Side Idea: Car manufacturers could possibly twist this idea as a method to reach the student market. Target early adopter students, offer them a heavily discounted or free new model car with the condition that the car is detailed with extensive advertising of the car/brand. You could possibly even wrap this idea up into a competition or promotion to give away a car or three during launch. I would imagine someone that just won a car or was offered a significant discount would be telling all their friends and driving the car around campus, to parties, everywhere, and the car would be a roving advertisement providing significant exposure and brand recognition.

I'm also a young Entrepreneur and I'm based in the US. I'm always looking for more entrepreneurs out there to connect with, learn from, and read about. I look forward to learning more...By the way, judging by your "free business" ideas, you and I have a very similar taste in books. I'd highly recommend "Jump start your business brain" by Doug Hall.

I'll check out that book you recommended and may add it to my to-read list, which I must admit is getting rather huge! So do you have any projects running at the moment Dan? Yaro Hi Dan,

Thanks for dropping by and good to hear from you. I’ll check out that book you recommended and may add it to my to-read list, which I must admit is getting rather huge!

So do you have any projects running at the moment Dan?

Some projects I've "started" I've had much fun designing a website for but never carried through with new content. I have good intentions but often a lackadaisical approach after the site has been built. YoungActivist.com is a good example of this. The more serious projects that I've actually made money with and stuck at for a while include - web hosting and design (where all good young web entrepreneurs seem to start), an English tutoring school with an office with four teaching rooms in downtown Brisbane, and of course my current projects Yaz.com.au, BetterEdit.com and Student-Marketing.com.au. Plus this blog too. How about yourself? Yaro Hi Nev,

I felt it touched on concepts raised in "The Tipping Point" by Malcolm Gladwell (using motivated early adopters to spread concepts quickly). Come borrow it from me some time! :) Great podcast Yaro.

I'm finding the Dick Smith story is a quick read so I'll have that finished soon enough. Thanks for the props too. Yaro Hey Will,

I first started with a CD Creation business, then web design (like everyone else), then my first online business. From there I did stock, curb-side selling, worked jobs, more online businesses, a few blogs and real estate. I have never had a single "claim to fame" as yet, but I have made lots of money doing things here and there. I sell my notes, take surveys and a million other small things to generate income also. -Nev Yaro,
