Looking for a ($1.00 x 1,000,000) idea

[christianzealot4]

While million dollar ideas don't come to anyone on a silver platter, if you sold something for $1.00 to one million people, you'd earn $1,000,000.00 in revenue.

I'm looking to give something like that a try: Selling something for $1.00 to one million people. But I'm trying to figure out what I should try and sell.

With the internet, it should be easy to reach one million people; but whatever I'm selling, I need to be able to get it to them.

Any ideas on what I should try to sell for $1.00?

@christianzealot4 Looking for a $1.00 x 2,000,000 idea.

@pix Why so low? How about $1,000,000 X 1,000

 

[christianzealot4]

@augt I don't know what I could make that I could sell for $1,000 and 1,000,000 people would want

@christianzealot4 So much easier to sell 1,000 things for $1,000

@christianzealot4 You're looking to give a little value to a lot of people... everything about that is a hassle.

I think the exact opposite of that is a better way - that is, give a LOT of value to a few people.

What would be so valuable that you could charge 100 businesses 10k each? Etc etc.
Or better - 10 businesses 100k each.

@net I completely agree with this breakdown. Playing a commodity market with low margins is not the future of commerce.

@christianzealot4 I don't have any ideas, but I think I can help in other ways. Instead of finding a $1 product that you could sell to 1 million people, have you thought of how you can help 1 million people?

Don't think of the product as such. Instead, think of a problem that people have, whether it's a need to feel trendy, spend time with their children, relieve their stress, connect to their friends and relatives, easily find shopping deals, enjoy low-cost entertainment, and so on. Find a market of 1 million people that's not being served. Create a product for that market. Price the product at a $1, then market it to those 1 million.

The good thing is millions of people have problems everyday, so it's not impossible to find a $1 idea that could benefit at least a million people.

@christianzealot4 SERVICE ,SERVICE, SERVICE!!!

offer a service enrich a experience that is lacking then charge $1 a year you'll get your money.

@christianzealot4 After credit card fees on the $1 item, good luck getting more than a few pennies. However, you can always accept cryptocurrency as a payment - little to no fees and you could participate on the upside.

Make it exclusive to cryptocurrency enthusiasts as the only way to pay. There's a growing market for it.

 

[christianzealot4]

@ralpsoft Could you give an example of someone selling something for cryptocurrency only?

 

[ralpsoft]

@christianzealot4 It happens a lot in the precious metals market. For example, Veldtgold.com only sells via Crypto or wire transfer. However, for something that's only $1.00, you'd be looking at something content related like access to an article, ebook, website membership or limited time trial.

@christianzealot4 "it should be easy to reach one million people" - are you sure?

 

[baylaurel143]

@christianzealot4 Sell the idea of selling $1 x 1000000

 

[rogers91]

@christianzealot4 Yes, I have the answer...it's called an e-book.

 

[christianzealot4]

@rogers91 Hmm... Yes. This could be what I'm looking for. Would you happen to know any good publishing services?

@christianzealot4 Do it yourself. There's amazon and lulu and several others as much as straight download from its own site.

Agree with the others, after processing fees it's not a dollar anymore.
