Million Dollar Homepage (http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com)
The idea is simple: to try and make $1m (US) by selling 1,000,000 pixels for $1 each. Hence, 'The Million Dollar Homepage". The main motivation for doing this is to pay for my degree studies, because I don't like the idea of graduating with a huge student debt. I know people who are paying off student loans 15-20 years after they graduated. Not a nice thought!
This kid is a marketing genious, in my opinion. He had an extremely unique idea which is now making him hundreds of thousands of dollars. At the moment, he has sold 305,700 pixels at $1. While $305,700 may not be his total profit, it's still in the $xxx,xxx range :eek2:.
There are a bunch of sites that basically spawned off his idea. SellPixels.com (http://sellpixels.com/) is cashing in on the hype.
Check this (http://www.rentpixelads.com/) out. Someone bought a bunch of pixel ad space and is now renting the space. :lol:
