1 Million in 4 Months

Million Dollar Home Page

Ever heard of the 1 million dollar home page? A UK student woke up one morning in August and figured out that he had to change his financial situation drastically. He was accepted to start college but did not have the money to pay for his study.

With this higher purpose in mind he designed the one million dollar home page. He offered to sell 1 million pixels for the price of 1$ in blocks of 100 or so. The result: a very colorful marketing advertisement site and 1.000.000$ in cash… Unbelievable?

Check the proof!

He is currently writing a book explaining how he did it. But we already know how he did it don’t we?
1/ he had a desire to make a significant change in his life
2/ he had the right purpose (not the money but his education)
3/ he was extremely focused and persistent (just read his blog to get an idea what he was going through during the process...)

Most importantly: he believed in what he was doing regardless of anybody else’s opinion. He must have heard many times things like:
‘forget it, it won’t work’
‘why are you all night working while we are watching TV or are going out?’
‘you must be crazy, nobody will buy pixels from you’
‘if you could make money with this, someone would have done it already...’

Are you ready to make a change, do something ‘unusual’ and get massive results/ payback?
