We have seen blue roses in flowershops and other single color roses but this one is in vibrant different colors. It’s called Rainbow roses, the brainchild of Dutch flower shop owner Peter Van de Werken, are colorful roses that are made by injecting die into the stem of the roses while they are still growing. This results in the color being drawn up and absorbed by the petals of the flower.

Are you a florist? Do you need a product to differentiate your shop from all of the other flower shops in the Philippines? well this might be your opportunity to be the first to offer it here in the Philippines.

As we all know, Youtube is a very popular video website on the internet and we can also make money on it too. If you are a practising professional that teach something, you can make use of Youtube to be known about your talent or ability by sharing it to everyone thru Youtube. Call it “YouTube U” The Philadelphia Inquirer in the U.S. says more and more people are turning to YouTube for demonstrations of skills they’d like to learn.

But increasingly, the video-sharing Web site is also the place to go when you want to learn something. Be it how to do the moonwalk, fix a dripping kitchen sink, perfect a smoky-eye makeup application, remove scratches from a DVD, or even fly a plane. For many looking to learn, YouTube is now how-to tube.

And for those looking to teach, the site has opened up limitless possibilities for professionals and amateurs to share their know-how.

YouTube’s fans watch more than 1 billion videos a day, up from 100 million a day when the site launched in 2005, according to spokesman Aaron Zamost. And while YouTube does not release number breakdowns for its different categories, how-to videos are second in popularity to those that are entertainment-themed, the company says.

Check this out a recycled carton made into a feeding chair for children. Not just eco friendly but very ingenious. Springwise reports of a new kid on the flat-pack furniture block, offering a portable high chair solution. Made from recycled cardboard, the Feedaway from Melbourne-based Belkiz is an easy-to-assemble, lightweight version of the traditional feeding chair. It’s designed to be used away from home, wherever baby or toddler feeding chairs aren’t available, and otherwise folded away.

Designed for infants aged up to 20 months or weighing up to 20 kilograms, the Feedaway comes with a three-point safety harness. Its non-toxic food-grade coating can be cleaned with a wet cloth. It weighs approximately one kilogram (2.2 lbs), and Belkiz claims it will last for around 30 assemblies. After that, it’s 100% recyclable.

Retailing for AUD 39.95, the Feedaway is a convenient piece of ‘take away’ toddler furniture and should fold nicely into the increasingly mobile lifestyles of parents with an eye for eco-iconic design. Belkiz is currently seeking stockists for the Feedaway in Australia, and distributors in the US and EU.

Once in a while we got a good negosyo idea while in the shower having a good fresh bath and often times we lose those great ideas before we can get out and write it down.

A company called Aquanote developed a completely waterproof notepad that allows you to write your great ideas while you’re in the shower. Water simply beads up and rolls-off this waterproof paper. It’s so durable you can even write underwater.

Do you experience one time or another you want a favorite food in a restaurant delivered to your home but they don’t offer home delivery? Here is a good negosyo idea from a story at JConline.com. When Brian Dade moved to Lafayette from Indianapolis in February, he made a sudden realization. “I thought, man, it’d be nice to get some Red Lobster or Subway delivered,” Dade said. “But all there really was around here was pizza and Chinese.” So Dade, who already owned a company called BKD Productions, decided to start the home-delivery business about three months ago with his girlfriend, Gina VanSickle.

It’s More To Your Door offers home delivery of food from 14 area restaurants — ranging from McDonald’s to McAllister’s and Don Pablo’s — for a 20 percent delivery charge. Customers can order via phone or the Web.

Dade and VanSickle run the business out of their home on Chimneylake Drive. That meant minimal startup costs, which allowed them to avoid investors and banks, Dade said.

Before they jumped into the business, Dade said he did intensive market research by passing out surveys asking residents if they’d be interested in such a home-delivery company.

Then, Dade said, he began calling area restaurants and franchises to ask permission to use their logos on the company’s Web site and fliers.

It’s More To Your Door has materials in about seven local hotels, Dade said. He said the company is doing strong business — especially on Fridays, Saturdays and during events at Purdue University.

Happy New Year everyone, it’s been a very busy the past week to start the new year right. Negosyoideas.com reports to you a review from Trendspotter Springwise over the holidays all smart negosyo ideas they covered in 2009 and selected some of what they believe will provide entrepreneurs with plenty of opportunities this 2010. Needless to say, it was a huge challenge to pick from such a wide range of innovative concepts.

Small-scale food production using membership models

The past year or two saw a huge increase in innovative, upscale mobile food purveyors working from trucks and selling everything from premium ice-cream to Korean BBQ tacos. Requiring an even lower investment, the next wave could be small-scale culinary subscription services, which allow fledgling entrepreneurs to get a foothold in the food business, and create a steady income and a loyal client base for future business activities.

Sample stores, cafes & vending machines

Sophisticated sampling—dubbed tryvertising by trendwatching.com—isn’t new. On the rise, however, are dedicated spaces that facilitate sampling by a variety of brands, attracting consumers through the irresistible offer of free goods. Following sampling stores in Spain, sampling cafes in Tokyo and sample vending machines in Belgium, we suspect this concept will spread even further in 2010.

Remote farming for consumers

According to Wikipedia, farm simulation game FarmVille has become the most popular game application on Facebook with 73.8 million active users in January 2010. Offering consumers a way to remotely control a patch of land that will actually provide them with an edible harvest is a new Italian start-up: Le Verdure Del Mio Orto, which lets anyone build an organic garden right from their web browser. As the produce grows, it’s picked and delivered to the customer’s door within 24 hours. Weekly deliveries are part of the package.

