Most Creative Viral Marketing

By Kirtok in Featured, Small Business General | 4 comments


I have recently written about creative link baiting. Being creative is great, but do you think there are limits?

I remember the day, when a hot blond girl auctioned advertising rights on her boobs on ebay. It was creative, close to the limit. But a guy named Joe is pushing the limits in creativity.

geekWhen I checked Shoemoney to see the free friday t-shirt day, instead of a t-shirt, I’ve seen a guy with Shoemoney, Digitalpoint, and Grownupgeek websites’ names and logos tattooed on his arm.

Watch his video while getting tattooed:



First reaction; I thought it was a joke. I still hope it’s a joke.

It’s been less than 2 hours since the post was made at ShoeMoney Blog, and it has over 25 diggs, and it will definitely bring some viral marketing.

But unfortunately this poor guy Joe’s site really needs content more than viral marketing. Nobody will be staying at his site more than a few minutes.

When I was checking Grownupgeek.com’s post about this, I was shocked to see a comment with a video of Joe at Conan O’Brien Show.

He’s showing his “Save Martha” tattoo this time.


Wow, one more time I’m amazed with what people can do to get some attention.

    He’s pretty famous now :)

    Now, he’s selling more ad space on his body.
