Does anyone else think posts like this are trite, vapid crap that doesn't belong on HN? What could you possibly hope to learn from this thread? If I knew an easy way to make a million bucks, I wouldn't tell you, I would just do it. Then I would scale up and replicate it 1000 times over. I've spoken to a lot of people in the direct response industry who have made millions in simple, unglamorous businesses(like manufacturing a simple plastic thing in China and selling it via direct mail). None of them made their money by making posts like this one. If you insist on getting an answer: The best way to make 1 million bucks is to offer some business $1 million worth of value. Or 1 million consumers $1 of value. The way this is usually done is exploiting inefficiencies in the market/arbitrage.
