Grown-Up Gig I Wear Your Shirt

Grown-Up Gig I Wear Your Shirt People, before I go any further, this post is not a joke. This is a very real, lucrative career for one man. Hes a grown-up, and for a livinghe wears your shirt. Thats right. A company pays him to wear their branded shirt (the day of the year amounts to what he charges, so Jan 1st = $1 Dec 31st = $365), which he does all day. Throughout that day, he post photos to his blog Flickr (while wearing your shirt), uploads videos to YouTube UStream.tv (while wearing your shirt), tweets about it places your logo website on his calendar (wearing of shirt unknown). Jason.wearing your shirt. Image from his Flickr account. I repeat myself: This is his career. And he makes it a damn good one. Sowhat makes wearing a branded shirt a successful career for a grown-up? Its obvious that Jason is passionate about marketing, particularly social media. Hes really good at what he does, whether its writing blog posts, making videos, or tweeting. Just look at this mans twitter stream. Hes a twexpert. Jason is a great relationship-builder. He makes you give a damn about the shirt hes wearing, because he presents himself as a down-to-earth, funny guy that youd wanna have a beer with. He takes this seriously. Such a silly idea, such great execution. He keeps the silliness in his photos videos, but not in terms of his advertisers. Now, Im not sure if he takes everyone that gives him money for that particular date, but his calendar is full of great small businesses not-for-profits, like Childs Play, Senor Sangria (howd they know what I was drinking right now?!) Mama Says. Its cool. Buying someones chest is cool. Paying the amount of money that corresponds to that day is cool. Its allreally cool! He supplements his income from, uh, wearing shirts with making videos of his trip to your company, having monthly sponsors for his calendar. If youre thinking of going way out of the box (as in, like, wearing shirts for a living. Is anyone else as amazed by this as I am?!), dont forget to add the ingredients listed above (but tweak em around your passion, skill set talents)!
