Three Business Ideas

The first idea is a business that provides businesses with online training regarding Service Dogs in their business.  A surprising amount of businesses don’t know anything about service dogs or what the laws are, and either let in anyone who is brave enough to enter with their animal, or they deny access to all, including legitimate service animals.  There’s also plenty of misinformation flying around, regarding how to identify a legitimate service dog, and even what the laws state.  A service dog education company would implement an online portal to provide training for these businesses so that they are educated on these issues and more.  Videos and interactive media would be provided to educate on the laws, how to differentiate between legitimate service dogs and imposters, and other related issues.  Businesses could pay a monthly membership fee based on the size of the company for access to the content, which would be kept up to date on changes in laws, current issues, etc.  This information would be very useful for training new hires as well as keeping employees, managers and owners up to date.

The second idea is a business is to create an mmorpg where people who play it can pay money to contribute to the design of some aspect of the game, such as a particular non-player character’s appearance or a quest.  There will be a set genre and art style to the game, and players ideas will be molded to fit the look and feel of the game as much as possible.  Some things will be less money, such as naming an NPC that just stands there, or the color of the flowers in a particular vase.  Some things will be a bit more, such as contributing to the story in a quest or if the player wants a wearable item.  And some things will be the most expensive, such as contributing to the design of an end boss, or wanting to design their own house.

The third idea for a business is to create an app that compares prices on grocery items.  Users tell the app which store they are in, and can scan prices to contribute to the online database, or can scan prices to compare to prices in the area.  The app costs a little bit of money to buy, and comparing prices on one item can be paid for using points or using a microtransaction, at the user’s discretion.  The user can earn points by scanning item prices to be stored in the database, and it would take something like scanning 50 items to get one price comparison.  This would incentivize people to do the data collection for us, or pay a little bit of money.  It might even be feasable to estimate demand for certain prices from certain stores.  If people are wanting to just pay microtransactions in certain areas, special points could be earned for contributing price information, which can be exchanged for a fraction of the money collected from the microtransactions.
