Stupid brilliant ideas you envy
There is just something about the world wide web that makes people do very creative things. I still remember watching Ally Mcbeal on TV and was disgusted the dancing baby. But it turn out to be such a big hit around the net. Maybe I don’t have the creative sense to appreciate.
Nowadays, these brilliant stupid ideas makes money too. Tons of money. The most classic and effective one has to be the Million Dollar Homepage. The idea is so simple and daring that NO ONE would predict its success. Now, every new guy who heard about this website will go from laughing off the idea, to “are you sure?” to “you must be joking!” and finally “Why didn’t I think of that first”. I can tell you, even if you have think of it first, you would not have the audacity to do it.
By the way, Alex Tew has started a new site, Pixelotto.
There are other now different versions of the Million Dollar Homepage on the web with vary amount of success. (eg. 1000tags.com)
Just today, I read on Namepros.com that another stupid (maybe brillant) idea is working its way up. There is this guy who wants to trade up his oneuglydomain.net until finally his final domain will be worth $1,000,000.00. I thought nobody will take up his offer but apparently, it is at round 20 of trading now. Well, if pokemon can take trading little critters to million dollars franchise, maybe this is not a bad idea.
So dig deep into your brain, find the next stupid idea and get rich. And be more ambitious, don’t always aim for $1,000,000.00. (Dr Evil with little finger in his mouth, evil laugh)

i learned something from a successful management guru james skinner that making money is nothing more than an idea.. if you have an idea, it could be worth millions.. just like the million dollar home page.. now there is a variant.. million dollar wiki..
the long i study money, the more i agree with making huge amounts of $ could be just an idea away!
to make a million, u either sell a million things at $1 each or sell one thing at $1 million
