I have a The Gap sweatshirt that I have been wearing a lot this summer as it is super lightweight (not too warm) and is just perfect for evenings and air-conditioned buildings that are overdoing it. And I have been on Facebook a lot this summer for various reasons (theater promotions, band gigs, family get togethers). Lots of Facebook pictures on lots of Facebook pages (none of them my doing), and in lots of them, I am wearing my The Gap sweatshirt.
Well, a couple weeks ago, I got a call from some guy representing The Gap. After some hemming and hawing, he got to the point, The Gap was willing to give me a hundred bucks if I would agree not wear their clothing on Facebook or any other social media site. I grabbed the deal.
A little later, an idea occurred to me. I had a Banana Republic hat. And an Old Navy t-shirt. I took a few selfies and posted them all over Facebook and asked a few friends to post them on theirs. That guy called back the next day. “We had a deal!” he whined.
“I agreed not to wear my The Gap sweatshirt or anything else that had The Gap written on it. There was nothing said about the Banana Republic, Old Navy, or Athleta”. (I had done my research)
“What do you want?” he sighed.
I got a package deal. $500. And my new gig as a Social Un-influencer was off and running. I am currently in negotiations with Nike and Slim Fast.
Anyway, I told you guys about a way to make easy money, this is it. Social Un-influencers. And as a group, I think we are uniquely suited for it. Picture Bill and Victoria’s Secret. Ok, don’t. But imagine the bucks he could pull in. And Todd? A goldmine.
