If you come up with an original idea in Bali, it won't be original for long! In my experiance anybody finds a way of making money in Bali, very soon it will be copied by all and sundry. Bit like the mobile phone credit stalls, far too many now for people to make a decent living.

I mean this in the best way possible, but if I came up with a great idea for a business, the internet would be the last place I came to broadcast it. Nice idea for a thread though. Here's to hoping that someone is more helpful than me, I know I could sure use a good business idea myslef

Hello,

You really want to invest in a flying car? In Indonesia? Maybe I've been here too long (although it really hasn't been that long), but I wasn't aware they even had flying cars in the west yet. Good luck either way though, I think I'll hold off on my pre-order for the flying car. :lol:

I think the most difficult thing in Indonesia with starting a new business is actually getting clear definitions of the rules etc etc

The actual business ideas are easy to come up with

I just came across this website and I thought it might help provide some inspiration:

Springwise | New business ideas from around the world

I reckon some of the original business ideas from the past are considered lame then yet some of them are top in the market nowadays.

any advise on freelance photography service?
