Making Money with the Million Dollar Wiki
Some of you who remember the Million Dollar Homepage and it looks like someone may have come up with an equally ingenious way to make a million bucks. The Million Dollar Wiki is a wiki (imagine that) that is selling every topic page on the wiki for $100. The founder hopes to sell 10,000 pages and make a million dollars (or more since he’ll keep selling pages after that I’m sure.)
Normally this wouldn’t be much of a big deal but this place is really picking up steam with both John Chow and Shoemoney buying pages and blogging about it, it’s really picking up steam now and he’s already sold nearly 1000 pages. You also get resale rights on any pages you buy once the goal has been met, which for some of the premium pages can turn into quite a profit if this thing gets as big as it has potential to. I think this is a really genius idea because once people buy these pages on the wiki they effectively become a marketing force for the wiki itself, it’s the sort of thing that can really take on a life of it’s own.
I even bought a page of my own on Foreign Exchange to give some info on what forex is as well as get people to sign up for a forex account with Easy Forex. The affiliate program for this is run through Forex Affiliate which seems good and provides recurring payments for referrals. I’ll keep you posted on whether this thing turns a profit for me or not.
John Chow is also running a blog contest involving the wiki, basically you can blog about the contest and/or buy pages to enter. If you want to buy a page I definitely recommend checking out John Chow’s contest page because he also has a coupon code where you can get $10 off a page purchase. Use coupon code JohnChow to save $10 on a page.
