My Barack T-Shirt...



People loved me today.

Well, they loved my T-Shirt because they all said so.

Anyway, I wrote more about this here:

I have a popular T-Shirt



Today I got the most welcoming looks ever.

There were so many people who gave me a "great Shirt"
or a "Yeah" as I passed them it was a little silly.

People were acting like I was their friend, and it was all because of my T-Shirt.

Actually, it was all because of a man.
Actually, it was all because of a message that man gives.

The message of Hope.
Isn't that reason enough to vote for that man and his message?

Someone else said "They'll never let it happen" and "They'll kill him if he gets there".

I think that would just be the saddest thing ever.

Anyway, this is a business blog, so let me just say that T-Shirt advertising certainly still works. The question is- what message are you advertising?

On another note, two different people swore to me that they wanted their own T-Shirt, so I gave them my info to email me so they could.

Neither did it.

So, in my own dealings with people, I think it would be wise to realize that most people will do NOTHING if given the chance.

Remember that when you're prospecting;
If not even Barack Obama can move his people to action, maybe your message better be more than hope.

An Idea for Heifer.org...

I really love donating to http://www.Heifer.org.

In my ebook "How To Make Money and Have Sex In The Same Room Everyday"
I tell their story, and ask people to donate to the charity at the end.

Well, I recently had an Idea for them, so I sent this letter:
********************************************

Dear Heifer.org,

I had an idea.

I love donating on your site, and do I when I can. I also donate to
other charities,
but with yours that feeling of "buying" the gifts is just superb.

I really feel like I'm shopping, and the whole idea is genius.

I also occasionally do events for charities, and really love the
"personal donation pages"
that so many charities have now. Here are three of mine:

http://www.FirstGiving.org/BonesRodriguez
http://www.TheOvernight.org/Fundraising/Bones
http://www.Bones.HubHub.org

I was thinking how much more donations you would get if you had these kinds of
"personal giving" pages, where it's not just for events and people to
donate on, but even
the original donor would have their own portal.

For instance, at www.Heifer.org/Bones not only could other people
donate to it, and
"shop" for the gifts they'd like giving, they would of course be
offered their own site.

HOWEVER, if BONES goes to his own site, it would be a "shopping experience" like
at amazon.com- it could tell me what I bought last time, when the last
time I donated was,
where my purchases have gone, etc. You could do a myriad of things to make it a
"Shopping experience" that people would want to KEEP doing. They might even see
what their friends have bought recently (with everyone's permission of
course), and
maybe even send requests to their friends to "chip in" on promise
baskets and arks,
or any of the other "high-ticket" items.

I really think that Heifer is doing such great work, and I hope that
these ideas help
you go forward in expanding your reach and influence.

********************************************

We'll see what they do with it!

Sometimes, my friends rock...

I entered an online video contest, and I asked my friends to vote "10" for me:

http://www.marketingdoover.com/contestant/1118990

A few did (and the contest goes until July 28th), and that was cool.

But what was even BETTER, is that some voted a "10" for me, but ALSO
gave some of the other contestants crappy votes.

Now, I'm not for throwing the other guy under the bus, it's just that
my video IS better than the rest:

http://www.marketingdoover.com/contestant/1118990

I want to do well in this contest so badly, I even made it's own site,
with it's own story an everything:

http://www.BonesNeedsAMarketingDoOver.com

PLEASE HELP ME!!
I definitely didn't get the number of votes I'm hoping to get yet,
so please just take 2 minutes and vote for me:

http://www.marketingdoover.com/contestant/1118990

Then YOU can be on the list of cool friends!
