Cheap Fun Whatever

Just a sample (in no particular order) of the MANY Products of "The Whatever Network" - all are "Pitching for Partners" via part-time ReThinkingWhatever.com programs!

ReThinking PRODUCTS as CONTENT as SOCIAL MARKETING as... 




AudioWhatever.com Examples

Created back in the early 2000's, THE REJECTION HOTLINE® was a funny fake phone number ("Hello, this is not the person you were trying to reach...") and it was the start of a million-dollar viral content company with 300+ "HUMOR HOTLINES" that collectively received 475 MILLION phone calls and earned us a loyal fanbase of1.8 Million opted-in subscribers (emails and sms)... Sadly, we were forced to sell off the 2500+ phone numbers and shut down the company in 2014 :(
BUT...  a comeback of sorts is now underway as part of AudioWhatever.com & The WHATEVER Network!
 
 



PART-Time Partners needed to test / re-launch / manage / market (one, some, or all of) the following:

www.AUDIOwhatever.com / www.PHONEwhatever.com / www.TEXTwhatever.com

Products/Content: 300+ individual audio tracks (MP3s and/or Humor Hotlines) - Most audio can temporarily be found here: www.SoundCloud.com/AudioWhatever

Potential Models to Discuss & Test 

  • FREE MP3 downloads?  (Products as Content as Marketing?)
  • PAID/PREMIUM MP3 downloads? 
  • FREE HUMOR HOTLINE NUMBERS (audio/calls only?) 
  • PAID/PREMIUM (2.0) HOTLINE Numbers (calls and/or text-backs). 
  • $0.99? (number only guaranteed for 30 days?)
    $1.99? (number guaranteed for a year and/or receive an email with the new number any time we swap it out?)
    Packages and/or Subscriptions? New numbers monthly
  • CUSTOM and/or PERSONALIZED Numbers??

    TshirtWhatever.com Examples:

    NO, we do NOT think t-shirts are a good business idea (overly-crowded space, no barriers to entry, etc.). HOWEVER… 
    A) our “Products as Content as Marketing” philosophy creates value beyond sales, 
    B) Tshirts are an easy, no-risk way to test MANY ReThinkingStartups.com strategies & marketing initiatives —
    C) plus we do have a few new outside-the-bulb “ReThinking Tshirts” concepts we’ve been sitting on for a while!

    Products as Content as Marketing as...

    A cross-promotional network (of 50+ online Tshirt businesses?!)... Managed COLLECTIVELYMarketed INDIVIDUALLY (by ReThinkingStartups.com program participants / entrepreneurs, marketers, influencers, etc.), all benefiting from shared resources, pooled knowledge, #CollaborativeCompetitions, and...
    Note: This page would be 3 times as long as it already is if I explained every rationale, viral premise, cross-promotional tie-in, etc. for each concept below. Just trust me when I say that NONE are just a random thought of "hey, let's put XYZ on a tshirt"
    Please ASK US about any that you are intrigued by (or confused by)... 

    In no particular order:
    • www.ColorWhatever.com


    Note: It's not about these particular designs - it's about the drawing/coloring on shirts concept, the coloring book drawings on shirts, the Crayola potential, etc.

      ***But, remember, we're constantly A-B Testing EVERYTHING, so... 
      Why not share resources, duplicate everything, and also test...


      #MultipleEggs #MultipleBaskets #SharedResources #EconomiesOfScale #CompetingWhileCollaborating

      P.S. And if we're already doing WingDings... and Binary... is it really THAT much extra time/effort to also do Morse Code? or Braille? or Chinese? or Russian? or...?

      P.P.S. And if we're already creating/marketing ConfusingShirts.com, why not also use it as an umbrella to test 5, 10, or 20 other stand-alone concepts that could also make sense under that same theme of "Confusing"... 


      P.P.P.S. Be sure to ask us about how "The Whatever Network" would not only cross-promote the MANY other TshirtWhatever.com brands/shops, but also tying together multiple product/content/whatever "verticals" - for example ConfusingShirts.com & ConfusingCards.com & ConfusingStuff.com under yet another layer of resource-sharing via ConfusingWHATEVER.com!

      P.S. 

      Sorry, I got a little distracted...
      So, where was I?
      Oh, right, T-Shirts!


      CardWhatever.com Examples

      CardWhatever.com
      Re-Thinking: Business Cards and/or Postcards 
      - as a smaller/cheaper alternative to traditional greeting cards?
      - as a new (cheaper!) Creative Content Canvas? 
      - as a mini Publishing Platform?!? 
      - as a physical representation, pass-around version, of internet memes?!

      A:  Re-Thinking traditional GREETING CARDS...


      NOTE: T-shirts are the most common canvas for commercialized creative expression... But, what if there was another canvas for creative commercial expression that was 1000x cheaper and easier to produce? 1000x lighter in weight for shipping? That fit easily in pockets, wallets, purses, and was easily distributed (as a hand-out, a leave-behind, slid under a door or into a locker, etc.)?   

      B, C, D, E, F... "Business Cards" as a new/cheap/mini content canvas:
      Humor, Art, Social Movements, FYI Messages, Political Statements, Random Nonsense, Inspiration/Motivation... anything you've seen on t-shirts (or online image memes?!), we're gonna put it on cards! Will they ALL catch on and/or go viral? Of course not! But we're pretty good at creating/understanding viral content - and we can distribute a THOUSAND cards, for the same cost as ONE Tshirt! And every card is simultaneously: the product, the content, AND the marketing - ALL IN ONE!

