How to get rich the smart way? Read what some designers have done:
First Million Dollar Homepage
1000000 pixels, charge a dollar per pixel – is perhaps the dumbest idea anyone online commerce could reach as possible. Still, Alex Tew, a 21-year-old who had the idea, is now a millionaire. What is the idea? (From the FAQ on the website) The idea is simple: try to $ 1,000,000 (USA) through the sale of 1,000,000 pixels for $ 1 each. Thus, “The Million Dollar Homepage.” The main motivation is to pay for my college, because I do not like the idea of graduating with a huge student loan debt. I know people who are Pay Student Loans 15 to 20 years after graduation. Not a pleasant thought! So, everyone is welcome to my pixels, which are available in 100 pixel ‘blocks Now’ (each measuring 10×10 pixels). You see the Home page is divided into 10,000 of these blocks of 100 pixels (so there are 1,000,000 pixels in total). The reason for selling them in blocks of 100 pixels is smaller, because everything is too small to give something meaningful. You can buy as many pixels as you like as long as available (the live stats in the top right of the page to see). When you buy pixels, you can then display an image / ad / logo you want in the space you have purchased. You can also click the image to your own site. However, no obscene or offensive images are prohibited. pixels you buy will be displayed on the homepage permanently. The homepage will not change. with a portion of the money I make from the site, I assure you online account for at least five years, but I hope a lot more time. I want him a sort of time capsule on the Internet has become. Thus, in the long term, I believe the pixels will offer good value. You’ll see a piece of internet history!
2. Santa Mail
