Selling ideas

[AT101ET]

Hi,
I know the thread seems weird, and in all honesty, it is!
I'm a rather creative person and i've come up with lots of great ideas in the past few years.
I'm currently working on one myself, but have plenty more that I just don't have the time or funds to do.
Therefore, I am selling my ideas to the public.
I have varius app ideas, website ideas and product ideas (hardware)
If you're looking for someone very creative, send me a PM and specify what you need.
I'm sure something can be arranged...

No one will know if an idea is good or bad, until its complete so you could be giving a terrible idea or a really good one. Not the best/safest way to make money.

[AT101ET]

I won't sell anything without explaining the idea first.
And yes, the ideas aren't bad. Its how the people pursue them that can either make them, or break them.
It's how you create the good and how you publicise it.
I have an idea for an app that is guaranteed to be a success. I just don't have 100k to spend on developers.
If a developer would want to join me for equity, then I'd keep that idea myself.

Again, this thread was just an idea. Definitely not one of my best, but an idea nonetheless

Np. I understand and this is a good idea, its just that people wont make money unless they pursue the idea FULLY. So do you sell the idea or do you ask for a percent in profits?

so what are your rates?

[maurya78]

Why would anyone buy your ideas

It's a hilarious idea, if they are so great you would do them yourself

[Ravocado]

Oh cmon, really? Shut up and take my money! You have ideas that are guaranteed success? Then I bet you won't have problems selling them to real life investors or you could use some crowdfunding - kickstarter is a perfect place for someone with great idea and limited funds. So yeah selling you ideas here on forum...thanks, but no thanks.
You're currently working on one yourself - care to tell something more?

[AT101ET]

I'm quite young, so funding is the problem.
Some of my ideas aren't physical products, and there is no protection on my part.
If I show it to the world on kickstarter anyone can steal my idea.
And regarding my project, I can't share anything until my patent comes through.
And yes, I will be using kickstarter for it...
And when my site goes live, I may accept BTC and LTC as well :

So many questions...
If you're not interested, don't ask. Simples

Once you explained the idea to somebody, *poof* its gone. The guy might say I don't like your idea and can run away with your idea. Know what I'm saying? How will you manage, escrow your idea?

[AT101ET]

That's a good point.
If someone is genuinely interested, I will get them to sign an NDA. I will also make a record of all conversations between us as proof.
This may include PMs, emails to ensure it's not a hacked account, a perhaps even recorded telephone/skype calls.
Again, I'm not just going to give the idea away.
If someone asks me for an idea for a website or item, I will ensure that they have the means or ability to actually develop the idea first.
Only then will I go forth with proceedings.

are you serious  you are selling ideas 

[Cshark]

I think you gotta split this offer up into two parts: Small down payment for the idea, and if someone likes it, they can donate as much as they want to.

[watts]

Eh, why not, it's worth a shot. I've seen sillier ideas.

PMed you my Skype info.

[jeppe]

this post is a good idea, good luck selling them

[Fraxinus]

Ive been thinking about this for a long time now but like one above me said once you said it , they can run off with it. Unless you hold a patent that costs lots of money..

[stompix]

You;re talking first about selling ideas , then you claim that you're taking into account if it's possible for the person to start a business with that idea.
Now , that looks more like selling a plan not an idea.

So , you've be better off crowd funding your own ideas.

Well said...
For those that have doubts, Im a student who doesn't have the time or funds to start up all these projects.
As I said, I'm working on one myself. Once it goes live, I'll share it with all of you.
