Many people are making money in different and unique way that some of us haven’t even dreamt of (in fact what we think as silly ideas). After reading a few of them I realized how our simple ideas and hobbies when polished by our perseverance and creativity can be turned in to a way that can provide as with a life style that we are looking for. By saying this I don’t intend to say that all our hobbies can earn money for us online or in the real world business. Yaro starak of entrepreneurs-journey has explains how to explore Your PassionsTo Find Business Opportunities . I strongly recommend the free ebook that he provides to his readers. (hope the offer is still there…haha).
Below are few amazing ideas that I found when surfing through the web yesterday after a hectic day at office.

1) Doggles - fancied by that word.It means dogs goggles.Did you ever imagine you could make millions by selling doggles?.This website is doing it and making good profit. There are people who treat their pets as their kids and are ready to spend big bucks for them. The sales figures and growth of doggles is proving that fact.They expanded their original idea of selling UV protected doggles and started selling other eye wear ,vests and even jewelleries. Now they are making millions out of it and have opened stores world wide.

2)Amazing Butterflies- What will you say to a person who advice you to start up a butterfly selling shop online?Are you crazy?But this guy Jose Muniz didnt . He started this business on a bet and it really rewarded him well.

3)Santamail- This guy Byron Reese from Santamail had made millions of dollars by writing letters to kids. The parents will hand over him 10$ when he write a letter to their kid.

4) Antenna Balls Jack Walls had made a huge fortune by just selling antennaballs,those small things that you see on the top of cars.

5)LuckyWishbone- Craziest idea of all time. Manufacturing and selling plastic wish bones. But what to say they have struck their fortune.They are producing more than 30000 a month and sales exceeding millions of dollars.

6)Million Dollar Homepage- This guy make money by selling pixels on his website. He sold 1 million pixels at 1 dollar per piece and had made his first million

7) Hungry Pod- Catherine Kane is making more than 100K per year just by loading music on peoples ipod. The idea struck in her mind after helping out one of her friend in loading music into her ipod.

Moral of the story- Got some crazy ideas,you find a way to succeed.Go and try it and don’t listen to those people who are pulling u back.
