And, today, I have tracked down the top five dumbest ones.
Getting reach the smart way? Here is what some very creative people have come up with.
5. The Lucky Wishbone Co.
This has to be the dumbest idea in the world. Who would ever want to buy a fake plastic wishbone? Well, remember your crazy aunt? You know the one. We all have them, and they must be buying them in bulk because this company is making huge profits. Each wishbone retails for $3.00 and they now are producing over 30,000 wishbones daily. You have got to see it to believe it.
4. FitDeck
How do you decided to wake up one morning and create a deck of cards featuring exercise routines and sell it online for $18.95?What is the world coming to? The creator of FitDeck– former Navy Seal and fitness instructor, Phil Black, has already reported sales of $4.7 million… all that for a dumb idea.
3. Doggles
Yes, I said doggles. How in the world do you create goggles for dogs and sell them online and make millions? This has got to be the dumbest idea in the history of mankind. I almost forgot; they have shops all over the world. An international provider of goggles for dogs…all I can say is wow.
2. SantaMail
Try this for a brilliant idea. Get a postal address at North Pole, Alaska, pretend to be Santa Claus, and charge parents $10 for every letter you send to their kids? If you are thinking about running out and doing that, then you are to late. Byron Reese has beat you to it. He has sent well over 200,000 letters since the start of the business in 2001, which makes him a few million dollars richer. Full Story
1. Million Dollar Homepage
How is this for a business plan: get 1,000,000 pixels, charge a dollar per pixel, and become a millionaire. That is exactly what 21-year-old, Alex Tew came up with and now he is a millionaire. That has got to be the dumbest idea for business on the web, but it worked.
