FAQ

You guessed it. On this page you will find answers to some of the most frequently asked questions. Got a question not answered here? Please get in touch.

1. What is the idea?

The idea is simple: to try and make $1m (US) by selling 1,000,000 pixels for $1 each. Hence, 'The Million DollarWomens Homepage". The main motivation for doing this is to help develop business models for women and donate to our favorite charities that support women in business.  We’ll be sharing with everyone exactly what we did and how we did it.  While we inspire women in business we’ll also be donating $100,000 to financially support our mission of developing enlightened business owners so they can give back to their communities.  
So, everyone is welcome to buy my pixels, which are available in 100-pixel 'blocks' (each measuring 10x10 pixels). You will see the homepage is divided into 10,000 of these 100-pixel blocks (hence there are 1,000,000 pixels in total). The reason for selling them in 100-pixel blocks is because anything smaller would be too small to display anything meaningful.
You can buy as many pixels as you like, as long as there are some available (see the live stats in the top right corner of the page). When you buy some pixels, you can then display an image/ad/logo of your choice in the space you have purchased. You can also have the image click through to your own website. However, no obscene or offensive images are allowed.
The pixels you buy will be displayed on the homepage permanently. The homepage will not change. Using some of the money I make from the site, I guarantee to keep it online for at least 5 years, but hopefully much longer. I want it to become a kind of women on the internet time capsule. So, in the long run, I believe the pixels will offer good value. You will have a piece of women’s internet history!

2. Who are you?

My name is Teresa Luquette,  home based entrepreneur, wife and mother of two daughters, 41 years old and I live in a small town in Texas.  I have an internet based business 7FigureBusiness™  where I teach entrepreneurs to develop their own 7FigureBusiness™  using the systems I’ve created to develop my own small businesses.    I got the MillionDollarWomensHomepage idea after finding out about this genius kid who is raising over 1M using this model so he could go to college debt free.  Alex Tew, is a 21 years old and who lives in a small town in Wiltshire, England. He started at University in England at the end of September, in Business Management. Faced with the prospect of graduating after 3 years with a huge debt, he thought he would try and make some money ($1m would do the trick!)  As of October 14th, he’d made over $382,000.  Last time I looked he had made around 20K in one day.  You can check out the original page at www.milliondollarhomepage.com

3. Are you genuine/is this a joke?

I am completely genuine and although this site might be funny in various ways, it is not a joke! I really am selling pixels for $1 each, because I want to see if it can be done and how easy women can make money and support the growth of each other’s businesses using unique models.   I am now a pixel hustler and proud especially if I make lots of money really fast and help other women entrepreneurs in the process! People (including Alex himself) don't think it can be done!

4. How did you come up with the idea?

I got this idea after finding out about this genius kid who was raising over 1M using this model so he could go to college debt free.  Alex Tew, is a 21 years old and who lives in a small town in Wiltshire, England. He started at University in England at the end of September, in Business Management. Faced with the prospect of graduating after 3 years with a huge debt, he thought he would try and make some money ($1m would do the trick!)  As of October 14th, he’d made over $382,000. 

Here’s Alex’s story on how he got the idea:

It was a muggy summer's night late in August, the time around midnight, and there I was, lying on my bed with a notepad, brainstorming ideas to make money for uni. I think I'm quite a creative person, so I wanted to come up with an idea that was unique and would hopefully capture people's imagination, but with the whole purpose of making money. No point being shy about it! I think we brits can sometimes be too shy about money. Well bugger that, I DO NOT want to be a broke student!
So anyway, after an hour of two of jotting random things on paper, the idea seemingly popped out of nowhere. Almost like my subconscious mind had been ticking over in the background, working it all out. So it just kind of happened. That's about it. I scribbled it down and within about 10 minutes a picture of what needed to be done had emerged.

5. What will you do with the money?

I’ll be able to further my destiny of helping women develop their own 7FigureBusinesses so they can have the freedom and lifestyle that comes along with being a successful entrepreneur.  And, I’ll have lots of money to fund my favorite Women’s Business Organizations.   Together we’ll continue to develop enlightened businesses and fulfill our roles of being Ambassadors of Enlightened Business development where we promote creating successful businesses as a means of giving back to our communities.  

Here’s what Alex plans to do with the money he makes:

First and foremost, if I make enough money, I will pay my way through University. That includes 3 years worth of tuition fees, accommodation fees, textbooks etc, and [god forbid] - having a social life!
After that, I would like to pay for my parents to have some time off because they work so hard and they deserve a break. I would like to return some of the support they have given me over all these years.
Thirdly... socks! I definitely need some new socks. Whenever I buy new ones they seem to disappear, or they disintegrate. So I want to buy some really expensive, long-lasting socks.
Finally... if I reach the $1m target and still have money left over after buying my swanky new socks, then I have a couple of interesting business ideas I would love to invest some money in. So watch this space!

6. Why should I buy your pixels?

Because you will have an image and a link to your site on the homepage of a site that could potentially be seen by millions of people over the coming years. The site will be online for at least 5 years, that's guaranteed, but the idea is to keep it online forever. So you really could own a piece of 'women’s internet history'!

7. Why can't I buy one single pixel?

It would probably be cool if individuals could buy a single pixel each, in practice, it wouldn't so effective. The reason I believe this is because you can't display anything meaningful in one pixel - nor click it easily - so visually, it would be pointless. With thousands of random tiny colored dots all over the place, the homepage would look ghastly.
The site will appeal more to people with businesses/websites to advertise than it would to individuals, or to put it more accurately, businesses would pay more to have a meaningful graphic on the homepage. Hence the minimum purchase is $100 - a 10x10 block.
However! If you really want to own a single pixel, there is always the option of clubbing together with your friends/family/colleagues and buying a 10x10 block.

8. How long will the site be online?

The site will be online for 5 years guaranteed (at least until November 1st, 2010), however the aim is to keep the site online forever (or as long as humanly possible).
The idea is to create something of an internet time capsule: a homepage that is unique and permanent. Everything on the internet keeps changing so fast, it will be nice to have something that stays solid and permanent for many years. You can be a part of that!
