business plans

um. am constantly thinking of new and interesting lobangs that will make me money..... so my latest idea is to get into the book review business. isn't it great? people send u books, u read and write a review, and get paid! good deal, and get free books too. unfortunately, I'm not sure who would actually pay for my opinion, important as it is... i've googled 'paid book review' and didn't get many hits.... a lot of sites actually wanna see a CV. which kinda sucks. so mebbe I won't act on this lobang afterall.

Mark said that we shd set up a business together. interesting, except all my business ideas involve illegal activity. and i've promised my dad to stay on the right side of the law. darn. shd change the law lah. and does two lefts make a right? as we all know in San Francisco, 3 right turns = 1 left turn.

hhmm. i think any business idea right now has to be web based, so that we can run the business and still go to school.... a previous idea was to provide a Green library DVD pickup service, to help ppl return their DVDs to the library in order to avoid the $5/day fine. but the logistics quite hard... how can i pick up DVDs frm the dorms without needing the ppl to be home? perhaps a central dropbox for each dorm?

how about an essay writing service? breaks the Stanford honor code, but not the law.... but that involves real hard work.... bad idea. a homework databank? also against the honor code, i guess. plus might not be too useful if the profs don't recycle hw questions.

i know. make little GPS trackers for ppl to put on their bikes! no fear, even if it gets stolen, just report to the police and track it down.... good for ppl who have $500 bikes... they prolly don't mind paying another $50 for peace of mind? how much are GPS trackers anyways? must go ask Tzewee if this is possible.

aiyah. i think i'll just stick to my karang guni business till autumn. but am open to any good suggestions...
