Money at the top of the Blogosphere

Check this out!

This article is just one of many examples of the infinite opportunities on the internet.

In Aug 2005, an unbelievably simple idea that is MillionDollarHomePage made creator Alex Tew, then a student at the University of Nottingham, a millionaire overnight.

His second project Pixelotto runs off the same idea, only it's bigger, promising visitors a chance at the million dollar jackpot and a chance to give $100k to a charity of their choice.

In Oct 2006, Google bought Youtube for an amazing $1.65 billion. And it wasn't so long ago that Youtube was created in co-founder Chad Hurley's garage in February 2005- just 20 months ago.

Now Youtube serves over 72 million regular viewers daily.

So what have we learned from these success stories?

• Let users create their own content.
• Get as much press coverage as possible.
• Keep it simple. The simplest ideas can sometimes be the most powerful.
