Making money online is a presumably easy achievement, at least if you are to believe the self-proclaimed experts of the industry. What does not work IRL has seemingly every chance of making it online – and has. After some looking around I found ten really stupid online business ideas that probably has made or will make some money.
10. RedneckAndSingle.com
Living alone in the South is a feeling RedneckandSingle.com founders know all to well and have decided to do something about. This site is yet another prime example of online dating taken slightly too far.
9. MillionDollarHomepage.com
I cannot assemble a top 10 list without including the MillionDollarHomepage. You have probably heard of the 20 year old who decided to set up a website and sell a million pixels as ad space $1 per pixel. Thanks to some media coverage every single pixel was sold, resulting in $1 million turnover. The site could not look any spammier and I take it as plain luck that he even got the ad space sold.
But this was many years ago, when internet advertising still was naïve and innocent. In other words – perfect timing.
8. PetButler.com
Yet another online business idea that has been around for a while. PetButler.com offer the service of cleaning up after dogs/pets. It is not the genius of the busieness idea that has made PetButler a success, it the laziness of the pet owners.
7. SoulsCalling.com
Selling all kinds of accessories, Soul’s Calling is the spiritual type business that I cannot stand. Ribbons saying “ We’re all connected”, bracelets advising to “Reach In”, Sandals that leave words like Earth and Love in the sand.
To me it is basically ugly accessories pimped up with cheesy words. But it will probably sell.
6. LuckyBreakWishbone.com
Plastic wishbones has turned out to be quite the profit booster. LuckyBreakWishbone.com sells and distributes fake lucky wishbones for customers in need of some good fortune. It is all bogus of course but a successful bogus nonetheless. People are buying them like crazy and sales figures are expected to rise even more during these ongoing financial crisis.
5. Omegle.com
Want to chat with a complete stranger? Then Omegle.com is the place for you, and about half the nation’s sex offenders. In the chat window, no real names are given the participants, it is simply You and Stranger.
4. Kotulas.com
Flair Hair with Gray Hair and Camo Visor is one of Kotulas.com’s finest products as it solves the many problems associated with the regular toupee. Attached to a hat, the hair is stylishly visible while still discretely hidden in its seam lines. A practical yet fashionable alternative for the hairless man. Not!
3. DollarHotDogs.com
What sounds better than mail ordered hot dogs? DollarHotDogs.com cooks and sends hotdogs in the mail for one buck only. The main concern at the website seems to be to answer the question how such excellent hot dogs can cost so little. My concern is however, how the hotdogs can stay fresh in the mail and who would actually consider buying mail ordered hotdogs?
2. SomethingStore.com
Now this business idea I like. Using the element of surprise the customer can buy something at the SomethingStore.com and know what he bought only when the item is delivered. For the lonely ones or the bored, ordering a surprise gift to yourself is a perfects way to feel appreciated and pass time.
1. TotalDivaPets.com
If you think pet clothing is funny, you haven’t seen pet wigs. TotalDivaPets.com seriously sells a wide variation of wigs for people’s pets. Lacking any practical functional what so ever, these pet wigs are simply to make your dog or cat look hilariously stupid. And they do.

I found this blog when I was surfing and comparing hosting companies a while ago and it helped a lot. I had to come back and post since were on the topic of not so common business ideas because I wanted to mention that I found reliable hosting that also provides compensation. Regardless of how much I’m putting into my account I keep getting more and more out of it month after month. How’s that for unique? It even beats free hosting.
