My fellow blogger over at Business Opportunities and Ideas blogged back in November 2008 about How To Make A Million Pounds. See his original article here.
In a nutshell Jon broke down the math:
£1M = P x S
Where £1M is your target earnings, P is the profit you make on each sale and S is the number of sales you need to make make. If we use the formula we can work out some numbers:
| Profit Per Sale | Number You Need To Sell |
| £1 | 1,000,000 |
| £10 | 100,000 |
| £100 | 10,000 |
| £1,000 | 1,000 |
| £10,000 | 100 |
Then a 28 year old teacher from the UK Chrissi Sharkey read the article and saw not just how simple the concept is, but that it presents a business opportunity too. She has developed a Internet meme/concept called aMillionJobsToDo.com
The concept
Simply – a million jobs for £1 each would giver her £1 million. She will do anything from face painting to personal shopping, writing Christmas cards to painting. She has already brought in £3293.28 so far!
I really do think this concept has mileage but its a huge task – 1 million jobs! Look at it weekly:
1,000,000 Days divided by 7 = 142,857.14 weeks!!!!
It needs to have a time line e.g. 18 months etc and maybe you could appeal to businesses aswell? I will follow this with interest and also how long until the copycat sites turn up????
