Selling land on the moon



This may seem like a crackpot idea that someone like Arthur Daley would try, but there are people selling land on the moon.

You may have seen the recent UK TV programme on C4 on the 4th January 2008 called First Cut: A Piece of the Moon.

A Mr Dennis M. Hope founded the "Lunar Embassy" and has been selling Lunar real estate for a number of years. He has received a lot of publicity, and has appeared in the media. He has a person in the UK selling his Lunar Embassy land on the moon, and this man has got British supermarkets and high street shops such as WH Smith selling it. He featured in the C4 programme - at one stage taking a pro-active approach to selling his moon land by approaching people in the street dressed as an astronaut!

I registered as an affiliate for the Lunar Embassy via a website called Planetaryinvestments. This domain subsequently disappeared (it is now for sale if anyone wants to buy it); I emailed the Lunar Embassy who denied all knowledge of PlanetaryInvestments! Luckily, I hadn't earned any money.

But there are other companies selling land on the moon, such as the Lunar Registry. I have signed up to their affiliate programme, and this makes up another of my eighty ways of making £9 a month.

You could sign up to their affiliate programme, or even sell your own moon land, making your own moon land certificates and sales packs. Some of these moon land companies may have a valid claim to the moon; but, I think most people realise it is a bit of fun, and moon land certificates make a great "tongue in cheek" gift.

I've made a Squidoo page about land on the moon, if you are interested!
