My Blog, Your Money

I like reading the Oddly Enough section of Reuters and saw something that really piqued my interest: Man makes living by selling the shirt on his back.  Jason Sadler founded www.iwearyourshirt.com where he sells days in which he’ll wear a company’s shirt.  It sounded a bit silly to me at first, but he’s a former marketing professional and uses a variety of social media sites to supposedly earn his fees.

I took a look at his site and his pricing scheme is interesting.  It starts at $1 on January 1 and then increases $1 everyday so December 31 would be $365.  If he sold out a whole year, he would make $66,795.  And business seems to be going well – he’s expanding to add another guy on the West Coast and doubling his rates.  I bet he saves a lot of money not buying his own shirts too.

Who knows what else is next?  Out of curiosity, I looked up iwearyourhat.com and iwearyourpants.com and both were taken already!
