Today, wherever you go and whatever you do, you see one thing. No it isn’t homeless people begging for cash or illegal immigrants, no, I am speaking of adverts. Advertising is become a global dominator, companies are willing to pay big sums of cash to get their logo or name somewhere where everyone will see it. Coca Cola advertise in football stadiums in hope that the fans will see the sign and go and buy a can of coke.
But the world isn’t big enough for advert upon advert. As you well know, the internet is clogged with them. Almost any website you click on will provoke a pop-up or a banner advert which glares out at you like a sore thumb.
Adverts truly are all over, the internet, radio, television, in magazines you read, newspapers and even in the streets. There is no escaping their wrath. But slowly, the advertising industry will overload, they will run out of places to promote their product, there will be no building without a corporate logo, no magazine without those stupid “scratch to win – just call our hotline at £5 a min” leaflets falling out.
You may be asking yourself, “What’s next?” Well, the way things are going, I assume advertising space will soon be precious. But wait, before you rush away and sign up for a free website, hear me out. I have figured out some methods of generating a little extra income just by advertising.
Technique 1. Head Space
Basically you need to shave off all of your hair until you are bald as the day you were born, and then contact two people. A big corporation and a tattoo parlour. You can sell the advertising space across the back of your head, and hey while you’re there why not have one on your forehead too! The money the company pays you will surely fund the laser tattoo removal, and you’re clean as a whistle, to advertise again!
Technique 2. Rooftop
Ok, for this technique you either need to own your own house or live on the top floor of a block on flats. Contact a company and tell them you have a rooftop free for advertising, and within the hour the painters will be round, grafting the logo onto your rooftop so any passing planes might just catch a glimmer of it. Whatever money you get for this isn’t a waste because you will never see the logo on your roof anyway and it doesn’t hurt at all. Unless the fumes from the cheap toxic paints they use slowly diffuse through your roof tiles, which they almost certainly will. Ah well.
Technique 3. Rent-a-tagline
Yes, you have a tagline, don’t you! Well those oh-so precious 20 characters could earn you a nice little salary. Especially if you are up there with the likes of Meka Dragon or pb, the ‘famous’ ones. Most company names are less that 20 letters so, why not endorse multiple adverts! “Sony Pepsi Nintendo” is just 19 characters, and triple the income for you!
So, if the world does become overrun by advertisement maniacs, remember who suggested the “Rent-a-Tagline” scheme.
