If you haven’t heard, an 11-year-old boy shot a gigantic hog down in Arkansas. Apparently it’s larger than the previous record holder, a Mr. Hogzilla. Awesome.
How to create a market
Do something extraordinary. Look at this freaking animal. Now that you have everyone’s attention:
Praise your supporters by posting their comments on your website.
Rile up your adversaries by doing the same, and inserting this little jab:
Warning!!! Your Negative e-mails may be posted and some of you will be Prayed for.
Now that you’ve gotten exposure and hit digg, sell some posters.
See? Anyone can do it. The website is awful, but look at the attention they’re getting. It could have just hit the news and been dropped from there, but Dad was smart enough to capitalize. I’d be surprised if they don’t take it a step further. Sell some t-shirts, take some donations, heck, start a social network around large snorting animals.
Also
Caught this in the article, and I feel like it’s kinda my thing now, so I have to point it out.
If the claims are accurate, Jamison’s trophy boar would be bigger than Hogzilla, the famed wild hog that grew to seemingly mythical proportions after being killed in south Georgia in 2004.
How does a hog grow after being killed? It’s one thing to catch an error on someone’s blog, but Fox News is a whole new level. They pay people to edit for this type of thing. What’s next, an actual news site?

That typo is funny! Wow I couldn’t believe the size of that thing, its massive! How did something that big stay alive long enough to grow to that size?

I agree, sometimes it’s not a bad idea to do something outrageous to set yourself apart from the rest!!!!

If you can do something that people will notice, you’ll get all the traffic you need.
