Previous Lives: High school students
Big Break: Teenagers at the dawn of the social media era
Bottom Line: MyYearbook.com has, at times, grown faster than Facebook or MySpace
Potential Income: up to $300k per year or more

Frustrated by a lack of social media sites strictly for teens, these three siblings from suburban New Jersey hatched a plan around the family dinner table three years ago to put high school yearbooks online. Catherine, the youngest, was only 16 years old at the time. Yet she convinced her older brother Geoff, a 26-year-old Harvard grad, to put up $250,000 from his own fledgling online business — and myYearbook.com was born. read all »

Here’s Shoemoney’s number one on his list of “Top 10 Worst Ideas To Make Money.” I think this idea actually has some legs and could still work with a different spin. What do you think? Anyway, here it is:

I want to purchase a Gas Station and Give away Free Gas

The catch is like the gas would come out really slow and also you would be limited as to how much you could get per week. (Like max 50 gallons a week).

How do I make money ? EASY - I would setup paintball guns around the gas station with webcams that would let people from the internet take shots at the people filling up there cars with gas. read all »

Eric Nakagawa, a software developer in Hawaii, posted a single photo of a fat, smiling cat he found on the Internet, with the caption, “I can has cheezburger?” in January, 2007, at a web site he created. It was supposed to be a joke.

Soon after he posted a few more images in the same vein: cute cats with funny captions written in a silly, invented hybrid of Internet shorthand and baby-talk.

Then he turned the site into a blog, so that visitors could comment on the postings. What happened after that would have been hard for anyone to predict.

“We just thought, O.K., they’re funny,”Nakagawa says. “Suddenly we started getting hits. I was like, where are these coming from?” read all »

Business Idea: Sky Walk
Description: Tethered balloon rides with a romantic view above the city
Start-Up Cost: $15k - $100k
Potential Income: a whopping $25,000 per month with one balloon

I remember racking my brain for ideas when I wanted to ask my wife, Emily, to be my bride. The way that I wanted to propose — before I found out the extent of her fear for heights — was to take her up in a hot air balloon and get all of my college friends to spell out “marry me” on the ground with their bodies.

The problem was that every scheduled balloon ride is at the mercy of the weather. If a storm comes it’s a no go. Not to mention that the balloonists can only plan routes over certain areas, which excluded my campus fly over idea.

So, long story short, I proposed to her by the lake on a clear sky day with our feet where she wanted them — on the ground. But the whole “hot air balloon thing” did give birth to another great idea and here’s how it works: read all »
