Would $6 change your life?

A man named Alec Brownstein has managed to change his life with $6. As a man on the job hunt, Alec chose a very creative way to market himself to creative directors over the Internet. An admitted self googler, Mr. Brownstein bought the rights to some of his favorite directors and paid $.15 a click to add a link when their names were googled. He chose "Hey, (creative directors name) googling yourself is a lot of fun. Hiring me is fun, too." And then he posted a link to his web site alecbrownstein.com
He was contacted by all but one of the directors he did this to and was eventually hired by two of them.

Pretty amazing if you ask me! I am definitely impressed that he would think of something so cool. It also seems as though it paid off for him and gave him 15 minutes of fame at the same time.

I am not as creative as this gentleman, in fact I can't really think of anyone I know who is this creative! I say he deserves all the notoriety he can get and if those companies who hired him don't treat him well, there will be another in line to hire him from now on. Imagine what he could do for your business is he was in charge of marketing??

  1. What a creative young man! This was like marketing magic. But I can say that there have been times when just a few bucks has been a fortune for me and my family. Thank God those days are gone. (As far as I know!)
