What is creativity? Well, just ask Alex Tew ...
In 2005 Alex Tew of Wilshire was a university student with serious financial problems because of them, unable to pay the installment of tuition fees, was in danger of having to abandon his studies. During an evening spent in his dorm room students to think of his predicament had an idea "creative".
With $ 60 bought the domain of the site Internet www.milliondollarhomepage.com which could contain a million pixels and he sold every pixel at a cost of $ 1 each. The goal was to raise a sufficient amount of money to pay the higher rate in order to pursue his academic career. Then explained his plan on the site and its situation could get advertising space on his page.
Many have thought that at that time nobody would have bought advertising space on a page or unknown that the idea was a failure, a waste of time. Many words have probably criticized, as often happens with new creative ideas.
But instead ... just three days after he sold his first block to a music site and in just two weeks came to afford the college tuition for the entire year.
At this point he began to turn on the news blog on the Internet and the major British newspapers, bringing Alex incredible result in four months to sell 990,000 pixels. On 11 January 2006 (less than five months after the opening of the site) sold on Ebay the last 1,000 pixels per share $ 38,100, thus earning a total of $ 1,037,100!
This is just one of many stories out of an idea patterns and the desire to believe ...
