Now I know I’m gonna get shit for posting this the to the MakeMealive.com blog. So I’m gonna apologize to Derek, Doug and John ahead of time. Sorry Guys! And John… I apologize that this post is going to get more viewers than your “seed fund startup investment for gen-y demographic people… …. … .. . “ = ) but i think this link deserved more than just a tweet and or a facebook post.
Why this webpage www.milliondollarhomepage.com caught my attention is due in large part of my envy for this kid. Here we work 15 hour days developing robust database driven internet apps and this kid creates one f*cking webpage and becomes a millionaire.
I still think this idea was stupid but on the other hand we have to give the creator credit. He understood the value of advertising and the efficiency of internet marketing for advertising revenue and part of me feels like I need to absorb a lesson from stumbling upon such a website. Although I admire his creativity and marketing mind, I still believe paying $1 dollar per pixel for adspace is a tremendous price to pay for such little space. Growing up in a billboard world can really f*ck with your perspective on a business model such as this… Anyways I will come up with a more informative and moving post in my next blog but felt like I wanted to share this with the MakeMeAlive readers.
What does everyone think?! Please comment on this post I am dying to know everyone’s thoughts!
kidding about $100..

waldo is just above the top left corner of that tabmarks thing. you can download my album at my website and paypal me my $100, thx.
I think it’s a great idea. The Internet is full of idiots looking to waste money and others who hunt them. Ingenuity is the key. All you need is a way to catch a simple-minded person’s eye and a way for them to pay you.
pete, i can’t hate… the kid is getting paid!
I love this guy!
Hey, if you’re serious…
Totally found Waldo in your Million Dollar Page post!
