How to get rich the smart way? Read what some creative people did :
1. Million Dollar Homepage
1000000 pixels, charge a dollar per pixel - which is perhaps the dumbest idea for online business anyone could have possible to reach a. Still, Alex Tew, a 21-year-old who came up with the idea, is now a millionaire.
2. PickyDomains
Hire another person to think of a cool domain name for you? There is no way people pay for it. Actually, naming domain for others was a booming business, especially when you make the entire process risk free. PickyDomains currently has a waiting list of people who want to pay the service to reach a quick memorable domain name. PickyDomains is expected to hit six figures this year. Full Story
3. Doggles
Create goggles for dogs and sell them online? Boy, this is the dumbest idea for a business. How in the world they managed to become millionaires and have shops all over the world with that? Beyond me.
4. LaserMonks
LaserMonks.com is a for-profit subsidiary of the Cistercian Abbey of Our Lady of Spring Bank, an eight-monk monastery in the hills of Monroe County, 90 miles northwest of Madison. Yeah, real monks refilling your cartridges. Gosh! Its 2005 sales were $ 2.5 million! Praise the Lord. Full Story
5. AntennaBalls
You can not sell antenna ball online. No way. And surely not would make him rich. But this is exactly what Jason Wall did, and now he is now a millionaire. Full Story
6. FitDeck
Create a deck of cards with exercise routines, and sell it online for $ 18.95. Sounds like a disaster idea to me. But former Navy SEAL and fitness instructor Phil Black reported last year sales of $ 4.7 million. Surely beats what military pays.
7. PositivesDating.Com
How would you like to go on a date with an HIV positive person? Paul Graves and Brandon Koechlin thought that someone, so they created a dating site for HIV positive last year. Projected 2006 sales are $ 110,000 and the two hope to have 50,000 members of its two-year mark.
8. Designer Diaper Bags
Christie Rein was tired of wearing diapers in a freezer bag. The mother of 34 years of age, three found herself constantly stuffing diapers for her infant son into freezer bags to avoid wrinkles in your bag. Rein wanted something that was compact, sleek and stylish, so in November 2004, sat with her husband, Marcus, who helped design a custom diaper bag that is large enough to hold a travel pack of wipes diapers and two to four. With more than $ 180,000 in sales for 2005, Christie's company, Diaper and Wipees, has bags in 22 different styles, available online and in 120 boutiques worldwide for $ 14.99.
9. SantaMail
Ok, how's that for a bright idea. Get a postal address at the North Pole, Alaska, pretend you are Santa Claus and charge parents $ 10 for every letter you send to your children? Well, Byron Reese sent over 200000 letters since the start of the activity in 2001, making it a couple million dollars richer. Full Story
10. Luckily Wishbone Co.
Fake wishbones. Now this stupid idea is destined to flop. Who in the world needs wishbones Fake Plastic? A lot of people, it turns out. Now producing 30,000 wishbones daily (they retail for $ 3 a pop) Ken Ahroni, the company founder, expects 2006 sales to reach $ 1 million.
