*Here are 5 ideas that at the time people probably though “what the heck is
he/she thinking” but today wish that they would have thought of it
themselves.*

*1. Million Dollar Homepage* (www.milliondollarhomepage.com)
1000000 pixels, charge a dollar per pixel – that’s perhaps the dumbest idea
for online<http://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/886134-web-the-5-stupidest-ideas-ever-that-actually-worked/#>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. Santa Mail* (www.santamail.org)
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 the business in 2001, which makes him a couple million
dollars richer.

*3. Famous 25* (www.famous25.com)
Based on the fact that anyone can be famous these days just by getting
exposed on the internet in a very bizarre situation, these kids decided to
build a pretty bizarre (i'd say stupid) website and "sublet" its
bizarreness for one dollar to people who want to get famous or make
something get famous. BIZARRE!

*4. Doggles* (www.doggles.com)
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.

*5. AntennaBalls* (www.antennaballs.com)
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.
