Uhhhmmm..... you just won your own contest right there. There have been a few suggestions hinting at this allready but it seemms Blatantly obvious. time is money, since you need more of it you should buy it. If you don't feel confident managing several assistants and staff find a good social person that will spend his time to clearly understand your goals and plans and find/hire/manage staff to do so. at that point the stars are the limit.
Time is the most valuable resource in the universe.
Good luck. |

buy up PI goo while its still cheap....................... after the destructible customs offices and tier 3 bc go live your pi goo will skyrocket in value
you could build the new custom offices to sell or just sell the goo to someone else that will need it to build those first few custom offices to sell.
Everytime you buy something that says "made in china" you are helping the rising unemployment in your own country unless your from china, Buy locally produced goods and help create more jobs. |

Perhaps you could try Jump Freighter production? I think the demand will defiantly go up due to the changes coming to supercaps near you. Freighter BPC packs can be used as secondary income.
Here's my reasoning:
Supercaps currently allow large alliances to wtfpwn pretty much everyone. Capitals have no chance, atm. With the coming changes, people will be more cautious throwing their supercaps around, allowing smaller alliances to move into 0.0. These alliances need transport, and they probably won't be able to run a normal freighter through null.
Ferrying supplies for a growing group of people with Carriers is going to get boring very fast. Hence, Jump Freighters.
You can even build them in hi-sec, and I doubt freighter bpo's are going to loose value anytime soon |

super easy:
ccp announced player owned customs office. there will be a massive ammount of demand for these structures with few supplyers. you will be making a high margin of profit the first 3-6 months by default.
you can sell them and you and anchor them collecting passive ammounts of isk through taxes. |

PI is about to take a major kicking.
PI change
For the first few weeks the price should spike by a huge margin on all the related products. It will take a few days just to get the new offices placed and the smaller alliances/corps and solo folk probably won't be able to get set back up for a longer period. Anyone doing PI in highsec would experience higher tax which would boost the price to compensate.
With the amount of ISK that you have - you could buy up a huge volume of the "P4" items and then sell them off when the change hits.
The other effect of this change is that folk will want to "kill off" the new offices. So there would be more cap fleets fighting over them. Unless, of course, they have so few HP that a 10man BS fleet could incap them.
Making up dread (they now have something new to bash) packs would not be to bad an idea as you already have the component BPOs and so would only need the Dread BPOs to start off. |

Several ideas, mainly related directly to ships:
For a more immediate profit:
New battlecruisers are coming, and they're going to be fast ships that can fit battleship sized weapons. What does this mean?
Buy a bunch of high quality battlecruiser sized afterburners and mwds, and battleship weapons that are popular for roaming fleets. When the new ships are released, people are going to be clamoring to buy a ton of high quality fittings for the ships to see what they can get out of them. The high damage output and supposed speed and lack of tank will ensure that they're going to be buying things to make them faster and hit harder, so it makes predicting what they're going to fit easy. Buying a lot of high-quality faction ammunition for the weapons will also turn a profit come the time.
For profit coming in winterish:
Buy a bunch of hybrid ships like the Megathron or the Rokh. Hybrids (especially rails) are supposed to be getting a buff in the Winter expansion so the prices of hybrid platforms like these should spike immediately afterwards. Even if the buff is not that high, uninformed players who only know that rails have been buffed in some aspect, and may impulse buy cheaper ships like a Ferox as well.
Along with this, the buff to dreads means that these will increase in value as well, so stockpiling some of them is recommended. Buying a lot of fighters will also turn a profit, as when all the motherships lose drones they're going to need to buy a LOT of fighters to replace them, and stock for future uses. Having a control over tons of fighters, with a new, sudden, demand for them could make a lot of money if you're selling them in the right areas.

