The Record Breaking Blog
Here's what's up, what's down, and what's going on in my record-breaking world.Thursday, January 05, 2006
It's that time of the year when you draw up your New Years Resolutions, sincerely believe this year you will actually go through with them, only to forget about them by January 7. However, this time around, my New Year's Resolution is not to exercise more or eat healthier. It's to break this damn record and create the most incredible publicity stunt the world has ever seen. That's right, I'm breaking this record in 2006!
The support from everyone these past 2 months has been absolutely inspiring. It is incredible how many people can get behind an idea so quickly and help propel it forward. Take The Million Dollar Homepage for example. Alex Tew's is hours away from reaching the million-dollar mark no one thought possible 4 months ago. And as a result of it being featured on CNN, Yahoo News, and elsewhere, hits to every pixel on there, including those linking to my domain, have increased exponentially in the past few days. That says it all folks, these types of ideas work and they work exceptionally well thanks to the global accessibility the internet provides. The Million Dollar Homepage has become a black hole of publicity, sucking in all the attention that goes near it, while giving all the advertisers quick enough to have gotten a spot on there an incredibly good value for their money. If you think about it, The Million Dollar Homepage has given a lot of publicity to hundreds of advertisers on there. My domain, on the other hand, will be giving unparalleled publicity to only ONE advertiser bold enough to make it happen.
As everyone knows, to help break this record as soon as possible, I'm looking for a Graphic Designer to design all the merchandise that will help spread this domain all over the world. The initial response to my Wanted Ad was better than expected, so I've decided to turn it into a full-on contest and let YOU, the public, my visitors, my supporters, decide who will be The Record-Breaking Designer. All the details can be found on the Contest Page. This competition will help create record-breaking merchandise, which will be made available starting the 2nd week of February.
That's it for 2005. Try to stick to your New Year's Resolutions. I know I will this time around.
