Business Strategies for a New World

I don’t know about you, but my biggest problem with projects or papers, whether school-related or just for fun, is coming up with an idea from scratch. Sometimes it’s just so hard to find that inspiration that you need, especially when you’re faced with a deadline. So, what if there was a way for you to save hours of laboring over finding that one great idea?

“Inspire Me” could take care of this problem. But how would it work? Easy. Download the software from its website, type in what you need the idea for, plug in your headphones, and let your mind wander. The program would record your random thoughts, and bring them together in a way that is more productive, leaving you with your own great idea that you didn’t even know you had!

Not only would “Inspire Me” help you create great concepts from your own unorganized thoughts, but it would also allow people to give feedback on these ideas, if you wanted. When you downloaded the program for the first time, you would have to create an account that you would log in to whenever you used it. That way, you can keep track of all your ideas, and other users could comment on them and help make them into even better ideas; this part of the website would basically work in the same way a blog or social networking site, like Facebook, does.

The question is how to market this product with no funding. I feel that the fact that the program’s site would be based off of a social networking platform would make it very easy to find a solution to this dilemma. Most people who would use it (and take the time to register an account for it) would most likely use other popular social networking sites, so naturally “Inspire Me” would create a Facebook fanpage, and hopefully word of mouth would be help spread the word. It could also have a Twitter account, and as incentive to get people interested in user’s ideas, the most popular idea of the day could be tweeted. In order to make a profit, the website would use advertisements in the same way that Google does (and we all know how successful that method is).

While this concept may seem farfetched with today’s technology, but with the ongoing advances that we are making, something like this could very well be possible someday in the future.
