Alex TewThe creator of the Million Dollar Homepage, a strange website which brought him over $1M in about 5 months. In August 2005, Alex Tew launched the Million Dollar Homepage to raise funding for his college education, when he was 21 years old. The website only sold advertising space by the pixel on a 1000x1000 grid. It is amazing that in about 5 months, this website brought him over $1 million. In 2008, he created a social networking site to share comedy called Popjam. In 2010 he created onemillionpeople.com, though it was unsuccessful. In 2011 he created www.donothingfor2minutes.com with his friend Ben Dowling one evening, on a budget of just £70. What surprised me:
Of all the people I listed here, Alex Tew certainly gave me the most surprise. He created a website to sell pixels, which was a strange but new idea. The strangest website was a big success, and he made a million in about 5 months.
Certainly, many people wanted to duplicate his story, but no one was successful after him. Even he himself wanted to retry selling pixels with other websites but ended up with no luck. His Million Dollar Homepage was still the most successful. Website: www.milliondollarho mepage.com |
