It doesn’t seem so long ago that when a personal relationship broke up – and assuming it had not resulted in marriage or children – you each went your separate ways and never need darken each others horizon again. The internet, and social networking in particular, has changed that, with each failed relationship leaving an online trail for all the world to see for ever. 

That’s the problem which precipitated the launch of Block Your Ex, a tool designed to erase broken relationships from your online existence. More than 7,800 exes are currently being blocked thanks to the tool.

Why do I mention this? Because I think this is just the tip of a growing iceberg – part of a field that’s set to become very lucrative over the next few years. An increasing number of people have information about themselves or their activities online which they’d like to see removed.

Anyone with the wherewithal to ‘clean up’ an individuals (or companies) online persona, will find a ready market.

Not a field which anyone can enter, but I’m convinced that multi-millionaires will be created from this in the not too distant future.

Don’t Look For Business Opportunities

It sounds counter-intuitive, but looking for business opportunities is rarely a good way to find …a business opportunity! So what should you do instead? 

Well the very best way to find a viable business opportunity is to look for problems that require a solution. And the easiest way to do that? Look at problems that you have which don’t have a solution at the moment. When you approach it that way, you can be sure that the problem is genuine.

The big mistake a lot of people make is coming up with a perfect solution to a problem which doesn’t really exist. That’s what tends to happen when you look for opportunity which doesn’t have an unsolved problem at its core.

Here’s what it’s all about……

A few months ago, we sent a guy called Graham Carter, what he called a ‘crummy disc’ (the cheek of it!) in a plain brown envelope. On the disc were the words ‘Project X’, hand-written in red felt tip.

Why did we send it to him?

Because he was broke and we wanted him to try something out. We needed someone who was down on his luck…someone with none of the advantages which a lot of people set out with on a new project. Someone whose position was pretty hopeless really. Here’s what we figured…

     If Graham could make this work, anyone could.

Two US entrepreneurs, Adam and Ryan Goldston thought they’d hit the jackpot when they invented a Basketball shoe which would help players improve their vertical jump by over three inches.

That was until the National Basketball Association banned their shoe. But then events turned in their favour. The story of the banned shoes went viral on the internet. Suddenly everyone wanted the $300 shoes and orders flooded in from all around the world.

 This is a very familiar story. In the past I’ve heard stories about banned records, books, sports equipment, food, drinks, drugs and lots of other stuff.

And the same thing happens time and again…demand goes through the roof once people hear about the ban. People are naturally drawn towards things they’re not supposed to have – things that ‘they’ don’t want them to have.

Is this a fact you could use in your marketing? Have any of your products or services been banned – or even been under threat of a ban. If they have, it could be something you could turn to your advantage.

Calculated Profits

It’s not unusual for groups of consumers to have quite transient needs, and when this happens, a business opportunity often opens up. Students are one such group. They often study a subject for a short period, and are required to source quite expensive resources, which they will only need for a short period of time.

Previously, we’ve talked about services set up to rent books to students, thereby negating the need for them to make an expensive purchase.

A Canadian company has spotted another need they can satisfy in a similar way – by renting out expensive graphic and financial calculators. Students often need these for just a couple of classes and can save 70% by renting rather than buying. When the rental period is complete, they simply mail them back to the company.

I don’t think this is a fortune-maker, but it could certainly be a solid business. As far as I know, nobody is doing this in the UK yet, so perhaps something to copy?

Imagine travelling several hundred miles, with a ferry journey thrown in for good measure…just to buy nappies. Sounds ridiculous doesn’t it, and yet that’s just what entrepreneurial Poles and Lithuanians are doing, who see half-priced diapers are too good a business opportunity to pass up.

As I’m sure you know, supermarkets often use loss-leaders to entice customers into their stores. For reasons I don’t fully understand, (perhaps young parents are a big target market) cut-price nappies have become the preferred lure in parts of Norway.

It’s set off something of a price war, which would be great news for Norwegian parents if they could actually find nappies in stock, but they can’t. Prices are so low that Poles and Lithuanians, have started trekking to Norway for the sole purpose of buying up every last nappy they can find. I’m assuming they then take them back home and sell them at a profit.

I’m sure opportunities come up like this all the time – and not just across International borders. Local shops and Supermarket have cut price, time –sensitive offers to bring in customers, which aren’t available in other areas. Every time that happens, there’s a profit opportunity. Buy the product in one area, and resell it in another for less money than it’s available for in that area. Simple, but not that easy.

The trick is to be on the spot to take up the offers, and you’ll not always be able to do that. This probably isn’t something for a regular income then, but something to keep in the back of your mind for when the opportunity presents itself. And once you’re alert to the possibility, the opportunities will present themselves all the more regularly.

