Tim Ferriss and PR Bandwagons

Wednesday, March 25th, 2009 | Uncategorized | No Comments

I’ve been a long subscriber to Tim Ferriss’s blog, and I actually own a copy of his book -

I often pick it up and read it then get inspired and do something totally off-the-wall. Last time I picked it up, I ended up dressing up as a Stormtrooper for children’s charities. And we all know how that ended!

Now, he’s trying to raise a wad of cash for charities by means of a Twitter experiment. He wants everybody to start following him on Twitter, and to do so he’s going to bribe every single follower. But here’s the “Change the World” catch - he’s going to donate US$3 to each users chosen charity.

1) For every new Twitter follower in the next two weeks, I will donate $1 to DonorsChoose.org, and an anonymous supporter will match $2, for a total of $3 to U.S. public school classrooms per follower.

IF you’re a twitterer, then sign up - follow Tim’s experiment at his twitter thing. I’m all for some blatant blog bribery, especially when the money goes to charity.

Tonight is the MS Moonwalk, around the sights of Brisbane City.

I’m going to be wandering along with the team from the Brisbane Redbacks, so keep your eyes peeled for characters from Star Wars…

(PS: there’s a bounty on Wookies… )

What would YOU do?

So, what would you do for charity? What would you do to help kids in need? In fact, what lengths would you go to in order to put a smile on a sick childs face?

Would you dress up like a Stormtrooper (ala Starwars)?

I think I would.
