Seth Godin is a pretty well known marketer and he’s got a great blog. There he regularly posts insightful tips/articles/news regarding marketing or just business in general. Recently I’ve noticed that he’s been hinting at some business opportunities that could be profitable:

• Create a niche “interesting videos” site - Sort of a TV Guide for YouTube. Like Seth says:
  

  What we need are tiny, specialized sites that obsess about specific industries. Is there a good video every day about how to do better real estate sales? If there isn’t, there soon will be. Or for heart surgeons?

  I actually found that pretty interesting and might do something like that soon - If you’re interested in joining forces with me let me know.

• Solve a common problem - “Everyone is lonely”. The first thing that came to mind was the “dating” niche because that’s a very lucrative market. But another idea could be to organize a seminar for some niche market to help people network and create joint ventures. Or create a social site like MySpace or Facebook. Either way, if you have a product (or a service) that solves a common problem you have a solid business. You can make some nice money selling a solution.
• Start a blog - Even if it’s just one post. You can then just update it as you learn more. Not a bad idea - you might even be inspired to write a second post, and a third… You definitely don’t have to post multiple times per day in order to have a successful blog.

What do you think? Do these business opportunities sound interesting to you? Or do you maybe already have a solid business that you’re working on? (it’s never good to get distracted by “shiny” opportunities that take your focus off the thing you have set your mind to).
