As I’ve mentioned about my little ‘pet project’ before, I need to raise a fair amount of funds to get it up and running…

Pre-launch view

Having explored commercial sponsorship via a trusted friend – I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s not the best option (of course that’s not to say I wouldn’t be happy to talk to any potential sponsors). I don’t thinks it’s necessarily the quickest option, I really need to keep the details of what I’m doing secret – until I can actually do it, and then there’s a matter of control – I simply don’t want to give any away!

So, how can I raise the necessary money?

I’ve come to the conclusion to simply sell something of value, separate from the rest of our business to fund my dream. After all who the hell is going to give me money when they don’t actually know exactly what it’s for!

Realistically of course I’m going to have to start with family and friends to get some momentum going and try and and apply something of the principles of Six Degrees of Separation…

Based on the original by Alex Tew I’ve installed a million pixel script on the site and will be selling links on it. It’s $10 for a block of 100 pixels.

Why should you buy pixels from me?

1. To promote your website or blog (as you can see from the image above users rolling over your pixel blocks will see your logo or message)
2. Quality back links from my site (SEO friendly with title and alt tags)
3. I’m going to be promoting the site (and therefore you) heavily
4. When you see the project come to fruition I think you’ll feel good to be a part of it!

Why not dive in and just do it now? Click here to buy some pixels – it only takes a couple of minutes, and I promise you the money is going to a good cause…
