The PORN T-Shirt. Here’s The Deal.

Jenny from workinonaramp has written this post about the PORN t-shirt – the backstory and where you can buy it, please go buy it – so I guess we really are in business.

We’re deliberating between being millionaires or artists. Hugh McLeod gets us. (Conceptually. He’s never actually heard of us. If he did, Jenny would lose her mind. Kinda like if Malcolm Gladwell stepped out of my fantasies into the flesh and said, hey! let’s take our laptops to the coffee shop and hang out. In New York. And kiss.) Jenny’s leaning to the artist/millionaire compromise.

I would be happy to be a hundredaire. I mean, do you see any forms of converting readers to buyers on this blog? (Other than the PORN shirt which was totally imaginary until lots of you wanted to buy it?) Internet mogul I am not. Yet.

The PORN T-Shirt. It Is Urgent. We Need You. What’s In It For You.

So please support my art (the writing) and my very achievable goal of being a hundredaire and buy yourself a super sexy PORN t-shirt. We’re only selling it for a week. That’s our business model. A new t-shirt each week. So the PORN t-shirt is only for sale for another five days. Tick tick tick. Please buy it.

(In internet marketing language, that’s called creating a sense of urgency. Aren’t we crafty? Also, on the store we have, we can only have one item at a time. So we’ll change the item weekly so you won’t get bored.)

The shirt will make you look hot, I promise. I mean, how can you not? The t-shirt says PORN and the logo is so awesome.

I didn’t design it, of course. My friend Heather’s husband Tyler did but he doesn’t want me to link to his graphic design site or anything because that’s just how selfless and altruistic he is.

If you want to vote with your voice for what should be on our next shirt, check out Jenny’s gallery of imaginary t-shirt sayings and tell us by comment or email (kelly at kellydiels dot com).

Or, volunteer a saying. We reward the chosen with a free shirt. We also reward graphic designers who make the words look pretty with a free t-shirt.

The Call To Action. Please Buy the PORN T-Shirt.

So far we have given away more t-shirts than we have sold. Internet moguldom may seriously elude me. So please go buy a shirt. (In copywriting language, that’s a CALL TO ACTION. This post is absolutely littered with them.)

And please talk to us! Tell me in the comments what you want to see on next week’s shirt or email me at kelly at kellydiels dot com.

And thanks for laughing with us, not at us.
