10 Ideas???

Ed Dale has mentioned that you should be getting ideas. But, since we're into social networking - not nessesarily being entrepreneurs, it's not our job to find markets so much as it is to find ideas within our specific area of interest.

Here's an example:

Steven: ok, now what i dont get is, we're supposed to have 10 ideas
Steven: about what? lol .. he said he wants us to think up 10 ideas for the challenge
Jame: oh... well, you're gonna have to think out of the box for that one, like
Jame: whats 10 getting-popular things that have to do with your kind of music that you could use to promote yourself with
Jame: for the rest of us its 10 niche-markets
Steven: ?
Jame: kinda different there, but the concept is the same - like, amps
Jame: people into your music might be into getting certain things done to their amps, or might want advice for what amp for x-kind guitar
and since you use x-type guitar your one of the only people actually putting advice out there for what amp to get with x-type guitar and how to use it
James: that's one idea

So, it's 10 different ways you can reach people. Ideas are for what "niches" are available to you - where a niche is any keyword that people are interested in. amps-x-type-guitar is an example of a niche keyword (music, guitar), but it might also be mccain's-obama-britney-paris-ad (politics, news) or trout-fishing-hooks (entrepreneurial market).

The idea is that niche is specific - you could never, EVER get any attention if you main focus was "guitars" - and you were trying to get people's attention by say, teaching people how to do different things on guitar and showing off your music. You've got to get specific.

Now keep scrolling down (if your on the blog) - and read the post prior to this one that I also posted today.
