The $1m Grid is a visual representation of my 10-year journey to make $1 million by building projects and documenting everything on this blog.
What is it?
The grid represents all 1,000 squares that make up $1 million (each square = $1000). It serves as a:
- Motivational tool: Seeing the visual progress keeps me accountable
- Transparency experiment: Sharing my financial journey publicly
- Learning documentation: Tracking what works and what doesn’t as I build multiple projects
- Community engagement: Allowing others to follow along and learn from my successes and failures
The Challenge Structure
The core of this challenge involves:
- Launching multiple projects and small bets over 10 years
- Building strong dev and marketing skills
- Creating a large surface area for potential success
- Documenting the entire process publicly
Follow along as I fill in the grid, one square at a time, on my path to $1 million!
Revenue Sources
The grid has generated revenue through sponsorships, where companies can purchase individual $1,000 squares to showcase their brand. Each sponsored square includes:
- Company color (or logo) displayed in the grid
- Link to their website
- Supporting the transparent documentation of this journey
This sponsorship model has helped fill several squares while providing value to companies wanting to reach my audience.
