Another story of a “money making†blog. In January 2008 Christian Slater started a blog on wordpress.com, with 0$ invested. His blog is named “Stuff White People Like†and in late February it came into NPR (Talk of the Nation) attention to establish if it’s a racist or a satire writing. After a month, on 20th of March, a publishing house named Random House made an announce in which it says that they have paid 300.000 $ for the copyright and that they’ll publish a book named Stuff White People Like. This is how a 3 months old blog could make you 300.000$ richer.
It was not started by Christian Slater or any other famous person, it was started by a guy named Christian Lander
haha so the story was Christian Slater started a racist blog which sold for 300.000 Wouldn't 300.000 still be $300? This story made me laugh though.
Yeah, I think that's right. For some people it's just enough to mentions a brand and this brand will be profitable forever
Browsed the blog, didn't like it, it is stupid, ridiculous and not even remotely funny. In fact it was the 10 most boring minutes in my whole week. Conclusion: I am not white any more! Solution: Gonna do what Michael Jackson did only the opposite
damn what a fluke 300k for a 3month old blog this guy must be one of the luckiest people on earth lol
Gives me an interesting idea. Use the name of a famous person like "Sylvester Stallone" and you could get some good free publicity from the controversy! Of course, you claim that it is only a pen name, coincidence and has nothing to do with movies. lol
