I’m intrigued by the idea of websites that sell one product or concept. A great example of what I mean is I Park Like An Idiot. This site is a simple one page site that sells bumper stickers that says “I Park Like An Idiot”:

I’m intrigued by the idea of websites that sell one product or concept. A great example of what I mean is I Park Like An Idiot. This site is a simple one page site that sells bumper stickers that says “I Park Like An Idiot”:
They sell these in 20, 40, and 100 packs with the idea that you will buy a pack and put them on cars that are parked like idiots. Now keep in mind, I don’t condone this since I admit to parking like an idiot sometimes myself ;). Their website also has a gallery of pictures of vehicles that have this on them.
I love this concept about creating a viral product/concept/idea, and trying to generate money from it. Do you know of any other sites that are based off the same idea?
I have at least one site idea that I’ll be doing in the near future that is based on this concept. It’s meant to be a funny and viral idea that hopefully gets spread around, generates sales on novel products (t-shirts, bumper stickers, etc), and that’s that. It should take all of one weekend to make the whole thing. I’ll be posting more about it whenever I get time to actually do this, but I’m looking forward to seeing if it can actually generate some good traffic and make some money.
