Belarus is a dictatorship, and it can be not so easy to pursue your dreams there. However, opportunities are still there, as long as you have the Internet.

At least, that’s what a young woman from Mahilyow, Belarus concluded, when she started her 3 Million Page project.

Anna, site’s founder, was inspired by the success of Alex Tew, a British student who’ve made $1 Mln by selling online advertising space, $1 per pixel.

In 2005, Alex built a website named The Million Dollar Homepage, divided site’s front page into 1 Mln pixels, and started selling advertising space for $1 per pixel, until he made $1,000,000.

Anna decided not just to copy Tew’s idea, but also to take it to the next level, having 10 panels (1 million pixels each), selling each pixel for $0.30 instead of Alex’s $1, and thus aiming at $3,000,000.

On her website, 3 Million Page, Anna invites advertisers to become a part of Internet history and place an ad. After all the pixels are sold, she says, the website would become the most expensive one ever, thus attracting lots of attention and therefore being a great place to advertise your business for peanuts.

There’s a counter on her site that shows how many pixels are sold. Will her website set the world record as the most expensive one? Let’s see; we will be watching this ambitious project closely.
