Free Shirt Friday Phenomenom
By Jeremy Schoemaker
96 comments 
Not to long again I started this thing called Free Shirt Friday. Maybe you have heard of it. Basically sites and companies send me shirts… I write about them and post a picture of me in a shirt. The idea came about easy enough…. companies/sites want exposure and I love t-shirts. Especially the shirt kind. Well earlier this week I took this picture and thought I would share. Its basically the 48 t-shirts that I have in a box in que for Free shirt friday.

I’m trying to come up with a clever design to send one to you, Jeremy!
[Reply]
Wow. A lot of t-shirts. I’ll be sending you one soon enough!
[Reply]
That’s a lot of shirts. What do you do with them all (besides wear them)? lol
[Reply]
Are you giving them out???
[Reply]
You know what this means, folks. If you send the Shoe a shirt, your post won’t show up for another YEAR. By that time, some of these sites and services that people are trying to promote may not even exist .
[Reply]
Hahahaha well at least they’re ordered in a systematic and orderly fashion!
I mean, we wouldn’t want wrinkles or anything 
Hehehe… J/k - That’s a lot of tshits
[Reply]
Ok man… so who does your laundry? That’s just not right. Wear the shirt… stick it in a box? lol Something tells me I see an eBay auction or a garage sale in the near future.
[Reply]
I need to create something that Jeremy will wear out so people will talk about it! Now, to the drawing board to come up with something clever… ^_^

[Reply]
lol… You look a little pissed off there.
[Reply]
So if we send in a shirt now, it might get posted in September 2008. That’s a big queue.
[Reply]
Meaning: stop sending shirts you dumbshits!
[Reply]
Exactly. Unless he starts doing free shirt weekends with 5 shirts a day I don’t see how he can catch up.
[Reply]
Who wouldn’t ? That’s T-shirt SP@M
[Reply]
Diggin the idea. Maybe I’ll give it a shot. Can’t complain about some free shirts!
[Reply]
Hmm.. you should try sending him a “green laser”
[Reply]
yeah, but is he givin’ them out?
[Reply]
So basically you will never have to buy a shirt ever again.
[Reply]
Haha, thats a year long waiting list
[Reply]
yes, send a “green laser”, it’s really fun…
[Reply]
Wait, so is he giving them OUT or no?
[Reply]
May be he re-sell them on ebay? :p Just kidding… But is a good idea no?
[Reply]
yeah, me neither! :p
[Reply]
What are you gonna do with the box? My kids love a big empty cardboard box!
[Reply]
my shirt is somewhere in there
what a craze u have started… but for the people that send them a tshirt is cheap advertising compared to the exposure.
[Reply]
That’s pretty clever.
[Reply]
Oh, I think I see my shirt. LoL
Lots of shirts man, how will you ever get through them? You’re going to have to do Free T-Shirt Friday but do 3 at a time.
[Reply]
You should start a different piece of clothing for each day, then you wouldn’t need to purchase clothes again.
[Reply]
That is a LOT of shirts… send some to the donation center after you’re done.
[Reply]
hahahha t-shirt spam… nice
[Reply]
free T-shirt weekend.
[Reply]
Why don’t you send the shirts to other smaller bloggers, we can take pictures of us wearing them and you can post the picture of us in that shirt along with a link to our site for Free Shirt Friday?
[Reply]
Oh my… I had no idea the queue is so long
And my shirts are still in the printer’s press, does it still make sense to send you fresh shirts?
[Reply]
a translucent shirt with the sm-logo that glows in the dark?
[Reply]
That is a lot of tshirts shoe. So, if I sent you one, would it take a whole year for you to wear it? Or do you pick your favourite ones first?
[Reply]
You don’t look too happy considering you have a BOX of free t shirts !
[Reply]
I love free t-shirts. If I don’t get one when I got to conferences or seminars I’m pissed.
[Reply]
wow… other 4 shirts and there will be a year waiting time before you will feature it!
i know i had to sent you a t-shirt after i saw you featuring a tee for the first time…
[Reply]
I’ll have one coming your way after I relaunch my other site.
[Reply]
I keep some and each week I send Susan down to good will for the ones I would never wear ;).
[Reply]
ya some get priority… guess how
[Reply]
that was the hidden agenda here
[Reply]
Thats actually a good idea… I might start doing one friday, saturday, sunday mornings or so until we get caught up
[Reply]
I was thinking the same thing.
Thought Bubble : “Why in hell did I ever start this T-Shirt thing?”
[Reply]
So do they make the site roughly in the order received or does shirt design count for anything? I would think you’d want to go for the coolest shirts or the best companies, instead of just basing it on time in queue.
[Reply]
Sup guys…. nice shirt box Shoe!
