With all the new mobile gadgets, with Wi-Fi and free data service, it is obvious that more and more people will consume their news and information electronically. This has been happening for some time now. Local news is still harder to come by, but you could change that with this little business start-up idea.
You could get some pre-designed portal software, blogging software or a forum to set up your portal and then write about local events, with things like this:
- Live events – like Live Jazz in the local pub,
- New Business launch – write about the company, people and products;
- Evening Classes – anything from cooking to phontography;
- Club News – what time they meet, run a prifile.
- For Sale Section – from paperclips to houses and cars
You get the idea, there are many more events you could report about. Take leaflets around to get it started and then get revenue from ad’s of local businesses, clubs, for sale ad’s, and get paid for event announcements. Have a look at your local paper that will give you some idea, what people want.
It will get you involved in many areas of your community you didn’t even know existed, get you out of the house, make new friends and earn you some money – what else can you want. One day Google may pay you some money to supply local news to them, who knows?
There is money to be made in each locality, be the first and hog the niche first. Work from home, keep it cost effective, then the set-up should be about $150/£75 and the monthly cost no more than $20/£10, assuming you have a phone, computer and broadband. ST.
