In homage to The
Million Dollar Home Page, one of the most brilliant ideas to
happen on the web, I created the 100K Dollar Home Page. My goal
is to generate $100,000 to fund my new web business.
We have got our site off the ground (View
Here), but need to raise money for new computer equipment, software,
cameras, and video equipment. I would like to turn this venture
into a full-blown web design company.

The concept is simple, I am trying to raise $100,000 by selling
1,000,000 pixels of advertising space for 10 cents each. The home
page consists of a 1000x1000 grid of pixels broke up into 10 x 10
pixel blocks.
Top
You participate by buying pixels on the grid. You must first create
and validate your account. You can then fill the available pixels
of your chose with an image (i.e. your signature, company logo,
your photo etc.), and then link to whatever URL you wish. Your name
and URL will also appear in a pop up when someone rolls over your
pixels on the webpage.
Pixels must be bought in 10x10 Pixel blocks at the cost of $10
per block. Examples include 100x10, 200x100, 300x300 and so on.

For starters you will be advertising on a highly publicized, high
traffic site. You will have an image and link online forever with
the potential to be seen by millions.

My name is Rodney Myers and I live in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. I am
42 years old. After spending 20 years working in retail, with the
help of my wife and family, I quit my job and started my own business.
Things have been rough over the past few years and I recently failed
to qualify for a business loan. I have had no luck getting any grants,
SBA loans and/or other funding. I feel I have a lot to give in the
field of web design and want to raise the funds to do so.
Top
To put it simple...I didn't. The idea was originally developed
by Alex Tew, a college student from England, who designed The
Million Dollar Homepage. He raised a million dollars for college
in less than a year.
Top
I feel to take my idea to it's highest potential that would be
a good start. Top
The money will be used to fund new equipment such as to update
my old computer system, new software, camera and video equipment,
and advertising.
Top
I will keep the site online forever. Top
For pixel purchases we accept Paypal. If you don't already have
an account, you can still use a major credit card through Paypal. Top
The minimum purchase is a 10x10 block of pixels at $10. The maximum
purchase is only limited to the amount of available pixels. Top
Our website will automatically round up, buying enough blocks for
your image to fit. Top
Please keep your images and URLs clean in nature. I will not accept
payments, links, or images from any pornographic sites. Top
