First it was Big Brother,
Survivor, the Apprentice and then American Idol. Now a new a reality website
called www.milliondollarinternetcelebrity.com
is offering every internet user the chance to become the next big international
Celebrity.
Offering the winner free worldwide publicity, and a prize of up to $250,000 in cash, the website gives millions of Americans chasing the dream of being the next Kelly Clarkson, Parish Hilton, 50 Cent, JK Rowling, J-Lo or Brad Pitt a chance to become the next 'big thing'. The website is the brainchild of Robbert J. Lynch, an office manager in Ireland, who came up with idea after seeing a newspaper article on the www.milliondollarhomepage.com website in 2005. Lynch said, The idea behind milliondollarhomepage was great, but rather than just profit from selling advertising space this website shares the profits with the winner and can help make their dreams of stardom become a reality. To win each aspiring internet celebrity buys a block of a minimum of 100 pixels on the milliondollarinternetcelebrity.com webpage, costing $50 dollars. Every time their pixels get a hit or are clicked on it registers on the website. At the end of the contest, 6.00 pm (GMT) Wednesday 18th April 2007, the owner of the pixels that get the most hits or clicks is the winner. The website will seek to generate publicity and draw the attention, and curiosity, of talent agents, model agencies, music scouts, acting agencies and those professionals involved in the entertainment industries who are on the lookout for new, raw and exciting talent. "How many of today's top musicians, bands, supermodels and actors were 'discovered' by chance? We believe that this website will give the ordinary person the unique opportunity to reach an international audience and the people at the top, the career makers...one that they might never have had otherwise" Robbert said. "So far the reaction to the website has been great" said Lynch, "We have singers and bands from all over the world including the US, Canada, UK, Australia and South Korea. We even have an Elvis tribute artist featured on the website." Unlike some of the other pixel-for-sale websites that have sprung up all over the internet, the winner on milliondollarinternetcelebrity.com shares in the money generated by the sale of pixels on the site getting 50% of up to a $500,000 dollars. Lynch said "Being a celebrity these days is expensive, I'm sure whoever wins could find a good use for the prize money in supporting their career". Pixels on the milliondollarinternetcelebrity.com website have a link to the persons individual website or weblog (blog). When the pixels are clicked the viewer is brought to the website or weblog (blog) where they see who the person is, what they do and why they should be an 'internet celebrity'. "We are looking for genuinely talented people to buy pixels. We want people with unique skills, talents or abilities to have the opportunity to step up and show the world who they are and what they can do." In support of pixel owners the website provides a wide range of tips and ideas to prospective 'internet celebrities' on how best to promote themselves, how get their own website or blog and in seeking the support of others. Yes, it is a bit of a popularity contest, but so is Big Brother and American Idol I dont think Kelly Clarkson is complaining though. We want our website to be something that everybody can participate in. We hope people will get support from their family, friends, neighbours and colleagues to become the milliondollarinternetcelebrity.
