My Three Business Ideas

1) With drones becoming more popular, I have an idea to start leveraging the possibilities with drone footage in multiple different markets. The basic concept is to sell drone footage after being edited and formatted in a professional manner to anyone who would benefit from owning such footage. For example, one of our primary customers could be real estate agents. We would go out to their properties, film plenty of footage around the house as well as inside the house. This could be a huge selling point for real estate agents since sometimes pictures can't quite capture the essence of the property. We might also target this service to dealerships or private car owners looking to sell their vehicle. We would put together a high quality video of the car with the drone, showing all angles as well as some rolling shots. This could easily make a potential buyer fall in love with the car after seeing what it really looks like from the outside when driving.

2) My next idea ties virtual reality to the restaurant industry. In this one of a kind restaurant, customers put on a set of VR goggles upon arrival and are immersed in an experience that is much more than just food. For example, if the restaurant is one with a focus on sushi, the customer would be served by Japanese chefs while looking around downtown Tokyo. Every inch of what they see should be taken directly from the place we are attempting to imitate, therefore giving the customer the feeling of being taken to Japan and enjoying the food as if he were there himself.

3) Being someone who buys or sells cars on Craigslist often, I have an idea that would aid the average person in buying a used vehicle from a private owner. Whenever a lot of my friends go to check out a car, they will often take me or someone else that is at least fairly familiar with how cars work. This person will advise the buyer on the pros/cons of the car they are interested in when they go check it out in person. A more experienced person will know what type of questions to ask, what the answers they give you really mean in terms of financial cost, and other related information that is not only helpful when buying a used car, but sometime crucial. However, sometimes you might not have access to a friend with this type of knowledge/expertise or they just might not be available when you need them to be. My app would provide you with a list of people in your area that are available to come check out a car with you and provide their insight, for a small fee. Some mechanic shops offer this, but you would be paying $100-200 for that service, which might be much more than the average person is willing to pay (especially if they are checking out multiple cars). The "specialists" that you are provided within the app would probably range from $25-$75 depending on the car, location, and time needed. Our app would take a small fee (3%) per transaction.
