So many ways to become a $3 millioniaire

5 replies
Random thoughts for the day... If I could find away to have every single American give me 1 penny, I could retire with $3 million. I am probably not going to have a marketing plan for that, though. What if I could get 10% of the population to give me .10 cents. That too would result in $3 million. Still, that's a lot of people. How about 1% of the population giving me $1. Again, $3 million. So on and so forth. I just like playing the numbers game. Also, forgive my mindless rambling... it is my birthday, afterall!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!

    Well, there ARE "micro payments", but SOMETHING would have to give. Generally, you can NOT get a penny. Of course, it would be difficult to handle such things even in check form.

    mleopold,

    Here is a webpage that brought in a million dollars:

    The Million Dollar Homepage - Own a piece of internet history!

    Here is his FAQ about how he did it:

    The Million Dollar Homepage - FAQ

    He really thought outside of the box. I've now seen a few other people copy his idea and try to make two million dollars with it!

    Enjoy

    BTW I had the same idea about penny stocks! I could have quickly made MILLIONS! I figured out EVERYTHING, right down to the COSTS! NEAR 0% risk! Well, that was BEFORE discount brokers. Brokers never advertised prices, you would ask how much it would cost to buy stocks, etc... I dealt with E.F. Hutton. Well, they had a DIFFERENT method for calculating costs for penny stocks, The instant loss was HUGE, which opened me up to a BIG risk!

    When discount brokers first appeared, I checked with THEM. Their costs weren't as bad, but THEY had a double standard ALSO. My great plan went up in smoke.

    With YOURS it is generally discount rates, and transaction charges,
