Ended Alex Teo (21 years), high school, and began to prepare for undergraduate, and being a young Englishman living in the capital London, where university education is expensive and the consumer of wealth small, which led him to this idea (at the time was crazy, But after the success it is genius) in order to help him with costs university study, which is to create a site with a one-page puts forth a million dots / pixels with the display of each point of them for sale for one dollar only, and that one point will not be visible enough, less space can be purchased is a small rectangle of 10 points, hitting 10 points (a total of 100 points, equivalent to one hundred dollars) and the motivation behind the purchase of ads in the site is to help Alex to go to University! Alex policy focused on the marketing messaging all of his friends, asking them to help him transfer news inception of this site for each of the know and get them to buy to help, and after spin the wheel and start appearing in some ads, telling the press for some publicity for his site. On Friday, August 26, 2005 everything was ready and began to work Alex. The first three days managed to Alex from the sale of 400 pixels (equivalent to $ 400). Not a small amount of effort in exchange for the young English simple. Two days after the sale of 100 pixels, and a day later sold another 400, and two days later sold the 200 then began selling to stop, but local media had picked up the news and began transmitted from among them, which led to the sale of 2500 pixels in a single day (September 8, 2005 ), followed by 1900 pixels sold, and so on.
Within two weeks, Alex has made it nearly ten thousand dollars of sales, or 1%, which was planned, and within three weeks he had the security of money enough to spend three years at the university, including accommodation and living conditions (approximately 37 thousand dollars). By Alex go to the University already had sold about 110 thousand pixels, and began to suffer from the large number of interviews and the large number of applications to buy more points, making him stay awake sleepless nights for the implementation of customer orders and answer their questions. At the same time began his global order starts off like a rocket to the top of the standings.
After 38 days to launch his idea of genius, it was Alex has collected a quarter million dollars, that Alex had launched the idea of an entirely new spread as wildfire, and began to hundreds of sites held idea within one month, no wonder the networks of television had begun Requests for interviews with him, and started all the European press and then highlight the location of America and talking about his idea, that Alex believed in it as a compliment to him, but he liked the additions came out of Mimics others.
Company coefficient DSL and put a declaration at the site of one million when Alex, doubled the number of visitors to its 20 times the next day, this increase was all from him, but sales of all sites that have links on the first page in the site laboratories DSL has achieved an increase of 50% in sales during the one week of the ad placement. This is achieved to varying degrees with the rest of advertisers when Alex, and opinion, which may explain the boom is that site visitors Alex are the only segment of customers who did not care about them by the advertiser, and thus made them the best advertising results.
After four months ago, Alex has collected 900 thousand dollars, and at the beginning of the new year, the site visitors millionaire young man crossed the million unique visitors a day, and reached his ranking between sites 127 and the rest of his thousand pixels only, what it was only offered for sale by auction in site EBay English for ten days, and although these thousand pixels was priced supposed thousand dollars, but history in just two days and reached what it was worth to 23 thousand dollars, almost ended the auction at a price of 38 thousand dollars, marking the accession of Alex to a club of millionaires and celebrities.
That the success of Alex brought him enemies of evil hackers, who designed one of them a virus penetrated the 23 thousand computers and intentionally to direct a torrent terrible of requests for visits to the site of Alex even make it fall under the pressure terrible and stop working, not only penetrating this, but sent him a threatening message asking him to pay five thousand dollars in exchange for leaving him in the case, and when Alex was not subject to this threat, the amount increased to fifty thousand.
But Alex has shown us once again that business mentality to the core, as it hurried to make a deal with the protection of sites and data security to protect his position in return for giving Alex ad space on its site. Re Alex fight back, as mandated this threat to the FBI, which began to investigate the matter later. Now came the time of analysis, the benefits out of this story:
• Internet gold mine is still not fully exploited yet, and are still buried there are opportunities waiting to be unearthed. • This is not the first idea that comes to mind Alex, but it has many projects before that did not work as the last. • Alex gave good reasons compelling him to advertise and publicize it, he wanted the money to go to university to study. • Alex committed to the path of the paint for himself, he refused to create a second similar, and committed itself to studying undergraduate. • Alex committed not to scatter money right and left, but the first thing he bought from the money they collected socks and then followed by a digital camera for use in the photograph used in his blog. • the emergence of Alex in the press interviews and television automatically gathered around him more fans and buyers. Now, it appeared similar to the Arab sites? Of course, perhaps the best known site millionaire, who read about it by chance, despite the lapse of one month to launch it I see only a collection of some of the ads that I think she is free, and summarize below some of the reasons for this slow start in the opinion of the Special
• Site completely anonymous did not hear him one, he replicated the idea and thought maybe the owners (as many) that it will succeed alone, and therefore did not care to give publicity to their site as it should. • Site Frosted little renovation, and has pages that have not yet finished. • Site mirror image of the site Alex, without renewal or innovation and marketing this large error. • The site is to make half of revenue in charitable causes, and is constantly the site for at least a year, and style of language used in the pages indicates the lack of confidence in the success of the idea, and can not find the mechanisms to explain how to measure the profit, what are the good, and what are the costs of site management and method of distribution of profits, and so on. • The site does not give us enough information about the company's organization of the site and previous work, and whether the owners who are not their only gain speed. • Of course we must not forget also that many of the ideas that have succeeded in the West did not work when applied in the Arab world, but this issue needs to be another article. In the end, remain achievable aspirations, and Alex the best proof of that.
