It's time to bring your unused entrepreneurial ideas out into the light!
The person who sends in the best international product or service idea will win the first ever International Entrepreneur Recycled Ideas Contest. I will be giving the contest winner a US$100 gift certificate to Amazon.com (or other controversial on-line store or charity of the winner's choice). I will be posting new internationally-viable product or service ideas that are submitted so that entrepreneurs around the world might be able to use some of them.
Here are the contest rules:
1. The product or service needs to be one that is currently not developed (or in development) by you or anyone else that you know of.
2. Describe your product or service idea including the problem is solves in 100 words or less in English. Post your product idea as a comment to this blog or send a link to @intlentreprenr.
3. Please include your name and a twitter address if you want it to be included with your idea.
4. The whole idea of recycling is that by sending in your unused ideas, you are relinquishing your legal rights to the idea.
5. Technological product ideas are welcome, but please describe your product in non-technical terms.
6. You can post more than one idea, but the most you can post is three ideas, so please make them you best!
7. Entrepreneurs from around the world are encouraged to send entries! For non-native English speakers, ideas will not be discounted in any way for grammar or spelling errors.
8. Deadline for entries is midnight, January 31, 2010. The winner will be announced February 3rd and all viable ideas will be posted within the week following.
So let the brainstorming begin!

It's only fair if I put out some international entrepreneurial ideas for recycling as well. Here are a few:
ReplyDelete- A company that franchises senior home healthcare in countries where ageing parents are expected to live with their professional working children. Countries where there should be high demand are China, Brazil, and Mexico.
- SIMMS cards & cell phones sold at kiosks in major airports worldwide. By having one brand that businesspeople who travel internationally frequently would take the guesswork out of where to buy dependable phones to use in country.
I hope someone can use one of these ideas and make it into a thriving business. If you decide to move one of these ideas forward, let me know and I'll write about your experiences! -Becky
