    Why? He's stolen them from other people.

    Perhaps he's hoping to see some new ideas he can steal.

    I haven't stolen any ideas. Labelling me a thief isn't helpfull. Just makes you sound bitter.

    :D

    18. Cool Flashcards
    Flashcards are used in schools, and are a great tool for educating, and for improving memory skills. Typically they are purchased pre-printed, and can become costly (especially for schools who would need to buy many packs for each class, and usually end up creating their own which is time consuming to say the least)

    My solution: A CD of ready to print flashcards, I've already created a few packs, animals, fruits, colours etc and an easy to use template for creating unquie designs.

    19. Bonsai Tree Kit
    The kit would simply be the tree seeds, and instructions for their growth in either a PDF or perhaps a video.

    20. Prankster
    A jokers tool kit of practical jokes.

    21. Rent A Space for Bikes
    Not a product but a service. If you live near a train station, and have an empty garage or garden space, then rent out the space to people who take train to work, but who drive to the train station (I know someone who does this). Instead, they could ride to the train station, and leave their bike with you 'to collect on their return journey. This would save them paying parking fees, save them fuel, and help them keep fit.

    22. How To Make Money eBook
    An extention of what i'm doing here. Listing various ways to make money, and providing resources that are available online, but in one easy to find location.

    23. Passive Income Challenge (Business in a Tin)
    Leading by example. The passive income dream is one thats hard to believe, but it is possible to create an income with very little work involved (there is a lot of work involved at the beginning, but passive income is the income it generates for years after the hard work is done).

    24. Zombie Tag
    A game. It revolves around printed magnets. You infect someone by placing these on their car. You gain points for the lenght of time they go unnoticed by the 'infected' driver.

    25. Answer Machine Messages
    Humorous answer machine messages. Simples

    5 to go....Then maybe I'll create sales pages for each product idea, or maybe the packaging.

    26. Love Is A Mistape
    This product is an A3 Poster & Mixtape CD.

    Either the buyer, or the recipient writes their favourite 'meaninglful' tracks in the spaces provided, duplicating those tracks on the custom CD.

    27. Reward Charts
    I've seen these in the shops where they tend to be the use once, throw away variety, which is kind of wasteful. (I didn't say the product ideas had to be original, take a product already available, and improve it).

    My Reward Charts
    A CD containing printable Reward Charts for all occasions, potty training, cleaned their plates, dressed themselves reward charts etc.

    Reward Charts can come in different colurs for boys and girls.

    28. Audio/Video CD for Pets
    Pets get stressed when left on their own all day. So distract them with our Audio/Video CD for Pets.

    29. Sex Roulette
    Get your sex parties off with a bang. Sex Roulette - It's a combination of Spin The Bottle, and Truth or Dare. An interactive video is played, this decides your fate, select a card from the pack and perform the task set, fail and drink a shot as a forfeit.

    30. Marketing Matters Package - Marketing Kits
    Got a product or business idea. Going it alone. Spend time on your business, and let the Marketing Matters Package take care of the marketing side. It's a marketing kit that tie's in offline (direct mail) and online (social media) marketing, directing traffic to your sales page.

    Done it! 30 Product Ideas in 30 Days (less actually).

    Thanks for watching, and for the comments. Yes, even the negetive ones. :p.

    Guys, nowhere did I say the ideas had to be original, that notion came from your own small minds.

    Labelling me a thief, accusing me of stealing ideas, childish and naive, and in no way distracts me from my mission.

    (With that reasoning, the Apple Macintosh computer is a stolen idea. MS Windows was also created off the back of another OS. You're being naive and kind of childish.

    With that being said, continue, it's kind of amusing. I'm trying not to judge you.

    Next: To expand on these ideas, and see which ones can be turned into products.
