(ThyBlackMan.com) Some people keep business ideas secret while many of us love sharing top ideas. Sharing is always better because ideas are just a bunch of thoughts, and what matters the most is how you execute them. If you have a laptop and you are in search of some good million-dollar business ideas, here are 7 ideas for you. Use any of them and make sure following the right path. By using any of these ideas, you can surely make a difference not only in your personal life but also in the world.
1. Write a book
Companies like Amazon and Apple are actively looking for writers as these companies are involved in book publishing. If you can write a book, prepare study material, or teach a new skill with a book, people like you are making hundreds of dollars every day by selling books. If you are only behind money, don’t go for this writing idea because it needs a lot of patience, curiosity to learn, and a creative flair. You can’t just read 50 books and write one by mixing up everything you’ve read. But if you can engage readers, it is one of the businesses you can start with the lowest investment possible.
With more than 1 billion monthly active users, Google’s Gmail is a gold mine of opportunities. Many small and big companies use Gmail for communication and with the arrival of G Suite, a large number of companies are using this service. So if you know computer programming and are familiar with APIs, you can start building Gmail extensions to help companies make their process easier. Even if you have zero knowledge of code, learning this skill can be very helpful in the long run.
3. Car rental service, even in the age of Lyft and Uber
If you think that local car rental service is dead because Uber and Lyft have grabbed all the opportunities, this is not true. You can still make a million-dollar business using your laptop and by providing cars on rent. You don’t need to invest money in buying vehicles, just invest some time and develop a website. Choose a less saturated market, contact taxi drivers and let them join you. Nobody would mind signing up for your deal because as long as you’ll keep giving business to them, they will keep working. All you need to do is to generate leads from your website, take online bookings and pay the driver per ride after deducting your share.
4. Accountability partner
Finding a good accountability partner is a challenge. Some people want to control everything but they fail when it comes to controlling themselves. Finally, such people look for an accountability partner who can keep them on track and make them strictly follow an ideal routine. People won’t mind paying you if you can help them stay organized. All you need to do is to make good connections and prove your skills. Once you start getting clients in your local community, you can just start this business online and you can help people living in different parts of the world.
5. Develop WordPress plugins
Around 30 percent of websites worldwide are using WordPress. If you calculate this in the figure, more than 75 million websites are developed using WordPress. The CMS allows plugins to add features to websites. For example, you have chosen a free WordPress theme for your website but you want to integrate a shopping cart, forum or chat system on your website, you will need to download a plugin. The WordPress repository has thousands of free and paid plugins but there are many problems that still remain in place and if you can develop a solution for WordPress users, you can easily sell plugins independently or through any marketplace.
6. Bug bounty hunter
Bug bounty hunting is all about taking money for finding bugs and vulnerabilities in websites, software, and web-based applications. Many big companies run bug bounty hunting programs and hire people on a contract basis. These ethical hackers look for loopholes in codes and send reports to the company. Businesses pay a fair amount of money for hunting bugs. If you know coding and white-hat hacking, this business can actually make you a millionaire, but it will surely need time because developers at such companies don’t often make mistakes in their codes.
7. Develop a product to solve your daily life problems
What are some of your biggest challenges? Your biggest problems are the ones that you face every day but can’t find a solution for. You are not alone because there are many people like you who face similar problems. Why don’t you start thinking about the problems you are facing and find ways to fix them? Even when so many guides, apps, and coaches are available, why do you still procrastinate, what makes you delay your work, why do you fail to save money? Or why do you need so much motivation to do even the easy things? It means that there is a problem which is still not being addressed and you need to fix it. Develop something to solve the problems you face and see people wanting the same solution for themselves.

Good read Corey,
WordPress caught my eye, but those are all interesting suggestions. Point is to think a little outside the box and take a chance at something. Every time I think the Internet is a maturing market, something new pops up that makes me say “why didn’t I think of that?”.
