Certainly not email, that's been done to death, and people are loyal. File hosting is pretty saturated, too, and people might abuse your bandwidth that way.

What language(s) do you work in? My gut wants me to say PHP/MYSQL but maybe that's just what I had for lunch. If you could make something that captures a screen shot of a URL as it's rendered, there are a few other services that do that, but they aren't so well known. I don't know how hard that would be to do, but I think there's less competition.

Half the windows I have open right now are Notepad++ tabs, with a paragraph or two of something I need to remember, something I need to check, old code I took out of a page, but might need to bring back later. I don't like saving 20,000 text files, cluttering up my local filesystem, so I might leave a tab open for three days until I'm done with it. Every now and then I wish I had saved a file.

Google nailed email and calendars, but you could make an online note pad. That should be really easy in any language, and it's something I'd use a lot. Can't speak for anyone else here.

The people in the house next door have a dog that was barking all night long, so I think I've used up all my good ideas for today. But go look around the coding forums and see what people keep running into trouble with. Don't waste your time solving their problem, making a page, and linking to it, but that should give you some ideas what people want right now.

That's only true when you have something to promote. I think our friend here is asking how to improve his site so the visitors he pulls in wind up sticking around.

Why not offer a free course in something. Build up a 4 part course on [insert cool course topic here] and post links introducing the free course. When the visitors arrive at your site to sign up for the course - there should be a well marked signup box. You then autorespond the course over 4 weeks.

If you have an interesting course topic that relates to the business services you offer, you can gain clients based on their perception that you are the expert in a particular field. Example: "Basic SEO" course will bring in customers looking for SEO.
