Young Entrepreneur sells text to gain his MBA

It’s a tough time for businesses and under pressure workers but also for struggling students with inevitable debts. Entrepreneur Spyros Pyrgiotis, 23, is not only about to embark on an MBA course but he’s one of the youngest ever to be accepted. There is one problem his £17,000 university fees, which is why he set up his unique website Thetextpage.com, which allows businesses to buy characters and provide a link to their website. Spyros explains, “I came up with TheTextpage.com after I spotted a gap in the market for pay per character advertising”, he continues, “Each character costs less than £1.50 ($2) and I’ve already sold over £1,000 of advertising…you only need to buy enough characters to provide a link to your website so it’s a cheap way for business to advertise”. Spyros also has a strong following on his Facebook group, The Text Page, which has over 1,000 members, growing everyday.
To purchase characters advertisers will have to visit the sister page www.thetextpage.info where they can also find information.
The website is a very cheap way to advertise and although it is literally a page full of text companies can choose their text in different colours in order to differentiate it within the page.
Thetextpage.com has attracted over 35,000 unique visitors since the website launched, which attracted coverage from BBC news online.
