my gf had that could really take off.

Think a front loading washing machine.  You put your clothes in, it washes them/steams them or whatever.  Then in that same machine and same chamber the dryer kicks in and dries the clothes.  A washer and dryer in one device that is not a clunky washer/dryer combo...but one contained washing and drying cycle in the same unit without ever touching the clothes.

Patent fucking pending!