Cupcakes Collapse

You don’t have to go back too many years to arrive at a time where nobody was talking about cupcakes. The past few years have seen an explosion in the market, with specialist chains being set up and most mainstream confectionary bakers jumping on the bandwagon.

A great deal of money has been made, but it really feels like we’re at, or beyond, market saturation. So I wouldn’t recommend you go into the cupcake business at this moment, but I would recommend that you ask yourself a simple question.. What’s next?

There are always trends and fads in the food and drink business, and spotting them early and riding the crest of the wave can pay massive dividends. Where should you focus your efforts? Well anyone who can combine great taste with genuine healthy properties stands to make a killing in any sector of the food and drink market.

People choose the hotels they stay in for all sorts of reasons, and an increasing number are interested in the ‘green credentials’ of the place they’ll be laying their head for the night. It’s with this in mind that Green Hotels was set up in Greece. 

To be included in the Green Hotels network, hotels must pass a whole range of tests with regard to their approach to environmental issues. They are then graded on a scale of A through to C, dependant on the level of their adherence to green principles.

Speaking as someone with far more interest in the temperature of the water in the shower than how fuel efficient it is, this isn’t a service I’ll be using any time soon. But the point is that there is a market niche here to be exploited, and if there’s a demand for this in Greece, I’m sure there’s demand in the UK.

Looking at this purely from a business point of view, creating such a network is no different than a network of hotels with swimming pools, fine cuisine, sea views or anything else. Perhaps something for you to consider introducing to the UK then?

Dorm In A Box

When a teenager is going off to University for the first time, they need a whole pile of stuff, and that’s the premise behind Dorm-In-A-Box. The US based service promises to put together everything you might need in one simple package. Because of bulk buying they claim to supply $1,200 of value for $349.

I’m not sure whether anyone is doing anything similar in the UK, but it could be worth investigating. Thinking more widely, are there any other life events or activities which lend themselves to this ‘In a box’ approach?

In the past, for example, we’ve featured a company supplying everything you need to camp at a festival, in one package. There have to be other opportunities to help people save time, money and thinking time by packaging up everything they might need in a particular circumstance.

URGENT – Partners Wanted!    

Hello,  

Over the last few weeks, I’ve putting the finishing touches to a unique opportunity, the like of which we’ve never been able to offer before. It’s the opportunity for a small number of customers to partner with Streetwise Publications and take the helm of a micro-business we’ve created which has already pulled in £1,642,742 as I write this.  

Well now it’s ready, and you are one of the very first people I’m alerting to this today.  

You can find full details online here:

www.streetwisepartners.co.uk 

The recent Coronavirus lockdown and an announcement at the last budget which went unnoticed by most people, has turbocharged what was already a highly profitable business. What happened in lockdown and a loophole created by the budget announcement are real game changers. It’s an unprecedented opportunity.   

Who is this perfect for? Anyone who wants to make a great deal of moneyworking in their spare time from home and has access to a PC or laptop.  

Anyway, take a look now. As you’ll see, places on this are very limited (for obvious reasons) so don’t delay taking a look.

John Harrison    

PS When you join us in this, we will be on hand to provide full back up and support to ensure you succeed.

Do you know what people are more interested in than anything else?

Themselves!

That probably explains the success of a whole raft of businesses which have as their basis, immortalising or representing the customer in some way.

One of the latest things we’ve seen is Voice-Prints, a Toronto based company who will create a visual work of art from a recording of a voice or voices.

The possibilities are many and varied – a babies first words, a couples wedding vows, a crowds cheer for example. All of these and countless others can be immortalised in something you can hang on your wall.

Consumers have a perennial interest in seeing themselves represented visually on just about everything from mugs and coasters to miniature dolls. So it’s hardly surprising that they’re interested in seeing their voices represented too.

What other aspects of consumers persona might they be interested in having represented or immortalised…their brain waves perhaps? I’ll leave you to give it some thought.

Don’t Break The Chain

Here’s an idea Jerry Seinfield used to get better at writing jokes, but you can use it to improve at just about anything. 

All you need is a wall planner which has a full year on show. Hang it in a prominent place and then every day that you work on what you’re hoping to improve (writing, copywriting, playing a musical instrument, developing a business…whatever) you get to put a big red cross on the wall planner.

Every day under your belt will add to your chain of crosses, and your only task is this – Don’t break the chain! 

So you don’t think about your day to day results – only not breaking the chain. This kind of persistence practice will ensure that you continue to improve.

This probably qualifies as one of the strangest businesses we’ve seen recently, but who knows, it might trigger of an idea. Catacombo is a system for putting music into coffins! 

