Lightbulb The idea is to make Rs.1,000,000 by selling 1 million pixels

The idea is to make Rs.1,000,000 by selling 1 million pixels worth of advertising space for Rs.100 for a block on the grid (10x10 pixels).

There are 10,000 blocks on the board each block measures 10x10 pixels costing Rs.100.00

This wasn’t my original idea.

Idea : The Million Dollar Homepage is a website conceived by Alex Tew, a 21-year-old student from Wiltshire, England to help raise money for his university education.

My original plan was for a Web Designing Service much more complicated website but I didn’t know how to go about setting it up and administering it. So I thought I would start with a pixel site and when it’s successful enough I will send myself on a web design project. I have a few more business ventures I want to get off the ground but need more knowledge and experience to be able to launch them.

need suggestion on this topic

First and only suggestion:

Don't even think of trying to sell any of it here!

He asked for advice. He got advice.

Maybe he needs to be taught what's good and healthy and what isn't.

Maybe he is willing to learn.

Maybe I'm a dreamer....

I'll leave it be for a while at least.

Quoting from the man himself:

Quote:
That's why it's sad to see all those pixel-copycat sites sending out badly-written press releases thinking that just sending out a press release will create interest. It won't! Forget copying my idea, no other individual will become rich from a Million Dollar Homepage copycat site. Do something different! And I do not mean a pixel-site-with-a-twist! Do something TOTALLY different! If you do something unique, totally unique, then you will stand out.
Not a unique idea, so it won't catch interest. That's why I don't see why people bother trying to copy it.

I've got an ad on the original site - it was a gamble but it paid off.
There is absolutely no way it will work again so give up now.

I am not greedy, I just want 1 million, not 20 million.

That's sorted then, I'll just tell him to get in touch with you directly. How big is a pixel again?
