Let’s face it. Some people have really good ideas that make them lots of money. Unfortunately I’m just not that clever\/lucky\/devious.<\/p>\n

A few minutes back I was recounting a story to my wife about someone who sold a leaky tent on eBay<\/a>, telling people how bad it was, that it had enough water in it when the morning came to make a cup of tea and a boil in the bag meal, starting off at 99p and finally selling it for something like \u00c2\u00a3300 (I wish I could find the link to put it here!), when she told me about another story which appeared on this morning’s BBC Breakfast<\/a> news.<\/p>\n

Basically, a student called Alex Tew came up with the idea of selling advertising space on his home page for $1 a pixel<\/a> (total 1 million pixels, with a minimum purchase of a 10×10 block) to help him meet the cost of getting through uni’ (and then some, unless Student Union prices have gone up a bit since my days at the University of Glamorgan<\/a> in the early 90s!). He plans to leave the site online for ever (but has committed to 5 years) and so at the time of writing has sold 437,500 pixels (in just under two months) .<\/p>\n

Of course the idea is flawed – it’s all fuelled by the press interest and once the initial interest has died down, there is no reason to visit the site but it’s a great idea. $437,500 is about \u00c2\u00a3236,250 – about what we paid for our 4-bedroom house three years ago! Even with hosting costs and taxes taking a chunk out of the total, it’s still a tidy profit.<\/p>\n

Bloody students!<\/p>\n

(Of course, I’m only joking. And jealous!)<\/p>\n

Actually, I say good on him for coming up with the original idea. As Alex notes in his FAQ<\/a> page, there’s bound to be copycat sites but The Million Dollar Homepage<\/a> will always be the first to have made it big – I just like the way he signs off the FAQ piece about copycats: “Am I bothered?” (for those reading this from outside the UK, that’s a reference to “Lauren, the modern-day schoolgirl constantly troubled by current parlance and infecting the country with the catchphrase ‘Am I bovvered?'”, in the BBC’s Catherine Tate Show<\/a>).<\/p>\n

You can read the whole story since the site was set up at the end of August 2005 on The Million Dollar Blog<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
