Free Shirt Friday - Sauza Tequila
Today’s Tshirt is brought to you by Sauza Tequila! Click on the link for some nice background music while you read on.
I’ve never been a big fan of tequila. I prefer daiquiris over margaritas, but this last weekend I think I discovered my new favorite shot that involves Tequila Rose and butterscotch schnapps (the recipe name is inappropriate for this blog).
Anyhoo, Sauza Tequila is also the maker of Hornitos. If you haven’t seen the billboards for this, then you live in a more remote area than I do! I should probably now show my gratitude for the tshirt by test-tasting some Sauza Tequila… let’s just hope tequila doesn’t make my clothes fall off.
Off to the Pierce County Fair now…

There was no “Free Shirt Friday” last week, due to the fact that 1) it was the the Fourth of July Holiday, and 2) I was a bit hungover from my brother’s 30th birthday party.
This week’s tshirt is from ShareASale.com (SaS), great parasite-free network for both affiliates and merchants. It came packaged in plastic shaped as a star, SAS’s emblem. They were the first ones I knew of to use the cool packaging concept (they also throw the coolest parties). I have since received a few more shaped tshirts waiting in my “free shirt tote”, so stay tuned for more.
I received another star shirt from ShareASale.com a couple of years ago and wore it when I lost my luggage in Orlando. Trust me when I say these shirts come out a bit wrinkled, and I recommend washing before wearing, unless you like the crinkly look.
Note the bandage on my wrist - I had a slight mishap yesterday and had to have stitches! After that, I need to ask Brian if he has any extra ShareASale pint glasses to spare.
Please note I am still new at this video-blogging stuff. I used my flipcam propped up on a tripod, but could not get the video uploaded to Movie Maker to edit/add titles, etc. I clicked on “download codecs automatically” and restarted, but still no go. I also experimented with TubeMogul, where you can upload your video, and it then uploads to the various video-enabled sites. I tried to upload to five different sites, but it kept timing out and only uploaded to Google. I’ll try again when I have more patience.
Free Shirt Friday - Support NY Affiliates
Before New York governor Elliot Spitzer’s hooker scandal, he signed a proposed provision to the New York State sales tax law that requires out-of-state online retailers with in-state affiliates to collect and remit sales tax on purchases by New York buyers (source: Internet Retailer). Amazon seems to be the main target of the provisions and has filed a lawsuit challenging such.
Unfortunately many online merchants are now dropping affiliates based in New York to avoid collecting the sales tax. Now this doesn’t directly affect me as I live in Nebraska as you can see by the soybean field in my backyard (but may someday if other states follow suit), but I have colleagues that live in New York have been dropped, leaving them the choice of incorporating their business in another state or finding new programs to promote, thus changing all of their links/site.
For more information, visit NYAffiliates.com on ABestWeb for the latest news on the NY state tax law.
Thanks to Greg Rice, Sr of Commerce Management Consulting / gocmc.com for sending me this “Support New York Affiliate” t-shirt. CMC is an independent affiliate program management company with programs on ShareASale and CJ and will be distributing Support NY Affiliates buttons at Affiliate Summit in Boston.

Free Shirt Friday - Pingo.com
HELLO! I got this funky shirt from Brian Hawkins over at Pingo.com that says “Hello” in seven different languages. And I added the hand wave as my way as saying hello as well.
So I made it a mission to translate the greetings…
Hello! (English, duh)
Bonjour! (French)
Ciao! (Italian)
Hola! (Spanish)
Moshi Moshi (Japenese)
Alô (Portuguese)
Алло (Russian)
(Chinese, pronounced Nee HaOW)
I couldn’t figure out the bright green one - can anyone help me??
Update: Thanks to Evaa for translating…
“the last one in green says “Nameste” (that’s hello in HINDI from Hindustan (India)”And as the front of the shirt says “In any language… Pingo …the last calling care you’ll ever need!”
Pingo.com is currently offering $5 in free calling when visitors sign up for a pre-paid calling card. They also have an affiliate program at Linkshare. Brian also sent me a couple of calling cards to test out the service and a coupon entitling me to take a day off! Thanks Brian!
P.S. Unlike Scott Jangro, I’m not afraid to wear this tshirt in public.
