A Million-Dollar Ah-Ha



An
editorial in Friday's Financial Times is about a lot more than just a smart and lucky student who figured out how to make money on the internet.

It's about the content on your website (and ours too).

MillionDollarHomePage.Com is the creation of British college student Alex Tew. He wanted to use the internet to earn money for college and came up with the idea of selling 1,000,000 pixels on his website for $1 each. Most of the pixel blocks are used for advertising logos linking to other websites. Alex describes himself as a pixel hustler and apparently it's working because he's sold more than $900,000 worth of space on the million dollar homepage, and international media including the Wall Street Journal, and now the FT too, have written about him.

Help the kid make another few $$ now with a click.
