How Gonintendo can make money

Postby aceoYe » 12 Apr 2007 02:16

make t-shirts with ur logo or something on it (gonintedoey) and we'll buy them promise. The front could have that Gonintendo logo, and the back of the shirt could have mario or something with the quote "What Are You Waiting For?" Trust me

it was mentioned in the past that gonintendo should have tshirts but with it's current popularity now may be a good time to bring it up again.

Or they could launder money for big international crime organizations. :twisted: Those two in the Nintendo commercials seem awfully shady just driving up to random homes to play Wii. How can they afford the gas as they travel? I say they are part of the yakuza branch of nintendo... Anyhoo t-shirts would be keen.

T-Shirts would be sweet.

Possible quote "4-11-07 Never Forget when the site was brought to its knees.
" or just something along the lines of 'I survived podcast 86!'

That pic of RMC on a shirt would be pretty sweet.

I was going to suggest a Paypal donate button or some such thing. This site and the podcast has brigthened up my life so much that I'd gladly drop a few bucks when I could to keep it going smoothly.

Like I suggested before, why not put the Gonintendo logo in the front of the shirt, and in the back, it can be custom-made to have your username.

I've suggested this in the past, but:

I think donators could get something special for donators. Like, if you donate, you get to be in a special message board group (With their own little icon, of course).

Or, they could get a shout-out on the podcast, and donators could be under a special section when you click the Active Staff button on the main page.

GoNintendo can go sell Lube to some factories and make money. I'd say, about $5. Maybe $10, if they've heard the podcast.

Hahaha, I'm just kidding. At least $30.


Seriously, I really like that GoNintendo has maintained it's integrity and not sold out just to make money. While I am sad that Rawmeat puts his life into the site and doesn't get an appropriate salary, I do like the outlook of the site. But I trust Rawmeat to do what is necesary and right for the site.
Wait, Raiden what in MGS4?

A Nintend()\/\/|\|312 t-shirt would definitely secure my titel of being the coolest kid on the block. I'd buy one/forty! :D

Question is whether or not they'be allowed to do this or not. I'd definitely try to buy a GoNintendo shirt if legal issues didn't get in the way.

as long as we don't use any copywritten or trademarked properties, we can pretty much put anything we want onto t-shirts, coffee mugs, etc.

like i've said before, we have several ideas on the table for things like tshirts.. it's just a matter of having time to produce the designs! my free time for designing things is at a premium lately (not much of it to go around), so if anyone with keen design skills wants to lend a hand, drop me a line! (of course it's all volunteer-based, the only rewards are the glory and warmth of helping others) :-P

if we had our usernames on our shirts it would make it easier to identify each other at the unconfirmed gonintendo 100th podcast party

I would donate money for an autographed shirt from Gonintendo!
(maybe around 15-35 dollars?)

nicky hill and i are discussing some additional gonintendo... "elements" that will make tshirts, mugs, bumper stickers, etc much more feasible and attractive.

i'd still love to design some tshirts... but of course it comes down to time, which is particularly short lately. as i mentioned above, if anyone else wants to take a crack or needs some help doing so, by all means!

as for the donation link, we used to have one on the home page. for any number of reasons, it's no longer there. would people really donate regularly to the site? part of the problem might be that despite their best intentions, many of our visitors don't have credit cards or ways to transfer money online... i know this from personal experience and response from the community (for those that remember my ds lite quest).

anyway... any tshirt artists out there interested in lending a hand? i'm not sure how personally autographing a tshirt would work unless you meet any of us staffers in person, but it's a great idea. i don't have a cortjezter signature--other than that on the messageboards here, of course ;)

i like the sound of the additional elements! and as many people have mentioned i like the sound of tshirts with the gonintendo sign and username or even signatures etc

i for one dont actually have a means of donating money but if i did i think i would if i recieved something for doing so... like a shirt or mug (some sort of incentive)... but i dont know if that would be possible for people like me who live in the UK! the postage might be a bit steep!!!

I would really dig the a lenin style shirt with RMC on it instead. I dont have the skills to do it but sure someone does! If someone could just make the design, I would custom order one for myself :)

I'd buy a shirt, possibly even a coffee mug. :)

Another option is for Lube and Nicky Hill to sell their bodies for scientific experimentation. I'm sure that would bring in at least a couple of bucks. ;)

Nintenho and Rawmeat can dance for money. Deux can show off his bod for cash and JTS can do some explosions on the street corner for the little kids.

Or they could go around begging.
