Monetizing and Designitizing



My second favorite blog has recently gotten me thinking about exploiting MàT's cashflow capabilities in some way. It's a no-brainer. For those of you too lazy to click on the link in the lead sentence, Zoo with Roy (the owner of which is an accountant somewhere outside of Philadelphia) has been selling tee-shirts, some of which I don't even understand, and making loads of bank.

Here are some ways I've thought about making money through this site:

1) Selling the socks we've used in training for our marathon.
2) Making and selling a number one rap song.
3) Advertising Natalie's services as a wet nurse.
4) Porn. (The title obviously lends itself to this.)
5) Tee-shirts and/or jerseys

This last option brings me to the second theme of this post, namely that of design. You'll all notice that the background and color scheme have gone through somewhat of a transformation since the last time you stopped by. I think the reasons for both are obvious, but if you're confused then you should read/watch Ross's last post.

That being said, I will be making jerseys and potentially a new line of running shoes (still need to get James on board for this last idea) for our epic run. Here is a sketch of where my head is at. Think of it is more of a brainstorm than anything else. I'm anxious to get your feedback.


PS - Still on the design front, I fargled up the font settings in such a way that our Week 1 Recap looks retarded. If either of you guys can fix this, I'll give you a thousand dollars.
