Today I am going to tell you an interesting story about Alex Tew. I believe this story can motivate you. Alex Tew is a british student who earned in 2005y. on own website milliondollarhomepage.com, more than 1 million dollar. On the main page he has placed a huge banner. The size of banner was one million pixels and it was divided into 10.000 blocks of 100 pixels. 1 block = 10 X 10 pixels. He started to sell 1 pixel for 1 dollar for advertising, therefore the cost of 1 block was 100 dollars. He promised to its advertisers that the website will work at least 5 years and his site will not contain any other information, besides the paid ads. There are only banners advertising to other Internet sites. A principle is quite simple. When a visitor clicks on banner ads, he will be automatically redirected to the site of advertiser. At first Alex sent links of his site to friends and relatives and offered them to buy ad space on this website. Then he continued to send links to friends of their friends. A few days later Alex found first buyer, who paid for advertising 4 blocks in the amount of $ 400. It was Alex's brother.
The earned money Alex spent on advertisement on the site BBC. He showed press release on the BBC and the results came right away. Then, the number visitors and potential customers on its website has been increased. Other huge media like 'The Guardian' and other are also learned about his idea. They offered to Alex to publish the articles about his website absolutely for free. He agreed. After such 'advertisement' the number of visitors to his site has been increasing day by day. Two weeks after the opening of the site the amount of visitors was 200 000. Based on Alexa (the largest analytics for the web) traffic to the site has reached 25,000 per hour. It was an amazing result. During the first month of Alex Tew earned on its website 205.000 dollars. The website was so popular, that for the sale of the last 1000 pixels, Alex arranged an auction on Ebay. He earned 38.100 dollars on auction and total sum of earnings for 5 months was 1.037.100 dollars.
Why did he create this website? Alex explained that he needed the money in order to pay for university and ... for buying new socks! I think after more than 1 million of profit he could buy a factory of socks!
