An unemployed 26-year-old Florida man, Jason Sadler, came up with the idea of renting his t-shirt as advertising space and made $83,000 last year:
For his human billboard service, Sadler charges the “face value” of the day so January 1 costs $1, while December 31 costs $365.
Sadler said this may not sound like a lot but it adds up to $66 795 a year if he sells out every day, which he did this year. He also sells monthly sponsorships for $1 500, adding another $18 000 to his income.
“I walk around, take photos, wear the shirt all day… I blog about those photos, I put ’em up on Twitter, I change my Facebook profile… and then I do a Youtube video,” he told Reuters Television.
“I made about $83 000 this year.”
Instead of whining and moaning, he came up with an idea that paid off. That’s the kind of creativity that the left-wing thinks is “unfair” when it brings in the big bucks. Better, they think, to sit on your duff and wait for your government handout. At least that way everyone’s equally miserable.
I say congrats to Sadler and much more success in 2010.
