Middleman for a service that would connect men with women who would be intimate for an exchange of money
I've heard that this isn't easy.
I haven't created one personally, but if you're in a maker desert (where there isn't great access to spaces/people/tools to build and hack things), consider starting a maker space. I used to live a few blocks away from one in Seattle and it was awesome. Just a couple workbenches, a 3D printer, hand tools, wifi, and some electronic components can go a long way and get people in the community stoked. :)
I've thought of this many times - mainly cause I'm too poor to buy all the tools I want and even the tools I have I wish it were easier to lend them so they don't die of rust before their otherwise useful hours have been used up ...
But, I've always thought that this would need to be a government supported social enterprise, never that it could make enough money to pay for rent+wage(s) and equipment, upkeep, insurance, etc..
Anyone actually done this and willing to share some figures (privately if needs be)?
Thanks.
A lemonade stand!
Some university students did this in my city recently. I was disappointed that they overpriced it (1 euro for a cup of lemonade)
I can easily imagine a lemonade-stand lemonade that would seem underpriced at 1 euro; but obviously they didn't take that approach!
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I'm usually reluctant to share any numbers, but it's a few dollars per month per article (on average). It adds up over the years and has been very consistent, which is why I like the segment a lot. Unique views is not a useful number in my opinion, it's all about total revenue. I suppose it's the hyper-local aspect that drives up the ad bid prices on Adsense. The content is also a great example of "Evergreen Content"…

well, none of these are really implemented (yet) but here you go SW Only 1) An all-in-one transport app. You'd have a single credit wallet you could re-charge on a monthly/weekly/as-needed basis. You set in your profile for how long you are willing to wait for a ride(lets say +/- 15min), and how far are you willing to walk from your current location(lets say r500m) + other criteria if you please(like ferraries-only:)…

We did make a free beer mobile application in 1999, when cell phones had been still big, called Happy Hopper. The idea of the service was: You send an SMS to our server, we send you an SMS back to a pub in town, together with a riddle to solve in that pub. Solve that riddle and you get a free beer and the address of the next pub. The SMS also served as a ticket for the bus. Success of this service was based on workin…
That sounds great haha. I live in Ireland so it's bound to be popular!
