More Than WE Know

Do you have a blob of an idea about a business you would like to start - maybe the start of a project that would be great if only you could get a little backing??

Well, you’re in luck.  Between now and next March, Advanta is giving away $10,000 per month to the person with the most popular business blob of an idea.

Much like an “American Idol for business ideas”, aspiring entrepreneurs enter their idea for consideration.  Readers then vote on the best ideas in a given time period. (You are encouraged to drum up cheerleaders for your ideas).  After three weeks, the ideas are narrowed down to a select eight which all compete for the $10,000 grand prize.

Registration is simple. You only have to answer three questions.  

• Describe your business.
• Describe what you would do with the $10,000 if you won it.
• Identify any questions or challenges you might face in forwarding the business.

That’s all there is to it - except for getting friends, family and other supporters to vote for you.

And speaking of voting, why not head over to Ideablob right now and vote for the first month’s finalists, one of whom will win $10,000 to further his or her idea:

• a website that lists info about candidates, issues and elections
• a you-tube like website for home buyers and sellers to connect directly
• college freshman orientation software that integrates with Facebook and MySpace
• a site that connects Peace Corp projects to Facebook 
• an Orbitz-like website for people to secure event venues (for weddings, etc.)
• a designated dog beach in Santa Monica, CA
• a rainwater collection and irrigation system for watering gardens
• a pacifier that lights up when it falls out of a baby’s mouth

Those are the finalists for this month - voting ends soon!

And, if you think your blob of an idea is as good as or better than those, then get over to Ideablob and sign up - and let me know - so I can vote for you!!