Start a new corporation with a place holder CEO - put 1000's of researched BPOs in stations with lots of manufacturing slots available. Charge people a monthly fee to be in the corporation and use the BPOs, you can calculate a fee for the use of the BPOs as you know at any one time a person can at maximum have 11 manufacturing jobs.
The management is simply in corp members, you could also do similar services with POS lab slots and in the future with the new planetary interaction. Have a vast network of resources which people are effectively renting from you at a set monthly fee. You could naturally set up restrictions on what corp members can do or which BPOs they have access to using different methods - main risk is having dicks renting who cancel other peoples jobs for the lols. |

Advertise on the forums to get someone to build you a nice shiny website for some isk. Call it 'The Corpse Collector' or 'Burke and Hare Industries' or something like that - the idea being that you promote yourself throughout the game as the biggest buyer of corpses in Eve. If corpses have a real isk value then people will bring them to you.
So now you're buying thousands of corpses a week - so what?
Well, it looks like corpses/biomass (check the chronicles and you'll see a link) are going to become an 'ingredient' of the soldiers in Dust 514 - there's evidence to suggest that they may be one of the commodities that can be produced by Eve players for Dust players. CCP have repeatedly said that they intend to find some use for bio mass in the future.
Perhaps the best part of this is that by investing your isk and promoting what you are doing, you will (independently of CCP or other players) create a value for biomass where none currently exists. Your confidence in the future of biomass will mean that others willl want to get into the biomass market and that means that your massive collection of biomass will suddenly have huge value - a value you created by speculation.
Neat or nonsense? You decide! |

Dear all, thanks for all your wonderful ideas.
What you send me
Have gone through them and laughed hard about in game mails of people suggesting to shoot up my own (supercap) customers to boost demand and other creative thoughts. There were also many ideas on market manipulation (PLEX, LP, low cost items, etc) and many ideas requiring foresight (e.g., ICE items going up in price soon, etc etc). These are undoubtedly great ideas - but I do not feel at ease with these, as I can't verify them and might get burned.
Selected 9 top ideas contesting for the 3 prices
However, have made a shortlist of 9 ideas that are going to compete for the top 3 prices. I will send the originators of these 9 ideas a mail and ask them to elaborate their ideas in terms of:
 margin potential ("what can you earn on these items?")
volume potential ("how much of them could one sell?")
investment requirements ("what do you need to spend to get into the business?")
explaining me (in game) how it works technically (e.g., buy XYZ BPO, lock them down via mechanism ABC, rent out via 123, etc)
What the 9 top idea providers will be asked to do next
These are the 9 front runners (in order of receiving the idea, not in terms of best idea to worst idea, so all 10 content):
Transport Sheep / T2 lease (as it takes no time)
Transport Sheep / Outpost production (demand to go up as they become destructible)
Yuko Ostus / Dread production (profiting from the dread buff)
Yuko Ostus / Sovereign structure manufacturing (for small/midsized alliances returning to 0.0)
Whiteknight03 / Jump freighter production (for small/midsized alliances returning to 0.0)
Wille Sanara / Faction item (as lots of profits can be made as prices are unclear)
Tidurious / Player owned custom offices (as there will be a lot of demand on launch)
Dawn Alduin / Character trading, including PI training
Dawn Alduin / Create a web-site for my capital store (to boost my supercap pack sales)
Announcement of the winners
Will be done November 1 |

Step 1: Send Richard Branson your picture to convince him that you're his long-lost twin brother.
Step 2: Ask him to lend you a hundred million dollars.
Step 3: Buy CCP.
Step 4: Give yourself infinite ISK |

ANNOUNCEMENT OF WINNNERS
In my original post I mentioned I would award 3 prices: 1 billion ISK for #1, 500 million for #2 and 250 million for #3
Given the high quality of the ideas received I have decided to increase the price money and award 4x first prices of 1 billion ISK each to the following four ideas:
Wille Sanara / Faction item (as lots of profits can be made as prices are unclear)
Dawn Alduin / Character trading, including PI training
Dawn Alduin / Create a web-site for my capital store (to boost my supercap pack sales)
Voddick / Plaster a region with free/low tax POCOs (to build reputation and get zero work income)
And also award 250 million ISK to the following 5 ideas:
Tidurious / Player owned custom offices (as there will be a lot of demand on launch)
Transport Sheep / T2 lease (as it takes no time)
Transport Sheep / Outpost production (demand to go up as they become destructible)
Yuko Ostus / Dread production (profiting from the dread buff)
Yuko Ostus / Sovereign structure manufacturing (for small/midsized alliances returning to 0.0)
The price money has been donated in the gentlemen's and -women's wallets (winners of multiple prices obviously get double the amounts).
Thank you all for your great ideas! |
