Thank you for your feedback! I have a passion for reviving orchids. It's rewarding to me and I've just been brainstorming some ideas to apply my passion, ya know? I love orchids! And I wish I could do something with it.

You can . . . but getting paid for it is doubtful. You would be doing well to net $100 a year. I have done something like this at no charge for friends. |

I think you are asking the wrong people. Or rather the respondents are NOT your target audience.
I don't have supermarket Phals. Will I trust you with my appendiculata? Heck NO! Not even my hybrids.
Find a way to get beginners to respond. Propose the idea to those posts with "HELP" in the title.

I do not know where you are in the USA but, this might be a possibility to do business...the focus on reviving Phalaenopsis might be too limited as a business model.
But, if you have a green house, and you are near a large urban area, you could offer orchids in bloom, that you change out every month. When I lived in the San Francisco Bay Area, a friend of mine had a service where this company provided several orchids in bloom. She would have to water the plants to keep the blooms fresh. But in four weeks she would have new plants. The flowers added accent color to her decor. In my opinion, this was a monumental expense. But it made her happy.

I have also observed there is a market for vacation orchid care. This could be boarding or house visiting. A lot of people who grow orchids seem, somehow and beyond comprehension, to not spend all of their money on orchids. They take trips. Somebody has to mind the orchids while they're gone.
