How do I market a great idea?

How do I Market a Business Idea?

  • I travel often and am stuck in airports fairly often. I've come up with an idea for a business on the secure side of airport terminals that I think would appeal to a great number of people. And I am currently unaware of this type of business existing anywhere. So what can I do with this idea? I'm not rich. I don't have the time or money to start it up on my own. Yet I could see it succeeding in airports worldwide. How can I market this idea while still at least maintaining some ownership of it? Who or what is interested in financing a unique business plan that currently doesn't exist? How do I keep the idea from simply being stolen? Thanks for your answers!! P.S. Maybe I should just write Warren Buffet. We are fellow Nebraskan's...:)

  • Answer:

    An idea is useless unless you can develop it. People have ideas for businesses all the time, I've had half a dozen already today. The hard work is in analyzing the market, doing the sums, drawing up a business plan. There's further hard work in the actual implementation to see if it works and whether it makes a profit. All of that is 99.9999% of a successful business, not the idea. Unlike with copyright and patents, you can't register your idea, sorry. Either you implement it yourself or you find somebody who'll implement it for you. With the latter they are unlikely to give you a large equity stake simply for coming up with the idea. That's why people give business ideas away all the time. There are a lot of free ones around (example: http://www.experienced-people.co.uk/5002-home-based-business-ideas/ ).
