Project Insomnia

Project Insomnia is many things, but in this context it is simply a "braindump" of whatever I happen to be thinking/reading/watching/doing at the moment. Parental guidance suggested.

How Selling Pixels May Yield a Million Bucks

I've had a whole bunch of stuff saved up to write about during my forced hiatus. Hopefully there are enough unique topics to keep the almightly Blogger TOS from thinking I'm a spammer. :rolleyes:

How Selling Pixels May Yield a Million Bucks -- WSJ.com
It was just a few months ago that 21-year-old Alex Tew of Great Britain was stumped about how to pay for college. He'd filled a notebook with ideas before jotting down this simple, if rather audacious, query to himself: How Can I Become a Millionaire?

...

Ultimately, his solution amounted to making money via Internet advertising -- but with a twist. Instead of selling banner ads, text links or splashy videolike ads that fill a screen, Mr. Tew opted to hawk the simplest graphical denominator of a computer screen: the pixel. A pixel is a tiny dot of light and color, and each screen has tens of thousands of them.

Take a look at www.milliondollarhomepage.com. He's made quite a bit of money on it so far, at $1 a pixel. As a follow-the-leader whore, I've registered nickelpixeled.com and will be charging $.05/pixel.
