  • Turn my personal book collection into a lending library for friends and family.  Charge them a nickel for each day the book is late.
  • Develop a website where users can import their iTunes XML file and run fancy reports on which artists, genres, etc. they like based on their star ratings.  Charge per file upload or a yearly fee for unlimited uploads.
  • In the summertime, hike a cooler of ice cold beverages to the top of your local mountain and charge $2 a pop.
  • A dead simple “I’m reading” widget in Facebook with a link to Amazon allowing me to earn sweet, sweet referral fees.
  • A wall calendar called “The Bikes of Mission Beach.”  Each month would feature a different type of funky beach cruiser and the people that ride them (this is more interesting than you might imagine).
  • A cheap but high quality real estate photography service.  Have you seen some of the pictures out there in the MLS?
  • A web identity photography package; basically, a way for people to get semi-professional photos for Match.com, Myspace, etc.