Created in Sweden the system consists of three different parts. Firstly, users create an account through the online CataPlay platform, which connects to Spotify and enables customers to create a playlist for their own coffin or get friends and family to choose the tracks when they’re gone.

The CataTomb is a 4G-enabled gravestone that receives the music from CataPlay and display the current track – along with details and tributes to the deceased through an LCD display. Finally, the music is played into the CataCoffin pretty much for ever. The cost? Around 23,000 Euro’s.

Now I don’t know who’s going to pay this (certainly not someone who’s chosen to be cremated I’d imagine!) but I suppose it gives lie to the phrase, “You can’t take it with you.”

There certainly seems to be a growth in interest in unusual funeral arrangements, and perhaps there’s money to be made by fulfilling unusual wishes. Can’t imagine your complaints department will be kept too busy either! 

Fabulous Fries

Few of us give much thought to the humble French Fry, but Florida based Scott Nelowet spotted an opportunity while on holiday in Amsterdam.

In the United States, fries are seen as filler food, but in Amsterdam there are a number of outlets selling gourmet fries. Neolwet borrowed the idea, and tested it around Florida using a mobile van.

When that proved successful he opened his first French Fry Heaven restaurant in 2011, offering sweet potato fries with a choice of 55 sauces, spices and sea salt toppings.

There are two things to take away from this I think: 

1.  Always be alert to what’s working in other countries while on holiday.

2.  There’s almost always an opportunity to create an upmarket version of a generic product. 

So what’s next?

People seem to fall into one of three groups where holidays are concerned. There are those who have no real interest in holidays and don’t really care if they go at all, those who are very interested and know exactly what they want to do…and then a third group who are very interested, but don’t really know what they want to do.

It’s for this third group that Wanderfly was set up – a website which aims to offer ‘tailored inspiration’ by focussing on three variables…budget, timeframe and interests.

Users enter their details on the site and are then presented with suggested trips complete with flights, accommodation and itinerary which can be booked through site partners such as Expedia and Lonely Planet. There’s even a connection to Facebook to locate friends in any of the chosen destinations! 

We’re tell you about this for three reasons: 

1.  It may be a service you’d like to try out for yourself. 

2.  It’s evidence that there are still new opportunities in what is a very 
     mature travel market.

3.  Travel is just one market in which consumers face an increasingly large and bewildering range of choice.

There is scope in many fields for someone to come along in an advisory role, provide inspiration, and help the consumer home in on the most desirable options for them.

Might your market be one of those where this form the basis of a viable business?

Life Beyond Death

Whether you believe in reincarnation or not, it seems that technology is reaching the stage where people can live after death – in a fashion. 

I just read about an initiative from the MIT Entrepreneurship Programme which collects web chats, blogs, emails and text messages from a deceased person, and then uses complex algorithms and artificial intelligence to create a ‘chatbot’ that represents the persons online persona.

It’s then possible to interact and communicate with this online presence. The idea is to unlock the memories hidden in their online presence, according to the researchers behind the project. 

In the years to come, the amount of social media and other online data left behind by individuals is just going to grow and grow. The MIT project gives a glimpse into what’s possible now. The possibilities for the future are both exciting and terrifying in equal measure.

One thing’s for sure – there are huge profits to be made by those able to harness the available data in the right way.

What better place to wait out the pandemic than Barbados? Like most of its Caribbean neighbours it has been good at keeping Covid-19 at bay during the past few months. But that does not mean the island has been unscathed.

Tourists’ spending accounts for 40% of the island’s GDP, with approximately 30% of the workforce employed by the industry. This helps explain the latest proposal of the prime minister, Mia Mottley.

She is advocating a “Welcome Stamp” for visitors to work remotely in paradise for up to a year. The idea is that if holidays are not possible, then maybe the island can attract well-heeled office workers who no longer have to go to the office.

The visa is open to applicants worldwide for £1,590 (US$2,000) per person, or £2,385 (US$3,000) per family.

To qualify, applicants must earn at least £39,760 (US$50,000) per year and have health insurance.

In between Zoom meetings, visa recipients can enjoy beach time: surfing, scuba diving and jet-skiing; or, since that can be thirsty work, there are plenty of local rum distilleries to tour. If this sounds like something you could get on board with, just switch your status to “working from beach”.

Money Statistics?

$74trn – The combined net worth of all those with investable assets of at least $1m at the end of 2019, an increase of 8.7% from 2018. The US had the most millionaires at 5.9 million.

£40bn – How much the migration of one million Hongkongers, three million of whom have been offered a path to UK citizenship, would contribute to the British economy.

