    It is a list. NOT exhaustive. Not useful. In fact, POINTLESS.

    I'd create a list of 1001 reason why it is useless, but, I ran out of ink.

      Why do you think its not exhaustive. How do you describe exhaustive list.

    Sorry to bust your chops here, but I'm not sure what you expect anyone to do with this list?

    It looks like you simply thought up a list of random ideas, and are trying to pass them off as insightful business ideas?

    You make it sound so easy to just pick any idea and start a business.
    Sure, I guess any of them can be a business idea. But there's not much here that's useful for the average person.

    I won't go through what's wrong with each item on this list (it would take me far too long), but let's just start by knocking out a few entire sections...


    =>BEVERAGES SECTION/BUSINESS

    First of all, if you want to make any real money, it costs money to run a manufacturing plant to produce most of these products. Then there's the vendors and suppliers for all your raw materials and packaging. Plus your distribution channels and marketing aren't free, either.

    Also, here in America, we have what's called the FDA. And if you start selling consumable products to more than just your neighbors down the street, without jumping through all the hoops of government regulations, people in black SUV's with automatic rifles show up at your door to shut you down.


    =>TOILETRY SECTION/BUSINESS

    We still have the cost of manufacturing, health regulations, and distribution.


    =>AGRIC TECHNOLOGY AND DEVELOPMENTS BUSINESS

    Same as the beverage section above, for any of the consumables and/or livestock.

    Sure, I can own a few chickens and sell eggs to my neighbors, with no problem. But try to scale up (or sell any meat products) without Govt. approval and random inspections... and here come those guys in the black SUV's with machine guns, again.


    Some of the other ideas on your list may be more plausible. (the one's that don't require too much govt. regulation) But even many of those have associated costs, that don't make them feasible for the average person.

    In reality, other than a couple of the service industries on this list; most of this list is just not useful for the average person, in the real world.
