Today turned out to be a day of opportunities as I happened upon two new possible projects:

  1. I think I mentioned that I work in the betting industry… well my office has a number of people who fancy themselves as “tipsters”. For those of you who don’t know, a tipster is someone who advises what bets to place and how much to stake. Most tipsters charge a monthly fee for access to their tips. One of the guys has been offered a deal to put his tips on an existing tipping site and to be possibly paid for this. I suggested he should set up his own site meaning full control and 100% of the revenues. I then offered my services of course! So we’re going to work on a membership site for him to post his tips, with subscriptions via PayPal. I’ll take a percent of the revenue and I’m also going to suggest I take any affiliate sign-ups to bookmakers. He has a nice niche so I think it could be quite successful with a little promotion. I’ve just been doing some searching for a script and this looks quite good - anyone used it?
  2. I got home from work to find an e-mail from an online associate floated the idea of setting up a paid members site - the idea is in its’ infancy but sounds like it could be workable - watch this space for any updates.

The beauty of both these projects if they happen is that they will provide recurring monthly incomes - something none of my current sites do at present with any kind of certainty.

All in all, a promising day. Now I just need to make them happen!
