Mermaid Courses

How to Make a Business on Swimming Courses? Moreover, it should be different from many others and bring income. The answer is simple: create mermaid courses, as the enterprising American guys did. A project called Mermaid School was launched in the urban community of Denver.

The idea is not a mystery – the courses teach you to swim, but not just with a crawl or breaststroke, but with a tail stretched over your legs. In addition, the "little mermaids" attending such courses learn to dive gracefully and perform various acrobatic tricks.

Growing corkscrew carrots

The next business idea will appeal to all gardeners. Its essence is the breeding of a unique type of root vegetable familiar to everyone - corkscrew carrots. It is called so, of course, because of its external similarity. 

This became possible after the invention of a special seed case, which can set the necessary shape at an early stage of root crop formation. Carrots grown in this way do not need to be dug up, they are easily twisted out of the soil. Even one thing can be found in such a business: carrots from pencil cases grow quickly and do not require much effort in the processing process.

Kindergarten for adults

Probably, from time to time everyone has a desire to "go back to childhood". It is with warm sadness that we all remember the happy hours of carefree childhood spent in kindergarten. There you live for pleasure, eat according to a schedule, play games, and, of course, relax during quiet hours. Oh, adults would give a lot for a quiet hour at their jobs!

So much for a business idea. People want to plunge into childhood – please! They can be given this opportunity for a certain amount. The idea of kindergartens for adults came to a businessman from Novosibirsk, this obviously profitable business can be implemented anywhere.

Mushroom furniture

There are a myriad of conservationists around the world, the so-called Greenpeace activists. Their number is only growing, which is good news, including those who are engaged in the production of environmentally friendly furniture items. A breakthrough in this field is the discovery of American bioengineers: they learned how to make furniture from ordinary mycelium.

The advantages here are obvious: the furniture is inexpensive, since the production costs are minimal, and besides, all items made in this way are environmentally friendly. The fungal ecopolymer is completely degradable in the soil. So you can get rid of boring furniture by simply throwing it away, for example, in the garden.

Diaper roofing

Another option for starting a business can be another production "in the name of protecting nature", that is, not polluting the environment. Yes, it may sound crazy, but if you get to the heart of the matter, it lends itself to logic.

The unique technology, which the American company Knowaste began to develop several decades ago, has recently been put into production. And the technology consists in the processing of diapers and other hygiene products into granulated raw materials, from which a fairly durable roofing material is obtained at the output.

Wardrobe made of plastic bottles

The business of sewing and selling clothes is one of the most "densely populated", and it is quite difficult to compete in this area. Unless you come up with some feature that makes you stand out from the rest. Such a feature can be the material for clothing, in particular, it can be a plastic bottle.

The business for the production of "plastic" clothes was launched by a resourceful Briton and, it must be said, this unusual business of his paid off quite quickly. Now the entrepreneur plans to open branches around the world.

Dreamy Chair

Sometimes it is very important to be able to find an unusual use for the most ordinary things, for example, pieces of furniture. For example, a person with business acumen can easily "turn" an ordinary chair into a profitable business. The main thing is to present the product correctly, as designer Isaf Israel did. He came up with an original chair and called it "dreamy".

This chair is designed to be dreamed of, as its name suggests. And the design of the chair disposes to an exceptionally comfortable and cozy pastime. The unusualness of this ordinary piece of furniture is given by the cross-shaped shape, covered with soft upholstery with a pleasant color.
Fundraising with photostriptease

An original way to generate income was invented by foreign programmers. It consists in the ability to "undress" the person in the photo. For money, of course. Of course, there is no magic in such a "photo striptease". It's all about a program that allows you to make a completely fuzzy photo much more explicit with an online click.

Anyone can participate in the project by sending a "nude" photo to the site. True, the project of resourceful programmers is of a charitable nature, but such an idea, without a doubt, can be used for profit.
Interactive urinal

Sometimes, some business ideas border on "madness" and amaze with their strangeness. One of these, which goes beyond the "normal", can rightfully be called the idea of creating an interactive urinal. And it really exists! Visitors to German pubs have the opportunity to appreciate this unusual type of entertainment.

In essence, this is a computer game called Pisspad, the main device in it is an interactive urinal, and a stream of urine is used as a joystick. The game has become quite popular in Germany, especially during football broadcasts. 

Drinking Buddy Robot

 Although Lithuanians are named the most drinking nation of 2016, it is a well-known fact that in our country there are more than enough people who like to "touch the bottle". It is also known that you need to drink in company. However, it may be that it was not possible to gather a company, but it is extremely necessary to celebrate a holiday or drink down grief. This is where Drinky's professional drinking companion will come to the rescue, and he is also trouble-free.

The robot is able to raise a glass and consume a drink after each toast. Moreover, the alcohol drunk by him carefully accumulates in a special bottle. An indispensable friend for Friday get-togethers.

Smog costume jewelry

Another innovation from environmentalists is a tower that makes costume jewelry from smog. No, it's not fiction, although it sounds really strange. A business idea from industrial eco-designers from the Netherlands surprised the whole world. They designed and built a tower that is capable of making costume jewelry non-stop on its own.

There is a mini-factory for the production of jewelry from polluted air using wind energy, so it is absolutely environmentally friendly. Ions are produced inside the structure, which can attract dust particles and smog. Really, it's not a business, it's pumping money out of thin air.

Cat hair wristwatch

Pet owners, particularly furry ones, are familiar with the problem of excessive hair all over the house. But, as the saying goes, you can benefit from any problem. In the same way, cat hair can serve as an excellent raw material for generating income.

Enterprising guys from America have built a profitable business on the manufacture of watches from cat hair. People send them the accumulated wool, which is turned into felt, and then a flexible and durable metal frame is glued to them. After a while, the client receives a wristwatch in return. Truly an amazing transformation! But you also have to pay a lot for it.

Wine for cats

An idea for a business can be to provide goods and services not only for people, but also for our smaller brothers. It's no longer news that there are glasses, diapers, shampoos and other essentials for pets. But why limit yourself to them? Why not release wine for cats? Moreover, you can make good money on this, because, as you know, cat owners are ready to do a lot to turn the life of their pets into a fairy tale.

An American businessman took advantage of this, who began to produce a drink from beets and mint, called wine for cats.

A Useful Accessory for Dogs

Business ideas, of course, are not limited to cat inventions. After all, dog owners love their pets just as much. To the delight of dog breeders, a unique gadget has appeared that collects animal excrement. The invention, which is a small bag, is attached to the dog's tail, and the owner only needs to change it periodically.

The idea, which seems a bit strange, is actually very practical. Any dog owner will appreciate this way of maintaining cleanliness.

Selling Pet Stones

There are different ways to make money on pet lovers. If all kinds of devices, clothes and toys for animals require considerable expenses, and there is a lot of competition there, then there is a much more convenient way to generate income. You can sell the pets themselves, or rather pass off stones for them.

Sounds extremely strange, of course. However, an entrepreneur from the United States was able to make good money on this extraordinary idea. He just came up with an idea: to sell ordinary cobblestones as if they were living pets. In addition, beautiful packaging, original design and detailed instructions for caring for a new pet. That's it, the business of selling stones is established!

As you can see, you can make money on literally anything, the main condition is a creative approach, out-of-the-box thinking and determination. This, of course, is not a complete list of unusual business ideas. But who knows, maybe among them there will be one that you will like and will become the basis for your business, or push you to create your own unique idea.
