success1. 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. Picky Domains

Hire another person to think of a cool domain name for you? No way, I would never pay for this. Actually, naming domain names for others turned out a thriving business, especially, when you make the entire process risk free. Picky Domains currently has a waiting list of people who want to PAY the service to come up with a snappy memorable domain name. Picky Domains is expected to hit six figures this year.

3. Doggles

Create goggles for dogs and sell them online? Ladies and Gents, 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, I think these whites are stupid.

4. Laser Monks

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. Yeah, real monks refilling your cartridges. Hallelujah! Their 2005 sales were $2.5 million! Praise the Lord. Jah Jehovah Armageddon Full Story

5. Antenna Balls

You can’t sell antenna ball online. There is no way. And surely it wouldn’t make you rich. But this is exactly what Jason Wall did, and now he is now a millionaire.

6. Fit Deck

Create a deck of cards featuring 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? Even MEND and Somali Pirates would never kidnap a HIV + person, not for any ransom in the world, but Paul Graves and Brandon Koechlin thought that someone would in fact date them, so they created a dating site for HIV positive folks last year. Projected 2009 sales are $110,000, and they hope to have 200,000 members by this year.

8. Designer Diaper Bags

Christie Rein was tired of carrying diapers around in a freezer bag. The 34-year-old mother of three found herself constantly stuffing diapers for her infant son into freezer bags to keep them from getting scrunched up in her purse. Rein wanted something that was compact, sleek and stylish, so in November 2004, she sat down with her husband, Marcus, who helped her design a custom diaper bag that’s big enough to hold a travel pack of wipes and two to four diapers. With more than $600,000 in sales for 2009, Christie’s company, Diapees & Wipees, has bags in 22 different styles, available online and in 120 boutiques across the globe for $14.99.

9. Santa Mail

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 for every letter you send to their kids? Well, Byron Reese sent over 200000 letters since the start of the business in 2001, which makes him a couple million dollars richer.

10. Lucky Wishbone Co.

Fake wishbones. Now, this stupid idea is just destined to flop. Who in the world needs FAKE PLASTIC wishbones? A lot of people, it turns out. Now producing 30,000 wishbones daily (they retail for 3 bucks a pop) Ken Ahroni, the company founder, expects 2010 sales to reach $7 million.

Yeah, I know what you’re thinking, go ahead and start that online business. Mine (a website where people will sell the mosquitoes they caught at night for N50 a piece and I will charge 30% per transaction), will be ready by next week, so you better start catching.

Have some other stupid ideas? share them and please please please, no stealing of ideas. Try to be creative.
