You just never know when these WhackedOut Marketing ideas are going to appear.  Oddly enough most of my ideas come while I’m in the shower and I often find myself in some interesting situations.  (Remind me to share one of the stories with you sometime…)

Even while I wrote the above, an idea for a waterproof notebook that you could hang in the shower appeared to me.  Think about it… Just imagine being able to capture all of your ideas that come to you while in the shower!  I may be onto something here…

I quickly did a search online to see if any such thing exists.  Darn… thought I had some new WhackedOut idea here. They already make waterproof notebooks.  See here and here.  I may have to get a few of these…

Anyway, I had another WhackedOut Marketing idea come to me and I thought I’d share it with you.  Normally all sorts of wild and WhackedOut ideas pop into Continue Reading »

UPDATE: Want to know how I’ve made seven-figures marketing online in a unique way and why I’ve decided to pack up and leave the ‘traditional’ internet marketing business?  Go to: http://www.robert-hawthorne.com Note… yes, that is ME… the guy behind WhackedOut Marketing.

Before I dive into everything you need to know when it comes to learning how to change your Twitter background, here’s the inside scoop as to how this Twitter backgrounds post came to be…

The past few days have been an all-out WhackedOut work-a-thon.  In other words, I’ve been crazy busy.  However, yesterday I did take a few mental breaks and decided to see how difficult it was to change my Twitter background.

First and foremost, I must confess that I know Continue Reading »

Edit: I just finished writing the post below.  This very well could be the most WhackedOut blog post I’ve made yet - and could very well change a family’s life during the Holidays.  That is of course if someone is willing to get out of their comfort zone and take action!

I accidently glanced at some headlines this morning and saw some crazy numbers as far as retail sales numbers, November jobless stats, etc.

Now I’m not here to talk about the economy and doom and gloom all over you.  The media does enough of that to you.

What I do want to do is wake you up a little.

Here, step into my lab and take a seat.  

Now r..e…l….a…x….. deep breath.  Again.  Relax.

There, nice and relaxed.  All the worries and stress melting away.  Are you feeling relaxed and comfortable?  Well, if you are then…

Wake The &#!* Up!

You want to make it out there?  You got to get up and start hustling.  If you want to thrive Continue Reading »

If you found another blog or website that stole an image (or several of them) from you and they’re using the images (which are being hosted on YOUR server) on their blog or site right now, here’s how to perform a Digital Whack Job on them.

First, a little background… This idea was inspired by a recent post I wrote called, “Attention Fellow Bloggers: People May Be Stealing From You!“, and the comment posted by Erum.  Basically, someone just copied an image from my site and posted it on their blog.  The image is still linked to my site, so I’m basically hosting the image for them and it’s eating some of my bandwidth.

Yesterday Erum made a comment on the above post and said:

“Pssst don’t just change the image name. Replace it with one that says ‘This image is stolen’.”

What a great idea Erum!  I jumped on it this morning.  Below are the images that I created, Continue Reading »

Recently buy the new 3G iPhone?  Here’s a list of the top 10 things you can do with your old iPhone instead of it collecting dust in a drawer.

1. Use your old iPhone as a paperweight so all of your AT&T bills don’t blow away.

2. Make some minor modifications and install it near your front door connected to your doorbell.  If installed correctly, it’ll both ring your doorbell and call your new iPhone letting you know someone is at your door.  And if they’re in your address book, you’ll instantly know who it is.

3. Put it under a tire when parking your car on a hill to ensure your car doesn’t roll backwards.

4. Get together with other new iPhone owners and have a contest to see who can throw their old iPhone the furthest.

5. Play “spin the iPhone” to potentially hook up with other cool 3G iPhone users at a party.

6. Tape some string on the back of it and use it for a what will be known in your family as the most expensive Christmas tree decoration.

7. Walk into a gas station and offer your old iPhone to the attendant in exchange for a full talk of gas in your SUV.

8. Get your 3G iPhone box, put your old iPhone in it, and give it to one of those “tough to buy for people” for their birthday present.

9. Assign a new phone number to your old iPhone and program your name and number in every slot in your address book.  The next time you’re at a bar and see a guy or girl you’d really like to get to know, give them your old iPhone and say, “Let’s do dinner this weekend.  Give me a call.”  If after two days he/she doesn’t call, call them and ask to meet so you can get your iPhone back.

10. Modify the back of your old iPhone by using some duct tape, glue, and a wristband from a watch.  If properly put together, you’ll have one of the smartest watches in the world that everyone will be talking about.
