Stupid Online Business Ideas That Worked

February 27, 2008 by Nicholas | 6 Comments

NicheGeek:

1. Million Dollar Homepage
1000000 pixels, charge a dollar per pixel – that’s perhaps the dumbest idea for online business anyone could have possible come up with. Still, Alex Tew, a 21-year-old who came up with the idea, is now a millionaire.

2. SantaMail
Ok, how’s that for a brilliant idea. Get a postal address at North Pole, Alaska, pretend you are Santa Claus and charge parents 10 bucks for every letter you send to their kids? Well, Byron Reese sent over 200000 letters since the start of thesanta claus business in 2001, which makes him a couple million dollars richer. 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 did they manage to become millionaires and have shops all over the world with that one? 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. Hallelujah! Their 2005 sales were $2.5 million! Praise the Lord.

    I have noticed that often the ideas which seem the craziest are those which make the most money. I’m trying to think up something crazy to catch people’s attention. Why not?

    The goggles for dogs, wow! It’s amazing how many millionaires are made by crazy ideas. I got to think outside the box.

    Can’t divulge my website at the moment. But, I am a web developer and have built something which will rock if I could get some marketing brains behind it to capitalise on first-to-market status. Anyone interested can sign an NCND with me and I will reveal all. Please only respond if you have run a successful online business and can actually help with marketing and strategy.
