HOT op2 for 2017 DRONES.

[GordonJ]

Yea, I've been droning on about this for two years...but 2017 will be the year of the drone. Will you cash in?

1) Open a drone training center, help people get their licenses. If you have land nearby, like a farm or big park, it might be a good place to teach.

2) Clubs and associations, and COMPETITIONS with big prize money (from sponsors).

3) Aerial photography. I once sold pictures of old farms, I bet almost every farm in the country (or most) have been sold an aerial photo. Real Estate, especially with widened views do well.

4) Aerial mapping and surveying. Right now, there is a huge audit of cell phone towers taking place, these are getting big money.

Here are some resources.

I'm telling ya, yelling at ya, not yet selling (but maybe soon)...

Buzzzzzzzzzzzzz Buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz and I'll keep droning on and on about

DRONES.

ALSO, hope to bring you ONE idea a day in DEC, targeted toward 2017 money making potential. Feel free to add your opinions.

Hi Gordon,

Up till June, in the USA, you required a full pilot's license to operate a drone.

In June, the FAA unveiled a new set of rules governing drone use. Now, you no longer need a pilot's license, but you need to pass a knowledge test and get a certificate which allows you to fly a drone.

So, where are we now? Let's say you want to do business using a drone... Whether doing aerial photography, drone fly-by videos, drone aerial advertising, etc.

You've got the idea... But you haven't yet got the certificate.

How do you get it?

First step... Find where there's an FAA-approved knowledge testing center near you.

Find your state and city here, and look up your nearest one...

You can't fly a drone now. But you could be flying one soon!

Let us know how it goes!

More useful information...

New FAA rules mean US companies can fly drones without a pilot's license
