Best small town business idea for online gamers

I think this may be the best idea for a small town small business for those who are proficient online gamers. Springwise New Business Ideas profiled SynthTravels, a new business offering guided tours of online virtual worlds.

If you’ve heard of Second Life or World of Warcraft, but didn’t know how to begin or where to go or what to do, why not let a real person act as tour guide and show you around? That’s the idea of this business.

If you are experienced with virtual worlds, this is a business or sideline you could operate from anywhere you can get online. You could set up your own business, or possibly sign on with an existing firm. Different niches Springwise mentioned include parents and business branding executives.
