What's a business that when you first heard it, thought it was the dumbest idea in the world, and it turned out to be hugely successful? (alien.top)

Airbnb sounded like a horrible idea to me. Who the heck would rent out a single room? Sounded like a recipe for murder.

Franchise Consultant Here! Two franchise opportunities that I thought would be total dud are dryer vent cleaning and crime and trauma scene cleanup.

I did a deep dive into the item 19 of the FDD (financial performance) and saw that both of these businesses have the possibility of generating a significant amount of revenue with very little overhead and very small start up costs.

There was an established dryer vent cleaning business for sale on the east coast that was doing over $500K in sales a year with one man and a truck.
