Would you like to pay for business ideas?

Through my consulting practice, I happen to be exposed to, have access, and/or generate many business ideas. I realize most of them will be noted and ignored - I have neither capacity nor interest to pursue.

Would anyone be interested in learning more about those ideas, to put them into execution? And pay for this (say, $25/month)?

(That might require me to put a little more structure/effort into problem/idea definition.)

    It depends on how well you will pitch your ideas.
    I mean, if the report will contain market research, competitors research, possible first steps to validate these ideas, etc. it will have value to pay for.

    For example, https://trends.vc/ takes payments for market research articles.

    Here's one service that does this - https://nugget.one/ideas

    There was a product like that... can't remember the name of it... I got on their email list but they never were able to provide a business idea worth paying for... I don't know what happened to it. I think they also provided some master mind groups also...

    Ideas are plentyfull... getting them to work is another thing ...

      I think you're referring to this - https://nugget.one/ideas. I used their paid service for some time but didn't find any ideas i can resonate with.

    I already have like 3-5 ideas that I could start working on right now, but my main business is taking most of my time.

    I think the same applies to most IndieHackers, we all have too many ideas.

    How about idea is free, full market report with example customers, how to validate, how to reach etc. is a paid upgrade?

      There is one product are IH that does that, really deep analysis.. based off vc backed business, finding gaps for IH

        I subscribe to that but I am suggesting a slightly different model here, where you see the basic ideas for free, but when you find one you like, you buy the upgrade $49 $99 (?) full information pack about that idea with a rough business plan, market research etc.

    I've observed that the best ideas are already proven, and you take that and put a twist on it, like niche focused, business sector focused, etc. Brand new ideas are often expensive to market and they end up dying.

    If they also came with a first paying user perhaps.

    You should probably repeat the pricing in the options and the post, it's barely noticeable... people will probably vote ignoring the price.

      I second that. Almost all ideas you come up with somebody else already had. The hard thing is to realize it and make it a thing.

        Second that x2 - Ideas worth nothing without execution. You won't be able to deliver the same result given that your team is diff.
