Default There are brilliant ideas everywhere you look

Hi all!

I just came across this guy's website today: I Wear Your Shirt - 365 Days of Sponsored Shirts

He is charging people and companies to wear their shirts based on the day of the year. $1 for Jan 1 up to $365 for Dec 31. He sold out the whole year of 2009. Now the price starts at $2/day up to $730 for Dec 31 and he is already sold out through May 2010!

How many times have you refused to buy a shirt festooned with a logo because you thought to yourself, "No way am I going to be a walking billboard? They ought to pay me to advertise for them!" Well, this guy managed to do just that!

This just goes to show that there are business ideas and ways of manifesting that you or I have never even dreamed of!

Dream on!

ha ha! That is fantastic. God damn it why do I never come up with these ingenious ideas?

It reminds me of that million dollar homepage idea.

The key to ingeniously simple ideas is to act on them - several times in my life I have thought 'why don't "they" do this or that' and instead of doing it myself I watch - shattered - as someone else 'pinches' my idea and implements it just a few months later.

I am a bit of a believer that there are "ideas whose time has come" and if you are thinking it, there's a good chance so is someone else. One of you will implement it, the rest won't.

Smile How About "I'll Wear Your Hat"

How about "I'll wear your hat?" You can give him some competition.
