So you think you’ve got a crazy business idea but you’re afraid to tell anyone about it. You know they’re going to laugh and tell you that there is no way your idea will work. Well, you just might be able to prove them all wrong!

No matter how crazy your idea is, there might just be a way to make it work. It might mean finding the right audience, waiting for the right time or it may just take a bit of crazy marketing. Here is a list of business ideas that I’m sure at one point or another, were called Crazy Business Ideas:

Bottled Water Business Idea1.) Selling bottled water. Think about it. The first guy to do this had to be crazy.

2.) Pet Rocks. This would go into the fad category, but someone made money selling painted rocks.

3.) Gourmet dog and cat food. Who taste tested this stuff anyway?

4.) Selling dirt. Yep, an Irish guy ships it worldwide by the bag full to Irish loving buyers.

5.) iFart App. Install on your phone, get instant fart noises. How crazy is your idea?

6.) Overnight package delivery. Remember when there wasn’t any?

7.) News 24 hours a day. Never turn your TV off again.

8.) Pop bottle necklaces. Painted bottle caps = millions.

9.) Bandz. Rubber bands in shapes and colors. My girls have dozens of them.

10.) Sticky Notes. Did you get the memo on this one?

That’s a quick 10 crazy ideas that made people big bucks. Don’t let anyone tell you that your idea will not work because you just never know which crazy business idea is going to make the next millionaire.
