This is a list compiled from several sources that’s been kickin’ ’round my Evernote for a bit. It’s such a beast to cut-n-paste so I’m throwing it up here. The bulk of this was originally a post from Jon Dale although I don’t have the original URL. I just put this here hoping someone reads it, gets inspired, and then does something awesome.
Only a few of these could ever help realize my dream of Passive, Automated, Renewable, Diversified Income, but it’s still a great brainstorming tool.
Prepackaged school supplies based on the lists from the school districts
Incubator site providing office space, hosting, etc. for startups that are seed funded.

A website that you can submit your design and work with vendors to manufacture your own clothes line.
Online discount brokerage that has no closing hours and provides access to all exchanges throughout the world and handles currency and legal issues automatically.
Stamphead, where stamps can be custom made in the likeness of an avatar the user creates.

Herbal Flavored Gum. MMM…rosemary.
Church issued credit card with automatic 10% for religious tithing

Create a website for non-profits and a list of their projects/needs and a similar list for foundations. Its a central meeting place for people to look for funding from the right people.

Website where musicians can collaborate on tracks
Signs in restaurants on menus that list all the ingredients.
