Ask not what Obama can do for you, ask what can Obama do for your blog?
Love him or hate him, think he can do our US economy any good or not, there is one thing for sure, people and companies are cashing in on Obamanomics in a big way.
MSN Money Blog contributor Todd Harrison’s post(written by Minyanville Contributor Tal Pinchevsky) Obama swag stimulates economy shows a few examples of companies making it big and riding the “Obama is good for our bottom line” wave. Companies such as The New York Times, Pepsi, Coca Cola, Banana Republic and the list goes on.
With sold out copies of news papers, logo changes and even font following these are just a few examples. Last I looked Twitter listed him as having by far the largest following (though that is not an actual monetizer just yet but it is capital in tweetland)
Get yourself to start thinking out of the Oval and think about how you too can monetize your blog because of this history making president. I am sure he would be the first to say thank you for doing your part to stimulate our economy.
Ask yourself in what way can I tie into this trend with my blog and make it pay?
If nothing else he may add a few new readers to your blog just because you wrote a halfway decent post and used his name and maybe his picture…with a US flag
So put a pic of the prez in front of you and ask him to pony up for you and your blog.
