Remember the Million Dollar Homepage - Guy makes over $1 mil by selling Pixels on his Website

in #video5 years ago (edited)

It was back in 2005. Alex Tew was a University student in the UK raising money for his education when he came up with this ingenious idea.

Basically...

He sold 1,000,000 pixels at $1 USD a piece on his website's homepage. And people could put their logos and slogans and a link to a URL on it.

The video (below) gives more specifics. Really quite an idea he came up with. But unlike a lot of people with great ideas, he put his into action !! And became a millionaire

Excellent job done by him... Lord I need sure ideas & the will to act on them!!!

I had never heard of this before, but that is pretty awesome. It is amazing how small things can add up to become something so huge. I always thing about that when I see mobile apps. Everyone things hey, this app is only a dollar, that isn't a huge deal. Then when you figure you have millions of people downloading and using the app it really starts to sink in how much that person made. Maybe I should be making apps...
