Procrastination Productivity Book.. A book whereby it teaches you how to use procrastination productively

A taxi for dogs 😂😂😂 This is hilarious.

But thinking about it, I see where you were coming from.

A Santa letter service- pay $10, Santa would send a reply to your child's letter!!! Except the Canadian postal service does this for free....

Getting an online account and having fellow students to work on them as I get paid and give them a commision. It worked!

A atmospheric water generator for the desert climate

That appears to be a cute but impractical idea. I suppose dogs don't require a lot of transportation.

A children’s book about mentally challenged rabbits who leave their old den and try to find a new place to live.

It was called “Watership Downs”

I tried to start a dating service in a small town. No one knew. This was all pre internet. I rented a PO Box and ran an ad in the local newspaper. People joined for $2 month. I think I made $10 in 3 months

I could see the dog taxi working in NYC. Lots of dogs, few cars, and they need to get to and from the vet.

Bumble for dogs so you could find a best friend for your best friend. My dog is antisocial and a bit racist towards other breeds....

Dropshipping (any kind)

An app that when you log on, texts all your contacts to say you're still alive.

I call it NDY (pronounced needy) and it's an acronym for Not Dead Yet.

Are you saying Uber for Dogs? Popularized by serial entrepreneur Royce DuPont?

An app to SEND forgiveness to those that hurt you. When they open the forgiveness message, it require that they agree to turn their selfie camera on to capture the moment they are forgiven so that you can see if they look remorseful. Shamefully stupid. Worst part is we spent tons on the promo video but the more effective video cost 10x less than the bigger budget one. Having said all that, lots of lessons learned and wouldn’t change a thing.

Similar to your post, I once thought of starting a dog rental service. You can pick up a dog, take it to the park, and play around for 2-3 hours. Then you return the dog and your couch is still intact.

Honestly I think your taxi business had potential to work OP. Did you undertake market research with dog breeders, kennels, associations for the blind etc, to learn what their specific problems and needs were?

Oh so many.... reflective paint inside of semi truck tires so when a tire blew out, other cars could see the scraps & try to avoid it 😬 it was a random on the spot idea as I mowed over a lost tire on the freeway.

alot of micro mobility stuff and drone stuff sounds fun but I dont think they would work super well. I just couldnt beat Lime and the lyft bikes

one thing I was thinking was a drone fleet that could salt driveways in the winter? but at best its like an add on to a landscaping/snow removal, and might be hard to get approval for, plus itd be loud as shit

I also had a weird idea that may work, but also might be stupid, but I had an idea for a mechanic shop that also linked with a restaurant, or was next door. so people could eat and drink while they get quick services, and if they drank too much, they could leave their car overnight for service and get drunk and a ride home

Owned the domain StupidClick.com, put a button on it which upon click redirected to a random Amazon item. Didn't last long.

This is the thread I’ve been waiting for. I’d like to introduce you to “Milk Squeezies”. You know those little Mio water flavoring packs? Imagine having a flavor liquid to squeeze into your milk to make it taste like the milk left over at the bottom of your cereal bowl. It’s that, in varying cereal flavors.

My friend and I came up with it when discussing the worst business ideas ever. Pretty sure coffee creamers now offer this…

I had an idea the domain name was amplibytes.com ( I never secured it--so if you're feeling adventurous it's still available)--ANYWAY....The idea was that people bring their smart phones into amplibytes and they could hook them up to an amplifier and killer speakers and you rent out a room and you can throw custom parties with your own custom music. I figured you'd have to have a moderator person for each room and it would bring in too much riff raff so I ditched the idea. Apple killed the headphone jack in 2016 so I knew I was screwed then.

WeWank

Like WeWork, but you just go there to jerk off then you leave.

I once had a college student that wanted me to sign an NDA for his machine he designed… turned out it was a perpetual motion machine.

Business students should be required to learn basic physics. I didn’t sign the NDA.

That is so cute! I agree that it's not very practicle, but it sounds fun.

A website dedicated to condiments, like if you want to find an obscure variety of ketchup. I got further with it than I’d like to admit

Bavarian inspired athliesure called Liesurehoaen

Buying Army fatigues and begging for money in a Republican majority neighborhood

Every single thing I thought was a great business idea before I worked my first full-time job.

I started a bikini brand.

YouTube before YouTube, but I couldn’t code and was concerned about copyright violations. Recall at the time the RIAA was suing people for millions for downloading a song. I was young at the time and took that at face value.

Sell all porn sites on .xxx domains so we could free up names.

Like pornhub.xxx would be porn but I guess pornhub.com could be a knitting info site???

I had a business idea of cell phone battery pack rentals. Like having a network of battery packs to rent, the problem is I doubt the demand is high enough.

A dildo rental company

The taxi business for dogs is not bad. A slight modification that work well is a luxury dog courier. Their is a company that I heard of that offers rides in luxury vehicles to pet hotels, vets, etc.

My stupid idea was a video game for blind people....

A real estate website called Knowtheseller.com where people can find out the information about the person(s) selling a home. Turns out people like their privacy! I was 26 years old and thought it was a good idea. Everyone cringed and I thought they’d all come around to it 🤦‍♂️

Print on demand.
