A Bulgarian sells 1000 of the most used Internet words, and plans to shoot his debut movie with the earned money, netinfo.bg reports. The 27-year-old Nikola Raikov offers an intriguing deal at his site 1000wordsforsale.com. Everyone, willing to buy his own word, can do it for 100 dollars in exchange.
The buyer receives its rights for 10 years and it becomes a link to his personal website, appearing in the searching results and thus generating traffic to the site.
The purchase has several conditions, though. The owner of the word cannot correct and is allowed to use it only in its plural.
Owners of more than one word are allowed to re-sell it and 50 % of the profit remains for them. In this case, they are obliged only to inform Raikov for the deal and inform him of the new owner's contact details.
The site has been active since February 2 and has already sold four words: legal, new, night and power.
Nikola Raikov was born in Stara Zagora in 1981. He graduates Informatics at Chicago University, but comes back to his home town, where he owns a web design firm.
He is the author of five short stories and in 2005 wins the jury's prize for best film project at Balchik Film Festival for his screenplay, titled "Enter". Raikov plans to shoot the movie with the money raised at 1000wordsforsale.com.
