Inevitably, at some point in your life you’ve had a head-slapping, stop in your tracks moment where you say to yourself, “Why didn’t I think of that???”. Every year thousands of creative entrepreneurs come up with a new product, or service, or website idea that makes it big, earning the creator either a giant paycheck or boatload of publicity, or both.

So why isn’t that person you? It can be.

Now is the time to act! Still not ready? Maybe you just need to hear about some people who have done it in order to get your juices flowing. Here’s a run down of some of those people who took their ideas (crazy as they may seem) and turned them into gold.

Jason Sadler is another one of those Web-entrepreneurs that have taken a silly or creative idea and turned it into Web gold! Jason created IwearYourShirt.com, a site that features him wearing a new shirt every day, each one sponsored by a new advertiser. In 2009 Jason successfully sold 365-days of sponsored shirt wearing, earning him just under $70,000.Yes, you read that right. Jason made almost $70,000 for wearing a different t-shirt every day. Doesn’t sound so silly now, does it? Kyle MacDonald bartered his way from a single red paperclip to a house in a series of online trades over the course of a year. That’s right, he used the power of the Internet and a creative idea to trade something of almost zero value, for something (a house) of actual real value. Alex Tew is the guy who came up with The Million Dollar Home Page.

A student at the time, Tew needed to find a way to pay for his education, so he took a chance and created a web page that sold 1,000,000 pixels for $1 each. Hence, ‘The Million Dollar Homepage”. In fact, Tew did sell all 1 million pixels and earned himself a nice paycheck, and tons of publicity in the process. These projects illustrate that even the simplest or craziest or weirdest or unusual idea can be turned into reality, and Web gold. It should also be pointed out that for every one of these types of projects that succeed, ninety-nine other similar projects never get off the ground. Personally, I’ve taken two stabs at viral glory with two sites that never did catch on.

If you want to see them in action visit AwesomeMillion.com and BigBrownBox.com. But just because success doesn’t come doesn’t mean you shouldn’t stop trying. As all-time great Wayne Gretzky so famously quoted once, “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take”. It’s time to take your shot. What’s the worst that could happen? It becomes a hit and all your dreams come true? For inspiration, here’s a quick list of some risk-takers you probably know about that turned an idea into reality and into a huge success.

Red Bull energy drink – The idea was to create a super-caffeinated carbonated beverage and market it to athletes and the party crowd. Through some creative and unusual advertising, Red Bull now has $3.4 billion in sales.

Amazon.com – Who wants to have to go to a bookstore to buy a book? Jeff Bezos created Amazon because he realized that driving to the bookstore was an enourmous hassle and there could be a better way.

Polo – Ralph Lauren thought to himself, “What if we take a regular polo shirt, and add a little horse decal on it and price it at $50?” In 1994, he sold 28% of the company to Goldman Sachs for $138 million.

Last week I had the great pleasure to download, and test-drive a brand-new plugin from MaxBlogPress creators; it is called
Subscribers Magnet‘… perhaps you have already heard or read reviews about it!

Here’s my opinion about it and why I think you should or NOT buy it!

First of all, ‘Subscribers Magnet‘ is a wordpress plugin which will rapidly build your email list by using the technology in some unconventional and unique way. It’s unobtrusive and highly impactful. Watch this video  to see it in action.

You have the option to add your opt-in form all over your blog, and actually ‘seduce’ your visitors to join your list, in a very friendly manner.

You can add your form in your blog sidebar, in the footer bar, within the post itself and even in the comments.

The most exciting part about this little plugin is that you have full control over the look, feel, location and functionality of your forms; the plugin works with AWeber, GetResponse, and all the other major autoresponders out there.

What I don’t like about this plugin is that it’s too EASY to use. You don’t need any html coding or programming skills. And I think with the ease of use, it’ll attract people who will wrongly utilise it and with just like any software or method, it’ll decrease its value and effectiveness overtime.

Yet, in the hands of potent and smart bloggers, this is so powerful, it could triple your sign-up rate almost overnight, without you having to get more blog visitors than you’re already getting. For example, if you actually get 100 unique visitors to your blog on a daily basis [on average] and you get a 5% conversion rate, meaning 5 subscribers, then using this plugin, you could get 15 subscribers instead, from the same amount of traffic.

If you’re all about optimization, you’re going to love the plugin — that’s for sure!

For example, imagine your visitors landing on your blog. This plugin will automatically fill the visitors’ name/email in the opt-in form on your blog. They won’t have to type in their email and name anymore. It’s all done for them, on auto-pilot!

Now, please listen closely. You should NOT buy ‘Subscribers Magnet‘…

1. If, once you finish reading this plugin review, still don’t see its real value
2. If you receive less than 10 visitors a day to your blog
3. If you don’t plan to actually test-drive it on your blog.

On the other hand, you should BUY ‘Subscribers Magnet‘…
1. If you want to double, triple and even quadruple your subscription rate ‘overnight’ – and do it over and over again, day and night, week after week, month after month!

2. If you are sick and tired of not getting optimum list conversion and want to get the maximum from your blog’s real estate by placing your opt-in form in strategic, non-intrusive locations, where anybody can see it.

P.S. Here are some other mind-blowing features , perhaps not found elsewhere:

A. You can show footer bar which is highly visible but not obnoxious. Very good for turning first time visitors into subscribers.

B. You can SEND “automatic” and highly-personalized ‘thank you messages’ by email, on the first occasion someone comments on your blog? Think of the possibilities! In that message you can invite them to join your newsletter or rss feed. It’s another “friendly” reason to bond trust with your readers and get them on your list, in a non intrusive way!

C. You have unique tracking available for each subscription method – you will know for sure which forms perform better than others; with this new found knowledge, you’ll be able to boost your sign-up rate like never before!

P.P.S. Download your copy of ‘Subscribers Magnet‘ PLUGIN  and receive a free copy of “Multiple Hit Strategy” with your purchase. This bonus item is actually a step-by-step manual detailing the multiple hit strategy for rapid list building.
