Reputable Influencer

[4_eyez]

A little over a year ago, my buddy Rob Walker wrote an article about word-of-mouth or "buzz" marketing, in which people recommend commercial products to people - for free. In other words, they act as shills to their friends and loved ones just to feel "part" of something. Unfathomable

Reputable Influence T-Shirts!!!!

The future demands it!!!!

Thamesrhodes prank of the day:

Browse the web for interesting folks, Bush Zelots, Religious Right-Wingers, Tree Hugging Hippies, whomever captures your fancy.

Contact them and say "I read your blog, blah blah blah, and I think you would be a perfect candidate to promote SATAN!"

Lay your pitch on them with a straight face.

"Clearly you would be the Ideal person to promote the exploitation of the environment"

Etc.

Let the people decide!

don't hoard your influence? Let the people decide! Share info about the zombie flick!

doesn't he know he could post a comment to your blog and pimp the film by himself? Or would you delete it (earning your RIA stripes?)
