okay people it's time for the paradigms to shift. we need to think so far outside the box that we're actually wrapping around to being back in the box again. there are no sacred cows. there are no bad ideas. however we do need to make money. let's not reinvent the wheel. there's a template for success, we don't want to mess with that. so let's come up with some ways to follow that tried and true path while simultaneously breaking all the rules. okay, I've done the heavy lifting, you just need to follow my lead by supplying some groundbreaking innovation. go!! |

There's money to be made in your local Goodwill store! Just nonchalantly walk in, look around and if there's any large furniture such as couches or chairs, slyly check the cushions for any fallen change that may have ended up there either before or after the donation. If you have several such stores, you can make the couches and such a regular part of your route, which could also include: -couch change from yard sale furniture -couch change from couches left curbside for trash pick-up -soliciting people door-to-door to "see what it feels like to come on in and sit on thier couch" whereupon you come in, sit down, and hoover up loose couch change |

I am thinking some sort of financial product that aggregates and securitizes couch-change assets. we should be cautious though, I am thinking we should limit the initial offering to no more than five billion. |

idea: we've come up with foods that come in between the meals. snacking was once derided as theoretical but now it's accepted science. but riddle me this: what comes in between the snacks? people who say "more snacks" are dumb, they are no better than the morons who believed light could not be broken down into its component protons and electrons. the foods that come in between the snacks should be innovative and daring. my current thinking is bugs. bugs are everywhere, they're cheap, they're full of protein. we just need a bold marketing campaign to convince the public that bugs are to snacks as snacks are to meals. but not just any bugs, our bugs! naming concept: snugs™ |

here's a real groundbreaker: sex. yes I know the word is controversial, people don't like to talk about it. my parents certainly didnt, in fact Im not entirely convinced that they even know what sex is. but I am assured that it is a thing, and not only that, a thing that maybe feels good and has an (UNPROVEN BUT MUCH DISCUSSED) link to babies. so my thinking is, and stay with me here, maybe we find a way to link sex with money. how one would do that is not entirely clear but there's gotta be a way. um . . . uber, but for sex. sexber. boom, another caribbean island. |

Couchber. You charge someone to let them use your couch for a while, and in addition to the agreed-upon rate, you get all the change and Chiclets that fall into the cracks.

How long has it been since the last big move in the pickle market? Stackable pickle cubes? Is that a thing? Juicero but for brining. Instead of taking juice out we're putting juice in. That's value added. Dessert pickles? Carol! Get me a fudge pickle! |

These are all great but we can think bigger: IoT integration with... I dunno, something lots of people have. Like carpet. We can make SmartCarpet, it'll tell you when you've gained or lost weight, issues with your stride length, when you need new shoes, etc etc Heck it could even politely inform you when you have some stink-rear end feet and offer helpful tips to mitigate your stink-rear end-y-ness. Or it could identify when you're pacing and play some relaxing cool jazz to calm your nerves.

People will pay a premium for pre-washed jeans and other clothes, or if the clothing is distressed. My plan: Buy out all second-hand clothing stores and re-brand them as Pre-Worn Fashion Outlets. Mark up all items by hundreds of dollars Laugh all the way to and while at the bank https://i.imgur.com/QKTkerO.mp4 |