[Reply]
that’s a lot of shirts, hey Jeremy you ever think about having a contest to give away some of the shirts you get?
[Reply]
Maybe you need a few Free Shirt Weekends to eat into that stockpile a little.
[Reply]
SO what are you going to do?
[Reply]
No he reviews them on the site.
[Reply]
Nice facial expression
[Reply]
You should sell them at Ebay
[Reply]
Nice collection. We should compare some time.
Plus, I’ll be sending you one soon too!
[Reply]
48 of them you can ave almost 1 for a week wearing and you dont have to use washing machine
[Reply]
If you don’t want to break up the acronym you could do Free Shirt February.
[Reply]
Holy CoW!
I need to start a free shirt friday
I would never have to buy clothes again!
[Reply]
Getting the mail every day is like Christmas thanks to T-Shirt Friday. The response from all of you has been awesome and we have loved the t-shirts, the fleeces, the drinking glasses and today we got the “pimp cup”. Your response and interest in the blog is really appreciated. The biz manager.
[Reply]
I’ve got it, Shoe! You line up a few of the Shoefolks in a row each Friday for the pic so you can knock out more shirts…say you, Dillsmack, Neil, etc…hehe OK just a thought..;)
[Reply]
THAT IS AWESOME! One of my dreams was to make a homeless foundation in San Francisco but I applaud you for doing such thang. I will stop asking for free shirts. I have too many so I usually send my old shirts to good will anyways.
[Reply]
I don’t know if T-shirts are considered SPAM though. What is the definition of SPAM? It seems like the label is used for aggressive marketing too…which is bad for SEO guys…
[Reply]
Maybe you could ship a few my way. I could start a “Justin Cook” FSF, that of course no one would even bother reading…
[Reply]
haha was thinking about sending you a shirt to put up I didnt know so many people sent shirts weekly.
[Reply]
hey if you need some help, i’ll wear some.
[Reply]
LOL I think he needs a tshirt spam filter!
Good one.
[Reply]
I was thinking the same thing. Isn’t there some village in Bangladesh that could use all those shirts?
[Reply]
How about one day where we all where your shirts, pick a day and we will send you photos wearing your shirt.
[Reply]
Or you could expand the album in your gallery with loyal readers showing off their Shoemoney shirt.
[Reply]
Hahahaha, shoefolk, that is a really good one. I almost went to ShoeMonet today, typing too fast.
[Reply]
Got it, just do a slideshow where you wear each shirt with a link back or a shout out to whoever the person/company is on it, that way you can get them all banged out at once.
[Reply]
you look sad to have those t-shirt
[Reply]
oh no i was looking to send you our tshirt but looks i have to wait for 48 weeks.
[Reply]
he like t-shirts but not sure can he manage 48
[Reply]
spamming own site is not spam actually
[Reply]
If there’s another dotcom bust - perhaps we’ll see you all shuffling around in shoemoney T-shirts!
[Reply]
Jeremy, as someone who appreciates the value of reciprocal links, do you allow those whose shirts you model on your site to post the photo on the shirt ‘donor’s’ site with a link back to Shoemoney?
[Reply]
You almost need to do free shirt friday every day to catch up.
Maybe do 2-3 shirts on fridays til you catch up
[Reply]
With lots of t-shirts comes great responsibility. Show has to start reviewing
[Reply]
Or may be more because till the time your shirt reaches shoe he will have another 50 added up in the queue
[Reply]
So how to get this shirts..??
[Reply]
You could always send them to me, not that I’ll post about them it’s just that I’m poor!
[Reply]
I’ve sent in 4 tshirts - one of these Fridays…
[Reply]
Except spam is unwanted - who wouldn’t want free t-shirts? He should worry if he starts getting other articles of clothing unsolicited. That would be spam… like Thong Thursdays or something nasty like that. Filter out all free thongs, but keep all free t-shirts.
[Reply]
I guess if I send a shirt I’ll be waiting for a while..
[Reply]
My thought exactly!
[Reply]
I was thinking the same thing
[Reply]
Wow…that’s quite a queue!!!
[Reply]
Yeah you are going to have to wait for a while……
[Reply]
Now I know what happened to the ones I sent… LOL.
Seriously, it seemed like it had died off until I sent one to you. Was that the case?
[Reply]
Scary… Jeremy in a translucent shirt. Not that I’d be any better, but still scary.
[Reply]
SPAM = Sites Positioned Above Mine, or Shirts Placed Above Mine in this case. All those spammers aren’t giving anyone new a chance.
[Reply]
I’d guess clever shirts or by actually knowing you, or by having a good site that you want to mention. I could be wrong, though.
[Reply]
Gotta be a way to get caught up - come on shoe!
[Reply]
I’m excited to get a shirt done!
[Reply]
