I am looking for challenges and risks associated with setting up and operating an arts & crafts consignment store. I will enter the names of all contributors helping compile a comprehensive list of such challenges and risks in a draw for a piece of art valued at $ 100.

I am looking for ideas and help in starting a modern and exciting club for people wanting to advance their presentation and public speaking skills.

To achieve the long standing goals of improving my presentation skills and acquiring public speaking experience, I attempted joining the Toast masters Club twice. But I dropped out both times because of the rigid and old fashion structure of their meetings.

With the social networking generation entering the workplace or being promoted to senior positions, I believe that there is a demand for a fresh and up-to-date version of the Toast Masters Club.

I welcome feedback, suggestions and statements of interest in helping to start such a club.

Can anyone direct me on how to market or sell the design of a new product?
The new product idea is a compact Fireproof Safe for computer media such as CD,DVD,etc…

I can think of three possible ways to do this,
1) sell the design idea to a Fireproof Safe manufacturer,
2) become a supplier to a Fireproof Safe manufacturer,
3) or become a supplier to a large retailer such as Walmart.

I have no experience in marketing.
What is the best way to market this product?
Manufacturing requires a large investment that I don’t have.
So far I have invested all my time in the design and have a prototype professionally built for demonstration purposes.

As a member of vKoopia’s Team, I am looking for an effective and fun way to dynamically apportion points to contributors based on other users’ assessment of the content individuals contribute to vKoopia’s Knowledge Base (Knowledge Sharing). One of the key requirements for such a “peer rating” system is that, in the future, the contributors will be able to use their reward points as sort of “vKoopia currency” towards purchases of services and products offered by or through vKoopia.

The way businesses operate has changed. The fast communication that we are experiencing coupled with open source ideas that are more and more catching up seems to be the logical way to go about patent registration.
The traditional patent registration is not only costly it is also time consuming. The VPatent transfer the responsibility of the originality of idea to those who claim to register it under their own name.
Simply speaking to be owner of an idea, one has to use the real name and coordinates. This process will oblige the individual to be truthful about their claim, since they can be sued if they are not the originator of the idea.
On the other hand, the VPatent will not only provide a simple and inexpensive method to register an idea, but also having it so open and accessible, may attract investors and other expertise to further develop and Implement your idea.

This business idea was created focusing on environmental benefit it creates.

A quick look at the recorded history, illustrate trend of exponentially increasing transportation ability, which is also often defined as a basic needs! We also know the very same ability is major cause of destruction trend that is recognized more and more in recent years.
With over 6 Billion world population and increasing, need for sustainable environment is becoming more and more obvious. Many projects are developing by individual and organizations to increase fuel efficiencies and use other means such as mass transportation (transit) to reduce carbon dioxide emissions/transportation unit of goods and people.
This very basic necessity is behind creation of this idea.
I call it “Sustainability Management Center” (SMC), with branches to meet needs in National, Provincial, and City’s metropolitan level.
This idea is developed on the opportunity that will create to reduce transportation needs of goods and people by optimizing the exchange (distribution) of the goods and people.
Perhaps, some of these kinds of efficiencies are done through individual or some organizations, but it is not done through automation and mass collaboration.
I am looking forward to collaborate with interested people to further develop and implement the idea.

This should be considered as a green innovation. It reduces significantly needs for unnecessary physical print of receipt while provide access to digital copy of the receipt. This will create win/Win/Win/Win for businesses, Consumers, Ereceipt co. and environment.

The following explain one of many ways this can be implemented.
Establish the Ereciept.com. Ask retail stores to become E-receipt provider by registering with your company. Providing public with use ID and password as they register with your site. As public visit the E-Receipt equiped retails, they will have a choice to ask for the traditional paper receipt or they could ask for their receipt be forwarded to their account at the Ereciept.com. Public can log into the E-Receipt whenever they want to download and print if needed.
This method of processing a record for purchases will grow exponentially as it is win/win/win/win for everyone involves and it has significant positive impact on environment.
I am looking for an investor and IT experts who are interested to further develop and market this idea.
