I've had a few ideas that keep popping back into my head. Unfortunately, as I mentioned in the rental's post, they probably aren't the best use of my time. So here is one of them.
I have 2 big dogs that destroy toys in about an hour. Yet, they are my dogs and I constantly buy them toys every where. Their toys range from $2.99 to $7.99. If I ever see toys on sale I usually load up on them. Last week I got tired of paying $3-$5 a toy so I went online and found a wholesale dog toy store and bought a crap load of toys in bulk that will hopefully last my dogs a full year. Prices were $1-$3 per toy and free shipping.
This led my to research a dog toy monthly subscription site. My numbers were $20 a month, 4 toys. Profit around $10/mo per subscriber. 100 subscribers equals $1000/mo profit. Not much money in it.
300 subscribers, $3000/mo is decent income. You will ship 10 orders a day. So it's probably a 1 hour a day job and you make $36k/yr. Not bad.
I did some research and found a 3 other sites doing this. They probably aren't making that much money because they only send 1 toy a month and are around $15/mo. I think most owners would want more than 1 toy per month.
So maybe someone here would like to run with this. Maybe make it a $30-$40/mo subscription by upselling or adding treats. Then you could get to the $50k/yr range with 100-200 customers.
