What is your pixel worth?

Alex Tew, a 21-year-old student from a small town in England, is cleverer than you. And he is proving it by earning a cool million dollars in four months on the Internet.

The idea: turn his home page into a billboard made up of a million dots, and sell them for a dollar a dot to anyone who wants to put up their logo. A 10 by 10 dot square, roughly the size of a letter of type, costs $100.

He sold a few to his brothers and some friends, and when he had made $1,000, he issued a press release.

That was picked up by the news media, spread around the Internet, and soon advertisers for everything from dating sites to casinos to real estate agents to The Times of London were putting up real cash for pixels, with links to their own sites.

Now where do you think he got the idea from? While laying on his bed, thinking of how to pay for his Uni. This only proves one thing. Successful people don't do different things, they only do things differently. I mean, there are millions of blogs on the net, and only one guy came up with a million dollar site idea. Hats of to him. When am I going to earn my next million? When are you going to earn you next million. Maybe I might want to follow some of Thennavan's blog visit increase ideas.

To think my blog is named 'pixels of the brain' and my pixels aren't worth anything, while he is selling his pixels.
