possible money-making idea

Post Reply New Topic

I have an idea for an internet site that does not yet seem to exist and might get lots of hits. However, I have no business sense, no idea how to build or maintain a website, and no understanding of legal matters (e.g. how to obtain a patent or copyrights for my idea). I'd like to discuss my idea with a few other Aspies who possess the qualities that I am lacking, on the off chance that my idea is a good one and we could make some money with it.

(More generally, an Aspie-only business that generates fresh internet content could be a source of income that would work for us, as not too many unpleasant social aspects would be involved.)

I have a decent business ethic. If you want my opinion send me a message and i'll see if I can help you or see if i know someone that could.

All I do is help people start and run businesses, most of them aren't aspies (I am). I'm going to tell you the same thing I'd tell them (NTs) in this situation; do your own due diligence. Actually, you first need to refine your idea and pitch; you won't attract interest being so vague. It almost sounds like you're using the Stone Soup approach to launching a business. Sure you could get lucky and fall into skills and personalities that mesh with yours but if they're skilled, why would they partner with you? Iow, what are you bringing to the table? How is it advantageous for them to partner with you? If it's vision and organization, you're back to my second point (refine your idea etc). Otherwise, like attracts like. Other parties, being competent, most likely know other competent people with skills they lack so this venture wouldn't attract them as they have other options.

Fwiw, I think the most successful ventures are gestated in passion. What's yours? If you were independently wealthy and didn't need to work, how would you spend your time? What would you do even if you weren't paid for it? Maybe some of your answers are there. Alternatively, you may find someone who's already on the path and link up with them -but then you're back to defining the assets you're bringing to the enterprise.
