This is a great chance to get your brand out there and also support a GREAT CAUSE!
All of the winning bidders money will go to the Affiliate Marketers Give Back.
The short version is this:
There is an auction on here for me to wear your company logo during Affiliate Summit.
The winner will send me 3 shirts to wear at Affiliate Summit West. I will wear no other shirt than your shirt during the conference and parties.
You will receive a TON of exposure. And A LOT MORE than just a handsome model wearing your logo!
Video Exposure:
- At Affiliate Summit this year we have gone through all the background checks, union agreements, and other hoops to be one of very few people allowed to take video inside of Affiliate Summit West. I already have about 15 companies booked to interview them about their services and also will be doing some general video.
- I also am asked about 10-20 times to be video interviewed (nobody is supposed to shoot video without authorization people will do it outside of conference areas) and your shirt will be shown.
- I have over 10,000 YouTube subscribers and am by far the most subscribed to person in this niche. All of the subscribers get alerted each time I upload a video. Each of my videos also has a chance of being syndicated by techcrunch/mashable or another large HUGE website and giving your company more exposure.
- I will also put the video on our CDN which will be ShoeMoney branded and get more exposure on the blog here.
Photo Exposure:
My photo gallery is the most visited section of ShoeMoney.com other than the root domain. Check these stats out from the last year:
(Click to enlarge)
You are not reading that wrong… over 2 million pageviews and almost 1.7 MILLION UNIQUE pageviews. That’s quite an amazing reach!
But besides the TONS of photos I will have in my own gallery, there will be loads of them on flickr and Facebook that people will tag and they’ll be seen by many.
So put your logo in front of TONS of people NOW!












Wow again, that is amazing that you can get people to bid on someone to wear a shirt that is crazy. Too bad I’m only a small business, for now, and would have to take a loan out to get the winning bid. Maybe that will be an goal for myself to become even more successful and generate a larger net profit.
Thanks

I think this is a fantastic idea, great that the money goes to charity, and that people are giving so generously. I reckon this will go to $5k easily, and I really hope so because the cause is worth it, more so considering the publicity the winner will get!
Hey Shoe,
Next time you run something like this ping me. We might have been willing to sponsor this if you used GetItNext as the search engine instead of eBay. Let me know in the future if you’re planning on doing anything similar.

this is a great idea. Very cool and very smart. We will be bidding!
now whats the best “how to win on Ebay” program/book to win! LOL
Great idea and for a great cause!
Yeah the kid playing on mommys account winner syndrome sucks … I’ve had a few payments later refunded because of this excuse .. which was a lame excuse … how many kids sneek on their parents ebay accounts .. search out and bid on SEO services or products .. discuss the details after they win .. drag it out for a couple weeks and then suddenly get caught … they’re too busy looking at porn. Bad thing about it now is ebay and paypal are too interconnected and tend to take the side of the buyer. Especially with digital products services … Once I auctioned a service and a month later paypal had taken $90 from me saying that the buyer claimed I had never shipped the item … it was a service that could not be tracked by Fedex so I got ripped before I could notify paypal of the scam … did they say whoops we goofed and replace my money? Of course not …. Somebody step up and build a replacement to ebay … and paypal.
Good luck. Hope you make lots of bank on this idea. I was going to bid, but it is well over $2k right now. Too rich for my blood now, but by next year, I’m hoping it won’t be!
Did not know the system will read to understand better.
I liked watching your Analytics Stats that’s awesome..
That is nice of you to give money to charity. I hope you raise a lot of money.
Thanks for adding your auction to my website! I’ve done some additional promoting of your listing. If I could spare the bucks I would indeed have you wearing “PowerSellingMom.com” on your shirt! Well, I could have you wear: PowerSellingDad.com because it all leads back to MOM ((smiles)) Wishing you tons of success with this listing! Blessings, Danna
thats a great contest/auction. we try to do things in our local area for charities also. Its always a good feeling
As we all know, the eBay auction action happens in the last minutes. This will be an exciting one to watch.
Totally!! If its at 2 grand right now, just imagine!!!
There’s probably someone out there with a sniper in place…
This is a good advertisement for smart people. It’s a good idea
This is a good advertisement for smart people. It’s a good idea.
Jeremy, you need to put some fine print in there that you can’t be held responsible for the shirt and how it is captured on film .. I mean what if they offer a free monster BBQ buffet and the shirt gets wasted .. ok so that probably wont happen .. I’m just thinking about wanting BBQ.
Maybe you should throw in some models wearing the logoed shirts as well. You know, just in case.
Wow 2 mil page views is ridiculous! Ive never seen that documented before. Very nice
Very cool, just put my bid in.. I’m sure some network will come along and demolish it… top bidder for now though
Also, nice to see we will be on the same panel again!
Good idea, good cause and good luck to everyone bidding
Yes Good Luck From My Side Too.
Great idea.
Out of the other shirts presented I really liked this one especially the red color and the “Rock Star” very neat.
Red attracts attention well.
Only 5 hours into at 10 day auction and it is up to $1000 … nice job (secretly grinding teeth in pure raw jealousy) LOL
$1,000! How high do you guys think this will go?
You never know with ebay .. sometimes I have an auction end and
I think OMG somebody actually paid me that much for that LOL.
This Tshirt idea could blow over in a few hours and not go up much more or it could keep going .. people get determined to win and
the next thing you know Mr Shoe is walking around in a $20K tshirt.
I hope he gets a buttload of cash for it.
That would be absolutely INSANE
I would really wonder how the return on THAT kind of investment would be – hell even a single GR is a lot! (for most)
I just hope whoever wins actually pays up, not like the other 98% of major auctions on ebay that are won by a 9-year-old with his mother’s credit card.
Oh this is a really good chance but I doubt I will ever pay enough to win this bid? Way too cool to get your brand out there.
Great initiative Shoe,
You are Awesome!

