An #idea that may seem completely crazy and illogical today, is an idea that earned millions for Alex Tew back in the early days of Internet.
The year was 2005 when Alex Tew set up a #website called Million Dollar Homepage. The site’s model was almost obscenely simple: on it was a million pixels of ad space, the pixels available to buy in blocks of 100 at $1 a pixel. Once you bought them they were yours forever. When the millionth pixel was sold, Tew would be a millionaire.
Crazy right? You would be surprised to know that in less than a year, Tew had made his million. The website is still live, nearly 15 years after its launch. Companies have had 15 years of advertising by just paying off once. The site still has several thousand viewers every day; it has probably been a very good investment.
Tew now runs the meditation app #Calm after becoming a millionaire and this home page is now testimony to an earlier #Internet era.
So never dismiss an idea to be too stupid. There could be millions hidden beneath it!