      NOTE: Most will not have a unique domain name, but here are some that might:

      MotivationWhatever.com

       A) Please ask us to explain what "Motivation Marks" are and the premises behind them.
      B) One of our ideas for a head-to-head competition between 2 teams is www.Motivacelets.com vs. www.Inspiracelets.com
      C) MANY Motivation Cards! (and subscription ideas - particularly for "Office Moms" or community leaders or you know the type, the overly peppy "Happy Monday!" people :)

      D. This seems as a good a place as any to mention that we have ~100 yet-to-be-released video teasers for many of the concepts on this page.

      F. Kinda the complete opposite of motivation, but one of our columns that I think is super-important to get people to understand is: 

      “NEVER QUIT!” is Great Motivational Advice - IN SPORTS. (Because "NEVER" = "MINUTES" for ATHLETES). But... Holy Shit! Please stop "encouraging" ENTREPRENEURS to "NEVER QUIT"... That is reckless / dangerous advice when “NEVER” is YEARS or… FOREVER!?! [Good motivational advice from sports is literally RUINING LIVES in Startups!] [Full column]

        ReThinkingWhatever.com Examples

         

        Below is JUST ONE example of our "Multiple Eggs / Multiple Baskets" approach (how we plan to re-use the same resources, processes, technology, whatever to launch/test MANY "Starter Startups!" - while simultaneously RE-THINKING traditional perspectives... on Startups? Side Hustles? Labels? Goals? Success Metrics? Status Quo Bias?)

        Would it be worth the time and effort to create any ONE of the concepts below, individually? Maybe. But Probably Not. HOWEVER, it's a totally different story - and a key part of our "Whatever Network" Master Plan - if you take all the costs FOR THE FIRST ONE (both dollars and, even more valuable, all the TIME - spent learning, building, testing, tweaking, optimizing, etc.) and divide all those dollars and hours by TEN (10 DIFFERENT MVP TESTS!)... Forget about just "A-B Testing" - this is more like A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I-J-TESTING!


        Try to experience each one individually and try to temporarily forget that you know about all the others. We will have different teams/people marketing each concept in different ways, to different audiences - so a first time visitor will not be distracted by "oh, this is just one of many"

        WishWhatever.com

        WishWhatever.com's "WISH MINUTES!" (11:11am or 11:11pm)

        NOTE: Unlike "Birthday Candle Wishes" (that must be kept secret), your "11:11 WISH-MINUTE" Wish is PUBLIC (so others can help put good "wish vibes" out there for you!), posted publicly at www.WishWhatever.com & via The OFFICIAL TimelyMessage.com Calendar!

        F.
        ProofOfPrediction.com

        NOTE: The image and video below were from the ORIGINAL iteration of PredictionLog.com - a startup concept years ago that Jeff was too busy/A.D.D. to stick with - but never stopped believed in the potential of it!] Simple concept: Officially LOG YOUR PREDICTION (time-stamp, date-stamp, official certificate and PL serial number, etc.) and forever have PROOF that YOU CALLED IT! 
        PredictionLog.com
        The site may or may not make a comeback at some point (IF Jeff can find  partners interested in running it!) - either the full version (a fully-functional Ruby on Rails mobile-friendly site, database connectivity, search functionality, interactive up/down-voting, etc. - code available for anyone who wants to take a look) or, perhaps a simpler/dumbed-down version using the TimelyMessage.com interface shared by all the concepts above... If interested, below is 2-Minute Product Demo of the old/original site:


        G, H, I, J...
        [More]

        There are more, but if you check out at least 2 of the above, you'll get the point (on the variety).  

        A few more currently under construction:



        P.S. If, IF, IF you enjoy Rated-R humor, memes, etc. there is an entire portfolio of products you can choose from!  But, if that's NOT your thing, I promise there are PLENTY more focused around more wholesome topics! :) (MotivationWhatever.com, CharityWhatever.com, AnimalWhatever.com, PennyWhatever.com... RandomJobsOfKindness.com?)




        Currently (temporarily?) ALL TimelyMessage.com concepts above will have their submissions displayed (Publicly! #UserGeneratedContent) via ONE TimelyMessage.com MASTER CALENDAR. Any/all can be spun off into a separate site with it's own calendar if/when it makes sense to do so.

        ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        The OFFICIAL Calendar
        (Minutes, Moments, Messages, Memories, and Much More!)



        And, remember, there are only...

        ...525,600 Minutes!

        Claim YOUR Minutes (above) or Merch (below) - Before Time Runs Out!

        And each one of the above could (will?) have a different person or team running it - as a real "Starter Startup" - competing with each other, but also collaborating on what's working, what's not, best-practices, etc. (because, at the end of the day, we're all on the same team!)


        EXAMPLE: 

        PennyWhatever.com

        THOUSANDS of these beautifully-crafted penny-art "WHATEVER PENNIES" have already been sold to happy customers! Some use them as keychains, some as necklaces or bracelets, and some are trying a "penny on your shoelace" trend...


         

        ReThinkingStartups.com NOTE FOR POTENTIAL PARTNERS:
        BUT, while we're thrilled with people making purchases like the ones above, we think these "Whatever Pennies" have MUCH more potential when we economically manage them collectively and creatively market them individually! 

        For example, each of our partners/teams (you?!) would select (and then Manage/Market/Monetize) one of these...
