I'm a "doer", but I'm always looking for good ideas. I'll take your ideas, and you can have 1% of the profits afterward if I implement them. Find enough guys like me, and you could actually make a comfortable living. Not sure how you'd actually implement something like that, though. No way to prove an idea was originally yours (because, realistically, somebody has probably thought of most of it before). I do like the idea of an ideas website, though. Maybe with a mechanism so other people can post theirs? Maybe with a donation mechanism... Entrepreneurs have lots of extra ideas, and the ones they don't have time to implement they post on the ideas site. If I make a million dollars off an idea there, I donate a couple grand to the original author.

The idea is for "doers" like you to take something and run with it. If you profit from it, that is good enough for me, as it validates the strength of my ideas. I don't want to receive anything from the people who do the hard work to make money from it. That is the reason for the CC license, so that someone can take an idea, profit from it, and not have to worry about lawsuits down the way. I am still trying to see if there is a better option to reassure people that they won't need to worry about me coming along and saying "Hey, my idea, throw me some cash!!!" This is especially important if someone takes an idea and has to look for finance later. You have hit the nail on the head regarding the website. In researching other websites on ideas out there, there are a crap load of sites where people put up one-line ideas, with no thought of implementation. Due to the years of work I've done creating CMS, CRM and ERP software, behind the site will be an IMS (idea management system) that hopefully will force people to take their idea through my system from "spark" to implementation. I am a strong believer in competition making us stronger. So I want to put my ideas out there to see if someone can beat me to implementation. I think that could give me extra impetus to solidly push my ideas out. The end goal (maybe) is instead of you making a million and giving 1%, is to work with me later on down the line and make 2 million together.

  I like the sound of that... I guess the challenge is to give people an incentive to post idea to the site without guarantee of remuneration. Future partnership is a strong incentive... but that implies that the "idea" guy can give added value beyond the initial idea, which may or may not be true.
