Need Website Ideas

It would seem I'm running out of website ideas, usually I get dozens of them, but lately I got nothin'. Doesn't even have to be an entire idea, maybe just a little chunk.

In the past I've had about 7 websites they all sucked though and I always end up making another one.

Anything goes, except blogs, I hate blogs with a passion, hate reading them, hate writing them. Yes, I've actually tried to write a blog--very painful.

This is because I'm more into the actual web building then writing mounds of content. Probably should try and think of some sort of service.

Thank you to all who reply.

EDIT: Not looking to sell anything really, unless it costs me a lot of money. I can write content, but I have trouble doing it on a daily basis.

Good luck dude, content is one of the most important parts of websites, if you hate writing it, that's probably why your previous sites haven't done so well.

Websites need a reason to exist, otherwise they're just fluff. What do you want to set out to do? provide a service? sell something? resell something? provide information? Discuss something with like minded people? etc etc... If you clarify that kind of thing it might make coming up with an idea a bit easier...

Why not find someone who loves to write the content but can't do the coding? Then all you have to do is the part that you like.

waffles is right... Sponsor someone who writes pretty well, someone who needs a real domain and hosting and dont now the deep-end of site design... Then you can have him update contents for you, and you can arranged something with these personas... they love to write, you love to build, perfect pair.... LOL!

I think that in order to be successful you have to be really passionate about your idea. The building phase is too long and difficult to last long with something you aren't that interested in. So what you need to do is find someone who is passionate about something but doesn't know how to build it.

There's an idea: Build a site to connect people with ideas with developers who could make them work. Not your same old freelance auction site, but a matching of idea people and web developers.
