 | Well i allready have a business (foundation).
Im one of the owners of a youth centre. We keep the youth of the streets and we do that for free.
The only money we make is from selling second hands stuff like tables and chairs and from the drinks we sell in our bar/cafe.
We are going to use our resellers account that we get here to offer free webspace to other foundations.
Foundations dont have any money. Just like us, we have a year budget of 1200 euro. And we need that for the whole year.
I guess you have the dream to become a miljonair ones or something.
Well i guess everybody has that.
But i think... i get this space for allmost nothing (50forum posts) then why wouldnt i give it away to make the world a better place.  |

he he he
But not 100% since that someone maybe doesn't have a hosting or doesn't know any html programming :-)
Then that someone can do it together with me :-) 50 : 50
or should I say 80 : 20 :-)) |

 | 50+ site Why don't you make a site for "old" people, let's say 50+.
Tell them on the site, how to use a PC and a mobile phone.
Offer then some "cheap" PC's, mobile phone's and books about it.
Give them a forum to talk about it, and don't forget your Paypal button so they can donate some money.
Believe me, if you want the money, get it from the 50+ people, they have some of it.
Give them a chatchannel too so they can talk there and meet eithother.
Post some old people shit on the forums and let them talk about it.
Offer "cheap" old people vacations where they can travel with other old people in a bus or something.
If you want to make money, you can find it there.
Make a "old" people dating site, there are some singles between them.
They want a partner, but they don't want 20 year old people to tell them on the site how horny they are. So you need profiles you can ban.
A friend of mine made a page like that 2 years ago in the Netherlands.
He is making about 1250 euro a month with it now.
Those people do donations to your site if they like it.
Make your grandfather a moderator and let him tell it his friends.
Maybe you will do something with this, maybe you won't.
It's your choise.
Good luck anyway. |

 | I think your right.
How older the people, how less they know, how more you can learn them.
And the change that they are lonely could be even bigger.
@rusty: Yes they could give there "good" ideas, im not going to be a concurent of a friend, neither is he. The 50+ page i know is in dutch.
And i think if more people will make such a page, they can work together.
They could organise vacations together. How more old people in a hotel, the better. |
