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.

Gotta factor opportunity costs - offering something that people value at $1 for $1 isn't a great deal and you won't get so many buyers. Start looking to provide a lot more than you get in return and it'll be much easier to sell.
Edit: Downvotes? Seriously? Offering to sell something a person values at $1 for $1 to them is a lot harder than selling them something they value at $1 for 10 cents.
