In fact, some of the most successful online entrepreneurs have reached the highest pedestals by embracing the weird, the wild, and the wacky. Here’s a look at a few of the unconventional internet millionaires.
Virtual Real Estate Tycoons In the digital world, real estate comes in the form of domains and virtual land. Savvy entrepreneurs have made a fortune buying and selling web domains and even virtual properties within online games.
The Oddball of Auction Sites Anyone remember the man who made a surprising sum of money when he auctioned a ghost in a jar on eBay? It’s a pretty strange example, but the internet is rife with story after story of bizarre auctions that have captured our imaginations and our dollars.
The Potato Message Service Yes. We’re serious. This is a service that allows you to send a message written on a potato. It sounds ridiculous, but also like an absolutely insane amount of fun and that fun turned out to also be a wild potato-based success story.
The King of Niche Products From bacon-scented soap to unicorn meat (pssst, no actual unicorns were harmed in the making of that last one) selling bizarre, niche products to the internet has worked for a lot of hopeful webpreneurs.
YouTube Sensations It’s still a little hard to believe, but it’s gotten to the point that a huge number of YouTubers are making real money by getting people to watch them do some pretty funny or just straight-up weird stuff.
Conclusion: Embrace the Weird All of the above list should be all the proof we need that in the wild world of internet entrepreneurship the most unconventional ideas are also often the money-makers. It’s a fantastic and timely reminder that more than ever in business, creativity, a willingness to take a risk and even a bit of oddity can combine to create something fantastic.
