Meanwhile I'll walking around with a full body PFIZER tattoo, wearing a speedo. That's where the real money's at!

Farkers steal idea en masse, perplexing run on tee shirt domains and ponchos imminent.

I got a better idea, pay hot girls with big asses and sharp knees to wear jeans with the logo on them. I get 50% of the profit.

Pimpin IS easy.

You just have to find a company whose key demographic is that 1 person who sees you naked a lot.

I thought he just had to wear the shirts. No, he has to do social marketing stuff, like make youtube ads and promote crap on facebook.

You know dude has no friends left.

I will write with your company logo pen. I probably already have it in this desk drawer.

I have a better marketing scheme: go to public places and shout the name of the product at the top of your lungs, then leave for the next place.

"Our father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy..."
"HOOTERS! IF YOU LOVE TITS GO TO HOOTERS!"

"And one and two and push those legs..."
"HERSHEYS! YOU KNOW YOU WANT IT YOU FAT farkS!"

"My name is Bob, and I'm an alco...

I'd hire him to wear a herpes product shirt, or a NAMBLA shirt just for the fun of it.

These businesses only work because businesses know there's a chance of this being a news item which then gets their name into the news. The value of being on 1 man's t-shirt is about nil.

It's like those "million pixel sites". It also means that you can't copy his idea because it's a one-off fad that people get bored with.

If he's smart, he'll sell it to some mug very quickly and find something else to do.

Not impressed:

90% of marketing is selling your marketing service to the clients, not selling the clients' services or products to the consumer.

This guy is good at marketing. The people you have to BS are the ones paying you, not the people who might actually see your shirt, Facebook page, whatever.

But I only like playing with my paddle mama!

If you actually read the article you'll see that it's a lot more involved then just wearing a t-shirt everyday. The guy's got a mini marketing business going, more power to him.

Mom?

I started following the "I wear your shirt" Twitter account early about a year ago and it used to be a hot chick that wore the shirt. Then one day this dude showed up. I thought it was Stewart from Mad TV.

Nick Nostril: How many of you make that kind of dough Farking all day?

Well I guess if you work at a high end escort service...

This guy is good at marketing. The people you have to BS are the ones paying you, not the people who might actually see your shirt, Facebook page, whatever.

THIS to a point, companies have gotten rather good tracking who they generate sales. The value of his face time will drop as companies see where and how their sales leads come in.

Its cool idea and he stayed gainfully employed for about a year, stayed off the taxer payers dole, good for him. Like most optimists this guy thinks he had the next hot thing going. He got lucky this year. Unfortunately next year he might just collecting an unemployment check if he sticks with it.

There are many others with a better ability to get in front of more eyeballs: Musicians of all kinds, local sports teams tournaments (softball, soccer, basketball etc...). Race Car Drivers at all levels have perfected the art of being the human bill board across the world.

His business model has a very low barrier to entry. He'll need another gimmick besides wearing a T shirt or using hot models where T-Shirts.

Man makes $90,000 a year just by wearing a different company's t-shirt everyday every day.

Ridiculous. I wish I had marketing savvy like that. The IT road is narrow...

Good on this guy, but sales is one world I will never get into. Makes me wanna slash my wrists.

As a matter of fact, I have this great knife over here, watch me cut this can in half, then see how easily is cute rights into the skin and splits the vein. Look at that folks...see...how cleanly...it.......

THIS, I tried to do sales many moons ago, I didn't have the gift and skillz.

It's a brutal world, everything you do is measurable and quantifiable. Out of 100 cold calls you'll get 15 long term leads and 5 hot leads (time frame depends on the business). Even with a hot lead you still have to face competition and close the deal.

Many sales managers are under the mistaken assumption that everyone you contact is a "Hot Lead". Especially the guys that are paid based on units sold (sales managers in car dealerships are pretty infamous). They have a nasty habit of putting enormous pressure on sales staff and customers to close every deal, 100 for 100, is their goal. If you don't meet your numbers you are GONE.

Marketing and Advertising is similar but the cause and effect is less direct. Even there, they try to tie results to dollars spent on a specific ad or marketing campaign. The wife was a marketing major.

If his gimmick ever fails, he could be very successful as a panhandler.

According to the Straight Dope, a good panhandler can average 200$ a day in Toronto.

So if you panhandle 5 days a week, that's 260 days a year, you can earn 52,000$ in undeclared, tax-free income.

And if you managed to get on welfare and find subsidized housing, you're almost technically middle-class in terms of revenues.

1) I'm a leech, who's only skill is convincing others that I provide value that does not exist. I hate it, but it seems like its the only work available for me (only a few years out of college). The only value I provide is that I tolerate stupidity and act as a whipping post so the technical folks (I am one, but they don't hire me) can actually get their work done.

2) However, I do work from home. Actually in pajama's right now on a conference call and its the best thing ever. My cube is my office in my basement. Only complaint is that it can get a little stir crazy. The bar helps. and my dog wants my attention all day. She's needy.

Tentacle: So if you panhandle 5 days a week, that's 260 days a year, you can earn 52,000$ in undeclared, tax-free income.

For all intents and reason, that IS almost $90,000 a year. Not too shabby, but I bet he would work just as hard at not working than a lot of people do at work.

we had a competitor do this... pay him to wear the shirt. It is smart for him, but stupid for any company to pay for this (even if it is inexpensive) - it is just money down the toilet

How much is that in non-Nazi currency?