Paying consumers to promote products they use and love

As our sister-site trendwatching.com pointed out in its sellsumers briefing, selling is the new saving: a recession-induced need for cash plus an ever-growing infrastructure are fueling concepts that help ordinary consumers make money instead of spending it. One of the easiest ways to do so is by taking on the role of marketeer for products they already use and love: from promoting concerts by their favourite bands, to helping small companies launch new products.

Single-use toilet bag turns human waste into fertilizer

A potential solution to a problem that 2.6 billion people have to deal with: no access to a toilet. Designed for use sitting, squatting or standing, the single-use, biodegradable plastic Peepoo bag is lined with a urea-coated gauze layer that disinfects all waste. Used bags are odour-free for at least 24 hours and are safe for burial underground. Within two to four weeks after use, their contents are converted to high-quality fertiliser—something that’s also rare in many areas and could become a source of income and further enrichment for individuals or villages.

The first decade of the twentieth century is about to close and in about 2 days from now we welcome 2010 starting a new decade. Happy New Year to our readers and followers of NegosyoIdeas.com, in the coming year we plan to have more great negosyo idea informations and more features on the website so please do watch for it.

Here is an article from the New York Times “Endpaper: Patents”, creations patented in 2009 are sorted and classified by labels like “When Life Isn’t Exciting Enough,” “Reinventing the Wheel,” and “Department of Questionable Judgment.”

Inventions include a bacon comb, an inflatable Christmas tree, water-draining shoes and a retractable chopstick.

Innovative entrepreneurs out there maybe you’ve had an idea for an invention you’d like to patent, or maybe you’ve just identified a need that an enterprising inventor could meet. Tell us about your idea, or describe a need, large or small, that you wish a 2010 invention could address. Put them in the comments.

Merry Christmas everyone, nuche buena is almost around the corner. Here is a new trend of toy that is a hot item in other countries to fight obesity on children just playing on couch with there PSP or console games. This toy I think is a reinvention of the old toy we have in the olden days called tarak-tarak but is now colorful and with a brand name to capture the market.

Here is an excerpt from Independent News. The innovatively designed Sprinta, which requires no batteries and (to parent’s delight) is soundless, is manoeuvered via a flexible rod inserted on the top of the car which children must push along to maintain momentum.

Making the Sprinta car perform tricks requires some skill and practice, encouraging children to spend time running around and building up their proficiency with the toy. All sound effects are to be generated by the child, again engaging and encouraging their imaginations.

The interest has been high from a number of retailers across New Zealand and Australia.

Toyworld’s buyer Repeka Haurua says the market has been calling for a toy which increases activity but still appeals to kids in the five years plus category.

Gifkins, who spent 10 years and more than $300,000 of his personal savings to create the product, says if it gets just one child off the couch then it’s been worth it!

Most of this flash game developers are earning a living out of this little flash games. This is a great negosyo idea in the coming year. Here’s an excerpt from VentureBeat.

About 16 percent of those surveyed make more than $1,000 a month (the survey included 1,104 developers and publishers). The top 1 percent make more than $25,000 a month, according to the survey by Mochi Media.

That means that Flash games are becoming more than a hobbyist market, according to the San Francisco-based company, whose mission is to help Flash developers monetize their games through ads and virtual goods sales.

The numbers of developers making money is a higher percentage than other fields such as blogging or music. The company’s first Flash Games Market Survey is the first comprehensive study of the demographics behind Flash developers.

About a third of Flash developers say they monetize their games in four different ways, including running ads or enabling micro-transactions so that players can buy virtual goods, such as extra weapons or decorative clothing.

About 58 percent use ads wrapped around games; 43 percent use sponsors, and 25 percent get revenue from licensing, ads on web sites and creating custom games for brands.

The industry is relatively young. About two-thirds of developers said they started making games within the last two years, and 75 percent of game publishers started their web site game portals within the last two years, said Ada Chen, product marketing manager at Mochi Media.

Interested in selling online? online marketplaces such as eBay and Amazon are once surefire places to earn extra money or to build an online retail business. It’s not quite so simple anymore, here’s a report from the The New York Times. You may get some clues here on how to start this kind of business here in the Philippines which ebay is locally present here now.

Identify product areas that interest you, and seek a niche. Rather than sell, say, digital cameras, you might sell a specialty tripod or other accessories that aren’t already sold abundantly online.

Skip McGrath, an eBay Powerseller,, started with automatic pepper mills. Based in Anacortes, Wash., he decided to sell specialty kitchen gadgets on eBay. “They’re light, easy to ship and I’m one of the few sellers selling them,” he said. “If I had pots and pans, I’d have 200 competitors.”

Find a reliable wholesaler who offers low enough prices to generate high enough profit margins on resale. McGrath, who said he generated roughly $150,000 in annual revenue with his eBay store, buys his pepper mills from a Seattle-based wholesale dealer. Finding the right wholesaler can require an extensive search.

Many sellers, McGrath said, source their products offline, through local wholesalers or flea markets. Comparison shopping can still be done online, using sites like Liquidation.com and eBay, which offer wholesale items in bulk.

Selling on Amazon is more automated and requires less buyer interaction. The site collects money from customers and deposits it in seller accounts. In most categories of goods, eBay requires that sellers accept payment only through electronic systems, including its own PayPal system.

Amazon has no auctions — all items are sold at fixed prices — and automatically sets the shipping fees depending on the item being sold. EBay sellers can choose their own shipping fees and have more control over the look and timing of listings.

McGrath said that eBay was still the better option for selling clothes, toys and household goods. Books, music and other electronic media, he said, tend to do better on Amazon.
