Unsecured Lines of Credit - I have found that building a strong business credit profile allows for many commercial credit lines that I don't have to personally guarantee. Within 3-4 months I have recieved credit lines under my business name with Home Depot, Lowes, Staples, and Dell Computers. I wish I knew about business credit when I first started my business.
Re: Launch of Social networking software package...Needs inp - Hi Ashish, I think you should market the unique benefits of your social networking software package. However, I'm still a little unsure of what that is exactly. You've mentioned before that it's "customizable", but what does that exactly mean? Can you give us an example? Moreover, what's the difference between downloading the software like MSN Messenger versus visiting a website like Facebook? How much space would your software take up? People are always skeptical about downloading and using new software on their computers in the event it might be spyware, etc. (especially since no one has the patience to read through a lengthy "Terms and Conditions of Use" page). Have you thought of ways to combat this?
Re: Is brainstorm exchange a fair exchange? - [quote="BuzzAroundBooks":22xku9we]Hi Barbara, This site looks very interesting, but is there any protection against intellectual property theft? And do you know what kinds of rewards are offered for contributing your innovative ideas?[/quote:22xku9we] HI, Kevin Both good questions, which I had asked myself. Their FAQ doesn't really give any answers. However, according to their website, everything posted there is given an intellectual copyright. However, in the Terms of Use, it does say that the companies who use your ideas aren't obligated to pay you anything, they just [i:22xku9we]may [/i:22xku9we]pay you. On whether or not they feel like it, I guess! And if you want to start your own "Brainstorm" - it costs $5.oo to set up. I'll have to do a bit of research before I do anything further with this site, I think...
Re: Who inspired you to start? - Hi Evan, I was inspired by Mr. Bill Gates ever since I was a student learning Computers. But I was motivated for Internet as my Business, when I read his book "The Road Ahead" in 1995. It was in this book that Gates laid out his vision of an interconnected world built around the Internet. Based on the premise that life will be transformed by the convergence of inexpensive computing and inexpensive communications, Gates drew from his experience at the center of the personal computer revolution to give insights on the growth, evolution and impact of technology. I had always looked up to Bill Gates as my idol. When I read this book, it made me more focussed on Microsoft and Internet, The Internet was one of the upcoming things in this time. So I took over to the Internet as my primary business. Regards,
Re: Video conference system for families living in different cou - 1) How much will someone pay for the service? 2.1) What costs are involved on the business end? 2.2) What percent on top of that do you think you deserve as profit? 3) How many people will sign up for the service? These three will give you a rough estimate of the value of your idea. use the equation below with respect to the questions above to figure out the value of your idea. ((1 - (2.1 + 2.2)) X 3) You have alread identified major problems for your idea -- you have competition that is free! Computers are easy to hook to televisions, and it is becoming easier at very fast rate. (For free stuff other than skype, look up NetMeeting if you have Windows XP.) The video conferencing systems do a poor job of creating the feel of a physical presence. Even high dollar systems with dedicated internet bandwidth and extremely nice tracking video cameras do a poor job, especially for long distance runs. I have the experienced the disappointing performance of some of these systems on our campus. Video can not recreate the connection felt when in the same room with another person. Step 1, Quickly and roughly calculate the cost of the system you propose. Step 2, Compare that with what you think someone will pay and the cost of your current compeition. Step 3, Go / No-Go.
