How to get rich the smart way? Read what some creative people:
1. Million Dollar Homepage
1000000 pixels, charge is one dollar per pixel – probably the most stupid idea, every online business might be possible to reach A. Still, Alex Tew, a 21-year-old, who had the idea, is now a millionaire.
What is the idea? (From the FAQ on the website)
The idea is simple: Try to win $ 1 million (U.S.) by selling 1,000,000 pixels for $ 1 each. Therefore, “The Million Dollar Homepage”. The main reason for this approach is to pay for my undergraduate degree, because I like the idea of the degree students with huge debts. I know people who donate Student Loans 15 to 20 years after completion. This is not a pleasant thought!
Just blocks, everyone is invited to my pixels, which are available to buy in 100 pixels (10×10 pixels each). You will see the homepage is divided into 10,000 of these 100 pixel blocks (hence there are 1,000,000 pixels in total ). The reason for the sale of 100 blocks of pixels is smaller, because everything is too small to display anything meaningful.
You can create as many pixels as you like so much, some are available (see the live stats in the upper right corner of the page). When you buy pixels, you can display an image / logo listing of your choice in the space that you’ve purchased. You can also click the image on your own site. However, do not allow obscene or offensive images.
The pixels you buy will be on the website will be permanently displayed. The homepage will not change. With a portion of the money I have on the site, I guarantee to make it online for at least 5 years, but hopefully much longer. I want some kind of internet time capsule. Thus, in the long run, I believe the pixels will offer good value. You will receive a piece of internet history!
2. Santa Mail
Ok, how is this a great idea. Get a postal address at the North Pole, Alaska, you claim are Santa Claus and charge parents $ 10 for every letter you send your children? Now, Byron Reese sent over 200,000 letters since the start of operations in 2001, so a few million dollars richer.
Santa Mail on your website
Since 2002, Santa is helping to write to us more than 275,000 personalized greeting cards. Santa makes sure we use the best inheritance, acid-free linen paper for their letters of life.
As a caregiver help of Santa Claus, Santa, print their letters and then send it to the North Pole, Alaska, where a Christmas stamp and sends it on its way to his son. Therefore, the letter was postmarked and sent. (After December 16, with contacts directly from Austin, Texas, shipped to reach children at the time!).
3. Doggles
Create goggles for dogs and sell them online? Boy, that’s the stupidest idea for a business. How in the world can not become millionaires and shops around the world with it? Except me.

Yeah, real monks fill the cartridges. Hallelujah! Sales in 2005 totaled 2.5 million U.S. dollars! Praise the Lord.
5. AntennaBalls
You can not sell antenna ball online. No way. And certainly not to the rich. But that is exactly what Jason Wall did, and now he is now a millionaire.
6. FitDeck
Create a card with exercise routines, and sell it for € 18.95 online. Sounds like an idea that in a disaster for me. But former Navy SEAL and fitness instructor Phil Black last year sales of 4.7 million euros. Certainly, it pays to military coups.
7. PositivesDating.Com

8. Designer Diaper Bags
Christie Rein was wearing diapers in a bag in the freezer tired. And 34 years old and mother of three children found themselves constantly stuffing diapers for her baby in plastic bags so they do not crumpled in her pocket. Rein wanted something that was compact, sleek and stylish, so in November 2004 was sitting with her husband, Marcus, who helped a custom diaper bag that is large enough to hold a travel pack wipes and two to four layers. With more than 180,000 U.S. dollars in sales for the year 2005, Christie’s, Diaper & Wipe Bags of 22 different styles, available online and in 120 boutiques around the world for $ 14.99.
9. PickyDomains
Hiring another person, cool to think of a domain name for you? It is not possible that people pay for it. Become, in fact, the name of the domain name for the other, a thriving business, especially when the entire process risk free. PickyDomains currently has a waiting list of people who pay for the service, a snappy domain names remain unforgettable. PickyDomains should reach six digits this year.
10. Lucky Wishbone Co.
Fake missiles. But this idea is a flop stupid. Who in the world needs backups Fake Plastic? Many people, he is. Which now produce 30,000 rockets per day (including retail of $ 3 a pop) Ken Aaron, the company founder, expects 2006 sales to reach 1 million.