ok, my original comment was moderated so I’ll keep this one serious: what content restrictions are there? Knowing there’s a good cause behind it and that everything needs to be kept tasteful, would you wear a shirt for a payday or a dating site?
I know Im checking the photo section often. Some great pics there for sure.
Hi Jeremy.. Your photo gallery is the most visited section of ShoeMoney.com other than the root domain. I think you should try to be a photo model..
Wow, what a great opportunity. Especially for a company launching/growing an affiliate program. Can we put more on the shirt besides a company logo? For example, something like “Looking for great affiliates, 25% payouts and higher”. Nothing obnoxious or overly spammy but some sort of message to help attract more leads.
Thanks.
no tshirt spam. Just the name and never forget the URL
It can be done in a way that is not spammy. Just a logo/emblem makes it less valuable. Even something less spammy than what I posted before would be helpful, like “Join our affiliate program”. Something to allow the reader of the t-shirt to connect the company logo to an action or purpose.
This is good enough..Especially on Shoe’s chest!
I don’t see why not.
It’s been done with “I’m blogging this”, hasn’t it?
Cool shirt, I like the color.
I really liked the blue shirt three weeks ago. This shirt also looks quite stylish.
Love the idea! Nice to send some $$ to charity. Someone is going to get some serious PR from you, the walking billboard.
wooho, great oppurtunity..
if I had $$$, i would have definitely grabbed the deal
let the bidding begin! great idea.
damn that is alot of reach , and seems like a great marketing strategy
It certainly is!! That’s why I’m disappointed I can’t even take advantage of this – my site’s logo would fit perfectly with the colour theme with the red shirt even lol
and what is better? its so cheap..
Starting to get not as cheap lol – 550 already with a whopping 9 days 21 hours left – I can see this being bid up to a fairly hefty price
Nope, the price tag is becoming more and more expensive!
what about the real estate on your forehead?
Thats definitely pretty serious!! if you have something similar in the new year I will definitely participate, as I am launching a new site in January
this event is in January…
HMMMM thats a tough call, as any delays would be less than idea for me as I would hate to promote a site that isn’t quite up yet hehehe
Either way, I will definitely need some serious promotion for atleast the first month, as is forsee the sight spreading like wildfire already, as the concept hasnt yet been executed.
I will be in touch with you after it launches – hopefully you will have another form of advertising I’ll be able to take advantage of, as I’m sure you will bring our site great startup traffic!!
I’m about a month too late with starting up the concept lol – great idea though to auction off ad space like this!
now is the time, now is the time….bid right now is 495.00
wow the bid is at $1000 now =) but pretty great way to promote I have to say
$2,525,50 at present! It is Monday here is South Africa, and expect this taotal to climb as the US starts waking up…..
Man, I need to get some t-shirts printed up.
ya, that makes a lot of sense. try girl with your tshirt too. $75 sounds cool
Make sure you have your name or URL printed real big..
Jeremy,
No budget for T-shirts or logos. Spending it on gas for car and meals, to drive to #ASW09 from SF Bay area. I have a Platinum Pass, (thanks Shawn Collins!) and will not be videotaping this one, just absorbing and offering assistance as appropriate.
Looking forward to meeting you again, you are one of the few genuine
givers amongst all of the takers out in Web 3.0 land.
Respectfully,

Very true – it’s part of what makes Jeremy such a popular internet marketer!!
Web 3.0?
Oops, did I sleep through another web age again?
I love that auction will go to charity. Always leading by example, way to go dude!
Plus, this also solved your dilemma of what do I want to wear today
Lol whoever pays more money will get his name on Shoe’s chest. How about a tattoo next time?
Do you remember that dude that got a Shoemoney tattoo? Crazy y people…
http://www.shoemoney.com/2007/08/17/free-tatoo-friday-sundaybrew/
That guy was a scammer on digitalpoint as well
A tattoo on Shoemoney’s head would be crazy!
I can’t thank you enough for doing this to support the National Breast Cancer Foundations — Affiliate Summit 2009 West’s charity of choice.
As someone who is an active fundraiser for breast cancer research and treatment, I can’t tell you how much this makes me happy.
Bid ‘em up high folks! It’s for a great cause!
WOW, this is going to get mighty crazy as the money pours in.
Howd my post get bumped down so far lol!? I was the 2nd person to respond in the thread!!!
posts get caught in moderation.
Damn – thanks for the heads up Jeremy!!! The more you know!!
That’s awesome Jeremy, your support of various philanthropies is one of the reasons why I subscribe. Do good and good will be done to you.
Yep this is great that people give back, we need more of this especially for causes such as cancer as I think all of us have been affected by it directly or indirectly
