Default New Idea for making money!

Hi Everyone. Hope you're all doing well, especially the folks on the east coast who may still be recovering from Hurricane Irene.

I want to share an 'easily doable' idea that can potentially bring you an ongoing stream of income for years to come. It's not meant to replace your day job but it will help you earn more money than you would if you were to place $300,000 cash in an interest bearing bank account.

So the idea has to do with using RSS feeds to create a news portal. I know many of you will say Google News has already done that and Google Reader and many other RSS Readers are meant for this purpose. I agree with you, the technology is there but it's also true that millions of people still get their news by hopping from web site to web site, repeatedly checking each site to see if there is any new content. I am not just talking about headline news from sites like CNN, this applies equally to niche sites on all kinds of topics.

What if you could make it easier for people to scan through headlines of news that are of interest to them and earn some Ad money by doing so?

Here's an example of a news portal targeted towards the fashion minded crowd:

Thanks Martin. I started my balloon distribution business again on 8/19. Then last Friday, I spent the entire day taping up windows of stores in my neighborhood in preparation for Irene. I made $480 doing that.

There are so many opportunities are everywhere. I've redesigned my website and will be posting the ones that I've tried and succeeded at.

One of my all time favorite quotes is: "Do not worry about failure. Worry about the chances you miss when you don't even try"

Thanks Phil. Interesting twist about blending affiliate products, JV and Display ads for particular companies. I received a few emails from folks asking what's the best way to utilize the RSS based news portal page and I think you've answered that question very well here. Many people also asked which parsing tool I used to create the page. I used SimplePie and you can get it here: https://github.com/simplepie/simplepie

Using this tool is not very intuitive so whoever is interested in pursuing this idea, if you would rather have me create the page for you for a small fee, let me know.

With the 2012 election beginning to pickup steam, you can create a portal or many portals with election related or specific candidate related news. We all know that candidates spare no expense when it comes to campaign ads.

Hi Samir, would like to discuss adding this feature to my blog. I've got something similar already but it's ugly. Have tried emailing your easilydoable and balloon site but haven't heard from you.

Thanks,

Paul.
