Number two on the Entrepreneur list of hot trends is Feeder Businesses:
“Eat off the big guys’ plate. Trend agency Trendwatching.com coined the term “feeder business” for companies that feed off giants like Amazon or eBay. Instead of trying to compete with Match.com (so the feeder mind-set goes), why not start a business to help Match.com’s clients write better online ads, take “glamour photos,” or make sure that potential Mr. Right really is who he says he is? Other thriving feeder industries include eBay drop-off stores and eBay software. Chew on this: How could you feed off Google? Starbucks? Wal-Mart?”
