Businesses help to build a $1 Million dream…

A 22 year old entrepreneur aims to make $1 Million whilst bed bound with a dislocated hip and small businesses are helping out. Richard Stratton came up with the theonebigad.com business web site whilst bed bound with a dislocated hip. He plans to use the money to promote his start up company and to provide one other company with the ultimate advertising budget of $250,000.

Free Business Tips.com.au has decided to come to his aid. I found the entrepreneur while surfing the net for business information. I saw Richard’s plight and thought why not help out and see what was possible?

Richard, who is funding his company himself, by working part time jobs, says he didn’t want to borrow more on top of his university debts.

While in bed with a dislocated hip, he decided to teach himself web design. Richard set out to create a site he had been thinking about for a while and to ultimately generate some money which would pay for his living expenses and help his business venture for which he could do little else due to his dislocation.

Richard explained the concept of theonebigad.com, “advertisers submit a banner for $10. Once 100,000 banner places have been sold one business is selected at random to receive The One Big Ad, the ultimate advertising budget of $250,000.” providing the potential for a television advert on a major network, not to mention all the press attention that would go with it.

To encourage initial sales the first 500 banner entrants will have their banners displayed on a page on theonebigad.com site.

Asked what he will do with the money raised, Richard said, “I hope to make my company as successful as possible, it’s something I have dreamt about for years and I will do anything to make it a reality. Although my dislocated hip seemed like a major setback, maybe thanks to theonebigad.com it will actually end up being a bonus in a somewhat painful disguise!”

Frankly, I don’t expect to make a lot of sales from our ads on Richard’s site, but that’s not the point. The point is he has come up with a good idea, and he has put it out there to have a go. I like that.

And if I can contribute a small amount to help build a dream? Why not?
