Question

【题目】A T-shirt a day has kept unemployment away for an American man who is making about ＄ 85,000 a year by selling advertising space on his shirt.

Jason Sadler,26,was once a former marketing expert from Florida. In 2008, he founded his own company, “I wear your shirt”,with the idea to wear a T-shirt supplied by any company and then use social media tools to develop the company. Sadler charges the “face value” of the day for his human billboard(广告牌)service. So January 1 costs ＄1,while December 31 costs ＄365. He said this may not sound like a lot, but it adds up to ＄66,795 a year if he sells out every day, which he did this year. He also sells monthly sponsorships (赞助) for ＄1,500,adding another ＄18,000 to his income.

“I walk around, take photos, wear the shirt all day... I blog about those photos. I put them up on Twitter. I change my Facebook introduction... and then I do a Youtube video. I made about ＄83,000 this year,” Reuters Television. The average U. S. income is about ＄615 a week or about ＄ 32,000 a year,according to the U. S. government.

Sadler has already begun to plan for his year 2010. He is making services larger by hiring another person to wear a shirt a day on the west coast of the United States.