$20,000 – The forecast price prediction of Bitcoin, for the end of 2020, by most analysts. As of the 7th of August, Bitcoin’s price is $11,875, a gain of over 20% in the last month.

“What’s your biggest weakness? Where do you see yourself in five years’ time?” Such is the mind-numbingly predictable ritual of the modern job interview. Afterwards, the interviewer usually makes a gut-instinct decision about who to hire.

Yet this wildly subjective methodology is a bad way of finding the best people. Everyone thinks they have good intuition, but the data says otherwise. One study showed people were worse at predicting a student’s future grades after reading a profile and interviewing them compared with reading a profile alone.

Interviews introduce a lot of useless “noise” – information that seems significant but is just a distraction. One of the biggest bits of noise is charm. The traditional interview is an ideal environment for the charismatic – fine if you are recruiting a sales force, but not if you need an accountant or a software engineer.

Thankfully things are changing. There is a growing trend towards competency-related tests: the best way to test job candidates is often just to see if they can handle important job tasks.

Suffering From A Tax Conscience? Take This To Relieve The Symptoms

£15,000 – The extra charge paid by recent homebuyers who bought just before the government’s recent change to the stamp duty threshold, now £500,000, than those who buy now.

  £1.1m – How much Prince Charles, as the Duke of Cornwall, received from the unclaimed assets of residents of Cornwall who died without leaving a will or having surviving relatives, in the year to March.

  Excellent work has been undertaken by the Cabinet Office’s Efficiency and Reform Group in terms of finding savings, but taxpayers’ cash has still been wasted in a number of ways, with significant sums ripe for being saved in many areas, including:

  £53 billion – Additional cost of funding pay and pensions for public sector workers over and above the private sector average, based on analysis of figures from the Office for National Statistics and the Pension Policy Institute.

  £25 billion – Amount wasted through inefficient public sector procurement and poor use of outsourcing, based on an authoritative report from the Institute of Directors.

  £20.3 billion – Cost to the economy of public sector fraud, according to the National Fraud Authority

  £5 billion – Amount paid in benefits to those with an income in excess of £100,000. £4 billion – Losses to the taxpayer from RBS and the sale of Northern Rock.

  £2.9 billion – Amount spent needlessly by the Department for Business, Innovation & Skills and Department for Culture, Media & Sport, which should both be scrapped.

  £1.2 billion – Annual subsidy to foreign farmers through the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy.

The difference between a bubble and a mania is hard to define, but most of us figure we know it when we see it, to borrow an American judge’s famous summary of pornography. The boom or bubble, according to your taste, in large tech stocks such as Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Facebook or Microsoft doesn’t seem to pass that test.

We can argue about whether they are overvalued, but they are clearly very valuable. At worst, they should be worth a good proportion of what the market now thinks. Some other trends look more like mania.

Take electric-vehicle maker Tesla, whose share price recently passed $1,000, up from around $400 in January. Its market capitalisation of $200bn is now larger than Toyota’s; its enterprise value is just a third smaller than Toyota and 20% smaller than Volkswagen, and is larger than Hyundai, General Motors or Ford.

Toyota and Volkswagen both make more than ten million from vehicles per year; the other three make six to seven million each. Tesla makes less than 500,000. Simply put, Tesla needs to grow production and market share vastly, or become hugely more profitable than its rivals, to justify its current valuation. That is conceivable, but very optimistic. If it fails, it’s worth a great deal less

Shares We’re Buying This Month 

Focusrite, the audio specialist has been enjoying a lockdown boom. A world leader in the hardware and software used to record, mix and edit sound, Focusrite used to sell mainly to the music industry. Yet emerging demand from podcasting, game streaming and online education means that there is more opportunity than ever in this sector. The group enjoys large gross margins, particularly in its software operations. A price/ earnings ratio of 26 is justified by auspicious long-term growth prospects.

Founded in 1993, Caretech today runs more than 500 social-care facilities, looking after children and young adults with complex conditions ranging from autism to anorexia. Staff-to-patient ratios are high and many employees have been with the business for years; indeed, a large number own the shares. Activity remained resilient despite the disruption of lockdown and the company last month hiked the interim dividend by 7%. The payout has also risen every year since 2007.

Sales at the owner of Premier Inn and Beefeater plunged by 99% during the first seven weeks of lockdown, prompting a £1bn rights issue. The funds have provided crucial balance-sheet ballast, yet the money will also be used for future growth and investment. The travails of rival Travelodge suggest that there will be plenty of chances to poach assets in the coming months, while there is scope for Whitbread to grow its market share considerably.

Once again ——Thank You Very Much.

Kind Regards,

John
