You can’t judge a book by it’s cover…or can you? Here’s a cool little idea that can act as a conversation starter and have you talking and laughing with total strangers in no time.
Conversation starters indeed. Imagine yourself flying on a jet plane and you take out your copy of Hemmingway’s A Farewell to Arms. But your seat mate does not see the original book cover, instead, he or she sees I Made my Mother a Porn Star or Do it Yourself Liposuction. Talk about playing with someone’s mind. Now, during your flight, one of two things will happen, your seatmate you will begin feeling uneasy, give you strange stares and ask to move their seat…as far away from you as possible or begin laughing and ask you about it. Before you know it, you have a new friend and as the plane lands a long flight seems like it just started. Either way you win and have some fun.
The idea for these funny covers comes from Canada’s Michelle Watters. Her husband suggested the idea to her one day and Michelle ran with the idea and founded FlapArt. Just 9 months old, FlapArt has 23 titles and has sold thousands of book covers with titles like How to Murder a Complete Stranger and Get Away With It and Fast Track to Prison - Exploring the Many Benefits of Life Behind Bars. Each FlapArt has text on the back cover, that is just as funny as the title. Best selling titles include The Nutritional Benefits of Nose Picking and Perfecting the Art of Fart Projection.
So for all you comics and funny people out there, put on your thinking caps and brainstorm ways to use your sense of humor to create a funny product or two. Do that and you will be laughing all the way to the bank.
Everyone loves to laugh and Michelle Watters is proving there is money in funny and there can be for you too with the right idea.

Working from home is amazing because you are your own boss. This means that if you mess something up, no one is going to scream at you. No one is constantly looking over your shoulder telling you when to take a break or what time to go to lunch. You are able to set your own schedule and take off when you want to. When it comes to taking time off for a vacation it doesn't matter because you control your time and schedule. You also control how much money you make, depending on the amount of time you're willing to invest, and how far you want to take your online home based business. http://www.millionairebusinessideas.com
