Idea No 18 - Video Blogging (Youtube) !!

Well, considering most of us in today's world use the online video sites as regularly as checking our mail boxes makes it unnecessary for me to explain the potential of the medium. Though the Adsense feature has been launched recently to finally connect what seemed to be a never ending wait to see revenue generation for users from Google.

Another thing I wanted to mention was that we don't need to be professional to actually produce high quality videos and see it work. Remember its the idea conveyed over the video and not really the quality of it that's important. Other thing that I have noticed (and sure most of you would have too) is that video search are basically about the latest world events and are best way to get featured. For example after the latest shoe throw incidence on Mr. President Bush, sure you can't go and capture the moment again but then add humor and redirect it from your point of view...... bush, shoes are something all around you, don't you think so :)

Like always, it’s a big party out there and you don't want to be missed out. So go and kick your creative self out!!

Idea No - 17 Freelance Creative Head and Sales Professional

Well, Lots of us are busy doing what we aren't supposed to do. Though the creative edge and innovative instincts refuse to budge most of us either resides to writing the notes in our blogs or pass them for free to more appropriately positioned men to make money.

I have been trying to work out a formula which suits the best for people who are creative, innovative and have extensive knowledge of diverse subjects. People who might not be on top of the pyramids, but see the change much in advance to restructure the way things function in today’s world.

Firstly, to be creative and innovative, you need not be the head of research facility. "Necessity is the mother of all innovations" and I think this fact goes widely unacknowledged. Most of the products in the market are neither creative nor innovative. And because in today’s corporate society, creators and innovators seldom meet in a common room, most of the products are forced. Also, over the period of time customer becomes the mentor for next generation product life cycle is another fact that’s highly neglected.

Idea is to fill this gap by organizing these random individual think heads into a group of loosely coupled workforce working as freelance under one common umbrella. Organization is only for the association to form a common pool for the corporate world to access the pool on need bases and is indeed more of a community. This will allow various individuals to be bound together with common corporate work ethics and platform for exchanging Ideas on a wider level. Working as Free lance would give individuals an opportunity to break free from the confinement to any single specific field and also flexibility to work on individual’s creative sense. Also, every chance of stumbling upon an innovative idea can be used in wider sense.

I'm still trying to understand the legal obligations for this to work but this looks like a very edgy option to reorganize and flash an option for many to get paid offline. Also, an online community forum of this kind looks like a very lucrative option for next generation workplace.
