Ever heard of a $1 billion idea that started with... wait for it... a pixelated homepage? Let me introduce you to Alex Tew, the mastermind behind "The Million Dollar Homepage." The year was 2005. Alex, a broke 21-year-old student, had a wild idea: 1. Create a webpage with 1 million pixels 2. Sell each pixel for $1 3. Let advertisers turn those pixels into tiny ads Sounds crazy, right? Here's where it gets interesting. At first, sales trickled in. Friends, family, maybe a few pity purchases. Then, the media caught wind. Suddenly, Alex's pixelated page wasn't just a quirky idea. It was a phenomenon. The twist? As pixels became scarce, prices skyrocketed. The last 1,000 pixels? Sold at auction for $38,100. Final tally: $1,037,100 All for a homepage that looked like digital confetti. But here's the real genius: 1. Zero overhead 2. No product to ship 3. Maintenance? Just keep the site online Alex turned FOMO and scarcity into a goldmine. And he did it before "going viral"!
