I used to lead Counter Strike 1.6 teams in my teens- I often reflect on how that was some of my early leadership "training".
Good memories of motivating my teams of 15/16/17 year olds to get online at 6/7am in the morning to work on our skills before school, and for epic days during the summer.
One email per week sent is an ad (on a random day). Build up as much data about each user as you can which you can then offer up to advertisers. E.g. Email all women who like jeans with a sponsored pic.
$lowXX to remove ads.
Also offer backup service for small additional fee.
Partner with a service like blurb to send Instagram photo books to users of their old pics. Perhaps suggest the images that should be used in a book?
My wife and I own a digital agency (deerdigital.com). We found a pain within the agency, built a product around it, and 6 months later we have a new start-up that has a few hundred paying customers and is growing about 7% week on week (gathercontent.com).
We decided to continue with the service business by giving more responsibility to employees, and having one of them buy in and becoming the CEO. We're no longer involved in the day-to-day ops and meet once or twice a year for high-level strategy planning. Best decision ever.

Ah, simpler times.
