Clever Guy
Leave school, make your first million and then decide if you really want to go to university after all! That's exactly what Alex Tew of Million Dollar Home Page has done. First he came up with a smart idea, his plan was to ensure that he did not end up with debts from a student loan after graduation. His idea, like the best ideas, was very simple, he created, or indeed packaged a new way of selling advertising space on the internet. His home page was made up of 1 million pixels and he sold each pixel for $1, in less than six months he reached his $1 million target.
So has earning over a million dollars swayed his judgment at all? Well let's face it he has probably learnt more about business in five shorts months than any course could teach him, sure he still has more to learn but right now he is known around the world as a pioneer, and in the advertising world that'll get him a very long way indeed with or without his newly created bank balance.
Meanwhile, as with every great idea there are now many spin-offs, one quick search uncovered free and $0.60c pixels at Million Money Maker, as Alex proved you'll need to be quick to take advantage of such things.
We are pretty sure that we'll be reading about Alex again soon in the business press or perhaps we'll see him in the glossies with models hanging off each arm, as he becomes this years new, most eligible bachelor. Good Luck Alex.
