How to get rich the smart way? Read what some creative people:

1. Million Dollar Homepage

1000000 pixels, charge a dollar per pixel – which is perhaps the stupidest idea of any online business would be with me. Still, Alex Tew, a 21-year-old, who had the idea, now a millionaire. What is the idea? (from FAQ on the website) The idea is simple: try to make 1 million dollars (U.S.) by selling 1,000,000 pixels for $ 1 each. Therefore, “The Million Dollar Homepage”. The main reason is to pay my university, because I do not like the idea of concluding a debt of major studies. I know people who pay off student loans 15 to 20 years after its completion. Not a pretty thought! So, everyone is welcome to my pixels, which are available in 100 pixel “buy blocks (each 10×10 pixels). You will see the homepage is divided into 10,000 of these 100 pixel blocks is (are 1,000,000 pixels in total). The reason for selling them in blocks of 100 pixels is smaller because everything is too small to display anything meaningful. You can add as many points as you want, as long as there are few statistics available, live in the upper right corner of the page (see). If you buy pixels, you can display an image / / AD logo of your choice in the space purchased. You can also click on the image through your own website. However, no obscene or offensive images allowed. The pixels you buy will be on the home page will be displayed permanently. The homepage will not change. With a bit of money I make from the site, I assure you to keep online for at least 5 years, but hopefully much longer. I wish them a kind of internet time capsule. Thus, in the long term, I believe the pixels will offer good value. You’ll get a piece of internet history!

2. Santa Mail

OK, how do you know that a great idea. Get a postal address at the North Pole, Alaska, you’re referring to are Santa Claus and charge parents $ 10 for each letter you send their children? Now, Byron Reese sent over 200000 letters since the start of the company in 2001, giving it a few million dollars richer. About Santa’s mail to their siteSince 2002 Santa helped to write personalized letters to more than 275,000 Christmas. Santa makes sure we use the finest legacy of quality, acid-free linen paper, so that his last letters of a lifetime.

When Santa’s elves, helping us to print their Santa letters and then send him to the North Pole, Alaska, where he affixes stamps on Christmas, and transmits them on the path to your child. Hence, the letter will be stamped and sent. (After December 16, he gave us the news straight from Austin, Texas, to reach children at the time!).

Rein wanted something that was compact, sleek and stylish, so in November 2004, she was sitting with her husband, Marcus, that a custom diaper bag, large enough to hold a travel pack of wipes and two to four layers helped.
