At the last month there’s a new website designed by 21 year old student called Alex Tew which has had phenomenal effect on the internet market world. You probably have heard about the milliondollarhomepage.com. If not, then you can always picture the very easy concept for online marketing. The marketers can purchase pixels at the homepage for only $1 for each pixel. You should know that the minimum order is 100 pixels and with this the advertiser really gets the small image that links from the Milliondollarhomepage for the advertiser’s site.
Now those mention above themselves aren’t one that made the site pretty much succesfull. Being granted it’s a unique twist on internet advertising, but let be honest it’s quite much incredible. People have been offering spaces for banners on the websites for many years. For this kind of site to be successful when it needed one key ingredient, and that is exactly the traffic. The hundreds of thousands of people required to go to this site to deliver the advertisers the value of the money.
And then the young student which finally had the idea of submitted press release and then the sold of a story like any good marketer would. How he was only 21 and came up with the simple website to pay his way through the university. Good thing for him is that the worlds press finally found the release and then published it, just like it was a great story. This meant that more people will visit the site, and then the website traffic will be improved. In turn of more journalists picked up on the story and then published it.
The result of it was finally a viral explosion in the traffic which meant that many people purchased marketing space and it’s pretty fair to say that the site has been very highly successful. So you’d probably wondering is this the new marketing tool of the internet? To be honest, this author doesn’t think that too. Once when the hype begin to finally die down, that will lead the story which is not brand new fresh anymore, the press will surely start to publish less article on it. And with less people will finally visit the site. This in turn will lead to even less articles which being published in the worlds of press, that leading to even less visitors.
This kind of cycle will surely be continued and what is originally made this website quite successful with the viral marketing will finally absolutely lead to the death of it. How can internet marketers finally learn from this situation? It’s obvious that the best way to show and sell any kind of new internet venture is to make some kind of interesting story about it. With this you can submit article and press releases, and when the story is good enough, you can easily watch the viral explosion in the visitors. Of course definitely for the long term growth, the new site or service has to be good enough to give value to the visitors, and this is not just a fad which captures the people’s short form of interest.
After read all of this, you will finally thought that Alex Tew is all the best. But to be honest, in my own opinion he too will receive that this is definitely not a long form of business which can go anywhere from here. Being able to do the success in such a young age and the status of being a student is definitely a remarkable act. I might thought that he’s just being lucky, but with his effort on establish the business, well surely he worth the luck.
