Start Simple (simple business ideas to get you started)

Oftentimes the best ideas are the simplest.

A pair of grad students from Ireland recently setup a dictionary redirection project called The Big Word Project that attempts to “redefine” the words we use by reference to existing websites. In their words:

The Big Word Project has been set up by Paddy Donnelly and Lee Munroe, two Masters students from Northern Ireland, who are exploring what different words mean to different people. The project allows you to purchase a word from our list to represent your site. Your site will then represent this word in our list and when people click on it, they will be taken to your site. The project is aimed at changing definitions and creating a new tapestry of words, meaning altogether different things.

By keeping the idea very simple and the cost of entry reasonable The Big Word Project is likely to achieve the same type of success as the Million Dollar Homepage.

Lesson: be simple, be reasonable, be successful
