Marketing article: A Student Sells Pixels To Earn A Million Dollars

And do you think that at that time, if many other children had had chance to use that 'computer' like Bill, would Microsoft Windows had been the 'best and only' choice, I think, for almost home computer users nowadays?

What should Bill Gates do with 1% of his fortune?

Bill Gates will use all of his money to do charity. 60 billion dollars is such a gigantic amount of money but someday it will be used up and will be no longer that much. So where will another 60 billion dollars come from?

It can not come from any organizations or governments. It can only come from another billionaire.

What I think is it's worthy for Bill Gates to think about spending 1% of his fortune to find other 'Bill Gates', who can be a millionaire, and who has potentials to help their country and maybe change the world. Of course, he has scholarship foundations for outstanding students, but what about students who do not have a chance to demonstrate their potentials? They can be in every corner of the world

So, what is the idea?

Last year, after Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) rejected my application, I just wished I had a more fair competition. It could have been another story if I had attended high school in Singapore, Australia, or US … I may be rejected not because I'm not that good, just because I came from the place that no one in the 'big world' out there know and even my teacher can't write in English for me a recommendation.

As what written in a book, "if you have 5 dollars, you can't do anything then if you have 1 millions dollars, you still can't do anything", I do not blame one anything. I want to be the "solution" of the problem, not the "problem" itself, so what I think is

"If they do not give me a scholarship, why do not I make it myself?" Catch the ideal of Alex Tew, a student, who have earned a million dollar just by selling a millions pixels, now I'm selling my pixels to earn my own scholarship and I will use the rest of it to found a foundation to find and help other students who have the potentials to change the world or at least make it a little bit better.

Am I just joking and dreaming?

Definitely not.

Why should people buy these pixels?

I guarantee that this site will be online at east 5 years. Actually, I intend to keep this site online permanently, which mean that when you buy these pixels, you probably reserve your place for future and be a part of the history. Your pixels will be seen by millions and millions people for years and years, this is one of the cheapest advertising services in the world ever.

You can change the image as well as the link whenever you want. You can sell your pixels whenever you want after buying it. Now it cost just 1 dollar for each pixel but who knows how much it cost 1 month later, 1 year later, 5 year later, or 20 years later…

Another reason is when you buy these pixels, actually you are contributing to the foundation, which mean you are doing something help us and will help many other people. You are doing something really meaningful.

Why will I do with a million dollars in detail?

I will use 1/3 of a million dollars to spend for my own scholarship to go oversea to study, build up my other ideals, help my parents, and give to my high school.

1/5 of a million dollars I will spend on helping protect and improve the environment in my city which is pretty polluted right now because of the industrialization.

The rest I will use for founding a foundation named “everyone has a chance” to find and help best high school students around my country to go to study oversea. No matter whom they are, where they live… they must be students who have potentiality to be billionaires, to help millions of people, or to change and make world or at least my country better. You may say I'm such a dreamer but actually I’m not kidding!

One of the constraints is these students have to contribute a part their later fortunes to the foundation which will make the foundation become bigger.
