Idea 1: Media Production company
Myriad Media is my LLC based out of New Jersey.http://myriadmedianj.com We create content for small businesses in hopes of driving more internet traffic to their sites/pages, bringing in more customers to their store, and developing their brand. Eventually we would like to be able to pursue creative projects such as short films, traveling documentaries, cinematic trailers or promos, and more. I would like to take what we have now and turn it into an established company that gets more consistent work and has a complete legal structure, hire our first employees that aren’t freelance workers, and produce creative content. I think there are a few ways to make this project interactive and sharable. My strongest idea is to document the exact steps and growth that I can capture and share the different physical and digital media that we are responsible for.
Idea 2: DIY “more modular” computers
I had a pretty random idea that stemmed from my interest in computers and building computers. From building computers I learned that people have the belief that building a computer is much more complicated than it is. The reality of computers is that they typically have around a dozen parts and components/peripherals that make them functioning computers. It is easy to understand how each part contributes to the bigger picture but it is hard to find parts that are compatible with all the other parts in the system. It was from this realization that I thought of the possibility of making computer-building kits that included parts that were more like Legos, blocky and simple, rather than flashy and catered to enthusiasts. I think that with the right plastic housings and coverings on all things unnecessary which are mostly on the motherboard, there could be much simpler computer parts. With that I would want to make a how-to pamphlet included in the different kits and ultimately develop a super-simple DIY computer kit that kids could put together from scratch and interact with when plugged into a monitor and keyboard. If this could be done relatively cheap then it would be a great way to teach kids how computers work in a fun way, or maybe be a cheaper alternative to buying big brand names for adults. I’m not entirely sure how I could do this and what exactly would be involved but it’s a nice thought.
Idea 3: Watch fanatics site/social media page
I am very interested in entrepreneurship, business management, and content creation. An idea I had related to this utilizes some skills that I have, but it is very abstract right now as I am not entirely sure how I would do it. The idea is to make short cinematic promotions about higher-end watches that just display the given watch and then links to where you could buy it. This would be something grounded mostly in social media as I would see it being a more review based site rather than a site that is trying to sell you something. If I were to make content I would see it being primarily product photography shots and then short clips of the products that are about 15-45 seconds long. Ideally the revenue would come from ads linked to watch selling websites run on the pages.
