As I was saying in an earlier blog post this afternoon, I would much rather share any ideas I have, rather than keep them to myself just in case somebody else might ’steal’ them. I think that a lot of people grossly overestimate the value of the ideas they have, and in my experience an idea is worth next to nothing if it isn’t acted on. As it happens, the one idea I did have which has made me money was never really that original; all it did was take an existing idea which appears in print in many places, and put it on the Internet.
I have one particular idea for a new website which I keep on telling people I’m going to launch, but I don’t think that anyone would take from me, because it is going require a significant amount of passion and detail subject knowledge to make it happen. For now, this idea is to stay on the back burner whilst I keep my main website afloat.
But what about other ideas I have for future projects, some of which don’t really have that much to do with the Internet? What if an idea is just a quick sketch or a design or in many cases as I find, just a play on words? I’d far rather flesh out a very brief description of what I’m thinking about in no more than one page, and stick it up on the Internet somewhere. If I should happen to meet someone, whether in person or online, who expresses an interest in something similar, then I can always point them in that direction. In the meantime, I always have plenty on my plate to get on with.
(21:17) after complaining before, I’m now wanting the voice recognition and a warning to come up, so I can take a break, or at least go online or just do a bit of sketching in Flash. But for the time being, I have flagged up 10 potential blog posts that I could do, and I have just done one of them, so I think I’m going to be here for a little bit longer. Well, I restarted the session after dinner at 8:40, and I’ve now gone on for 40 minutes, so I think I’ll do another 20.
