Last week, the always-inventive Jeremy Wright did an interesting thing. He offered his blogging services up on eBay. Here’s his press release on the subject, which is getting some quality play. He started at the flimsy sum of US $100 for three months of blogging (5-10 posts a week), but with roughly five and a half days left in the auction, he’s up to US$500.
This sounded like a great idea. My clients pay me to blog already, so why not hop on Jeremy’s coattails? I emailed him and asked him, and he said it was all right. Now you can rent me on eBay, too.
Thanks to Jeremy’s experience, I’ve priced my auction starting at US $500. That’s a pretty paltry sum, frankly, but this is as much about the idea as it is about cold, hard cash. Worst case scenario: no one bids on me, and I’m out five bucks on the eBay listing. As you’ll see in my auction, I credit Jeremy a couple of times and link to his auction.

Good luck Darren! I’ll be covering this on an upcoming news episode.
Awww, c’mon, we could be your first repeat guests 😉
I am keeping track of both Darren’s and Jeremy’s blogging services auctions on my blog. I will be adding daily bidding updates for both bloggers, to help raise the bidding.
The current level of $500.00 USD is incredibly cheap, in my opinion.
Go 10K go!!!! 😉
you guys should just bid on each others auction – get it up really high (which will get some big publicity). Get both up to say $10,000 – and then at the end neither of you is out of pocket – but you’ve got all the publicity….
sorry – I’m being devious….
Problem is we’d be out 300$ in eBay fees for a 10K sale 😉
aaah – pity…hehe….
I might be devious but I’m not that smart….
This is an opportunity I couldn’t pass up. Although I don’t think I’ll be the winning bidder for long, at least for now I’ve got myself an excellent deal. Let’s get this auction started !
