Ed Lau came to today’s Dot Com Pho bearing gifts from Shawn Knight. In addition to running his blog, Shawn’s also the owner of OCIA (a TTZ Media affiliate) and sent a bunch of T-shirts for Ed to give to local BC bloggers. Why? Because it’s an awesomely cheap way to get a plug! Not only am I writing about it, but Ed wrote about it as well and I’m sure the rest of the BC’s bloggers will be writing about it when they get their shirts.
I am not sure how many shirts Shawn made or how many he is sending to other bloggers but I’m sure he’ll get more than his money’s worth on the deal. I need to make some shirts for my blog but I haven’t come up with a good design yet. If anyone want to give a go at designing me a shirt, please feel free. If I use it, I’ll send you a finished shirt, plus another little gift.
In the picture above and below, you can see Ed, Stephen Fung and myself modeling the new OCIA shirt. All three shirts are the same. Stephen has his shirt on backwards.

One of the most common complaint (or excuse) I hear from potential new bloggers is they don’t know how to install WordPress. Terms like FTP and CPanel are like a foreign language and setting up a database might as well be setting up the space shuttle for a launch. Because of the technology barrier, many would-be bloggers never start their blogs...

Send me a box of shirts and I’ll make sure it gets distributed.
do they send it overseas?
I think that’s not for free.
Ya,they selling the t-shirt
Very Nice idea. Talk about viral marketing and name branding! I plan to have my t-shirts spread all over the place too in the near future.

Greetings from France John.
Rock on, thanks for the posting! I think Stephen just didn’t realize his was on backwards hah
Stephen doesn’t realize much!
John does not realize that the shirt has no branding on the front. It could be ANY shirt from the front so I turned it around
they seem to enjoy themselves in the picture
that was funny pictures you guys took! are you giving out these shirts, john?
I sent some shirts up that way to be distributed. But, if you want a shirt, just hit up my blog for more details. I am running a promotion where you can get a free link back and partial refund
Can these tshirts be shipped to Belgium or is it only for North America?
Yeah the shirts can be shipped internationally.
You crazy kids.
they are.
i think it’s a great idea, maybe i should do the same with avideoaday.com once i’ve got a proper logo and some money as well
I’ve been thinking about making some shirts, but I’m waiting on a logo to be made and figure out some prices.
Nice Pics and Shirt Design may be ll come up with a shirt design for you John….
hahaha i love how you guys stood in a row where you went from the shortest to the tallest.. it reminds me of some well-synchronized comic shot of some sort that could be on the Comedy Channel!
Or school photos,
That was unintentional, really…
You could rename your post:
“What you see when you don’t have a gun!”
i don’t get it
i see what you mean now
Funny
John, a few months back I won a contest for creating the “most evil” John Chow picture – plaster that on a t-shirt to give out, lol.
My evil John Chow picture

The red johnchow is funny
John, nice pic. I am a new so this post is the first time i seen you in a pic. You should definately simpsonize yourself and customize the clothing and everything.I simpsonized myself and the result was a pic that looked exactly like me(almost).I put the pic in the about section of yeoq.

Nice shirts! I want one!
Steve
sniff sniff this poor bc blogger didn’t get a t-shirt..
Is he selling the shirts also?
PS: You’re falling John…
I just searched on some search engines and you aren’t at the top…hmmm…
KeyWord: Make Money Online
Yahoo Ranking: 8
Google Ranking: Not in first five pages
Live (previously MSN) Ranking: Not in first 3 pages
Keyword: John Chow
Yahoo: 1
Google: Not Found
MSN: 1
So the make money online keyword certainly shows that you’re going to get bitch slapped by other search engines soon…
You have found a great way for offsite promotion. That’s good idea and I think many of the bloggers will like it.
Giveaway a Tshirt JC!!!
Nice t-shirts, you’d just need a better photographer to make it look even better
. If you ever need a good photographer for the job, you know where to find me http://peterbernik.blogspot.com

Funny you would post this today when I spent a little time checking prices and such on CafePress but didn’t find the kind of stuff I was looking for. Not to mention I don’t have a logo either or anything like that – and I’m not sure anyone would buy my crap anyways, lol.
Hilarious pictures! What a bunch of goobers, lol.
U look like an educated adult using that style on your pic, that why i still reading your blog after a year
????cant understand
Who posted this on hot or not??

Does anyone really want a shirt that says “John Chow” on it? It might lead to some confusion.
