You're not good enough of a sportswriter to do any of the blogging yourself, so you're going to need a lot more than 10k to pay the writers salaries for a while until the blog gets popular and becomes profitable.
Any entrepreneurs? Thought it would be something cool to discuss.
I'll start - Sports Blog: Develop the site, possibly marketing (SEO...) & maintain the site/domain name & also possibly pay writers for content.

Idea #2: Credit Union help kiosk. Can lease a kiosk for about $1500 a month. There is a huge demand for information on how to join a credit union. With over 49% of all business majors electing to major in Finance, there is a huge customer base of people who need this service.
I think there are too many of those things already, most end up being dead end links after a few months.
Screen printing.
Also, powder coating metal like gun barrels or bike parts.
Well he doesn't need proffesional writers off the bat. Just start off with 1 or two amateur or small time writer that are decent and go from there.
You dont want to spend all you have in one shot. You'd be out of business before getting started.
I got an idea, a startup biotech company devoted to developing a grow taller formula. It could get financing through venture capitalists and the demand there is huge. 99% of all men wish they were taller, and studies show that height can actually play a role in confidence and success in life.
Yeah no one is doing that. There's money to be made.
If Kori started charging a fee this place would be a ghost town and they have good writing and a good forum.
Startups with writers that no one wants to read anyhow aren't going to sustain because they don't make money.
You're talking about different things though. Free board versus a blog type site.
BTW DPG doesn't mean one of those free blogs that are rampant on the net right?
For sure - this was just something to see some ideas (good, bad and in-between).
Trying too hard - not funny
Bleacher report. Not that I want to do a sports site/blog, but that was just an idea for under 10K.
credit union smack- not funny
Actually, someone laughed at my idea. Then you thought it was funny enough to copy my schtick (trying to make a joke using percentages) but failed. Just let it go & quit responding to every damn little shot at you.
Please bring a real idea if you have them and quit trying to derail my thread. God bless you, M>S.
I thought it was so re ed that I mocked it, actually.
Moving on....
Charlie - that is a feasible idea. Lot's of things like that you can do as a startup if you get licensed, trained and the items you mentioned. Other things like that: Real estate agent, website designer, home inspector...all practical ideas
real estate wholeseller
I know a guy who made a lot of money picking up iron furniture from Mexico and selling it in the US. He had to take a flat bed once a month and he got a spot at a flea market. He made a ton of money relative to his costs.
You couldn't do that from scratch with 10K. You have to have a truck and a flatbed trailer and you have to pay for a booth at a flea market.
Then there's roasted corn. You can sell a lot of that if you can get a decent location like the ones at Cabelas.
And snowcones. Small investment, little shack, decent location. Guy in Round Rock had a tiny shack and sold cones (damn good ones) and now he has a large ice house (actually sells ice with self service dispensers and all that).
Along this line, 10k could be a good down payment on a food truck if you are so inclined.
Food trucks are wildly popular where I am at. Seems like I am seeing them in other cities too.
If you could get the truck then give someone a decent percentage to run it, you could eventually get a fleet.
Lawncare is another route.
they are growing here.
Actually I saw an article in the houston chronicle about a company that has food grocery trucks. These trucks accept foodstamps and drive around poor neighborhoods and accept delivery requests (so you can either flag them down if you see them or call up and have them come directly to your house). They had a limited food selection and they were growing exponentially (98% of their revenue came from food stamps). You could do this starting with one truck and a few neighborhoods and go from there.
Also, if you already have some of the required items (truck, trailer, etc) you could start a pressure washing company and target small gas stations. I used to work for a pressure washer, that is a racket.
An internet sports betting agency.
Dog poop removal service. Big market, endless need. Boom.
