Top 7 Start Up Business Ideas for 2011 By Jason Robert King             The beginning of a new year can mean a new start for many of us and a great way to create a new start is to bring to life one or more new start up business ideas. There's numerous opportunities around for new businesses at the moment so I've created my own top 7 list for 2011. Whether you use a start up business idea from this list or think of one of your own it doesn't matter. The intention is to inspire you to create something new... Sports Nutrition - as people become more health conscious sports nutrition is becoming more and more popular. It's ideal to sell online and it's consumable so your customers will repeat buy from you over and over. Accounting Services - many small businesses are expected to start in 2011 so why not cater for them. They'll all need part time accounting and bookkeeping services from someone, it may as well be you. Virtual Assistant - this is ideal as a home based start up business idea. Small businesses like to outsource some of their day to day tasks and they're doing it more and more. Why not work from home doing these tasks for a number of different businesses.   Adland Digest Sponsor Message VACATION SPECIAL Plan your vacation with us! Business or for Pleasure!

Requiring little initial investment it's one of my favorite start up business ideas for 2011. House Building - in the UK at least there's been a shortage of housing for years now. With the housing crash last year not nearly enough houses were built making the problem worse. People still need new houses and 2011 could be the year to start building. Solar Equipment - with energy prices rising yet again more people than ever are purchasing their own solar panels, usually to heat their water. In the UK people are even being paid around twice the going rate to put electricity back into the grid. This could be a big growth area for 2011. Event Planning - if you have a talent or passion for organizing weddings or parties then this could for you. With the average wedding cost in the UK being about £23,000 we're not shy in spending a lot of money on events. This is another potential home based business idea too. Ok so that was definitely a diverse range of start up business ideas if I ever saw one. I hope it helped inspire you a little to create something new in 2011. Why not add these ideas to a mind map and start brainstorming your own start up business ideas.   About the Author: Jason is a freelance Software Engineer who is a keen blogger, has run a number of online businesses and is also in the property letting business.

Every such shriek of joy that sends through an average citizen is a covetous asset for a firm. This is that for which they invest millions of money and countless research hours: to make miracles in ordinary lives, through a product. After due research about the market and keen analysis on what product will thrive and what adaptations has to be made, from bell pins to butter cups, plans on research are made. One successful product means there are thousands of failed, erred ones behind it! If you have put that successful idea into implementation and are all set to launch that product into market, there are a few things you must know pre and post the launch. First and foremost you must be clear about the product that you are making and you must have a clear vision about the product. Before the launch you must define the target market and should be ready with a marketing plan and platform. You must make sure the product is thoroughly tested and tried before it goes out into the market. ERP set up, vendor qualification and selections, and package design are important aspects of pre launch that forms important part of product launch. You must have a clear idea about the launch of the product along with the marketing and advertising channels. Once you have decided on how you will make the launch of the product, you need to define sales and distribution channel for the product. Then the firm has to cross a quagmire: patents. A thorough patent search should be made to verify that the product or the idea does not resemble the intellectual innovations of another company. This falls within the company's "freedom to operate" (FTO). The following are a few points that controls patents: Patent protection is only territorial A patent expires in twenty years The patent is not valid outside the domain of the main business. During the lifetime of the patent, a maintenance fee must be paid. After the expiry of the patent, the product falls to public domain. With this research, planning and manufacturing comes promoting. The new product has to be launched as it creates faster time to market and faster time to profit. With an effective launch the product reaches all sections of people both interested and not interested. The company can better their organizational ability and concentrate on the new product line. Even if the success rate can be ascertained only later an effective launch is a conspicuous make over to the company!   About the Author: Vijay Koragappa, has been in the finance, health and insurance industry for long and would like to share her ideas and experiences with netizens through article writing.
