WOULD YOU BUY NOTHING FOR SOMETHING

Released on = September 19, 2006, 3:30 am

Industry = Small Business

Press Release Summary = Unemployed graduates initiate the biggest Internet
experiment of all time. Earning an income by selling nothing online.

Press Release Body = Malaysia, Sept: An Internet experiment initiated by three
Malaysian graduates recently have now evolved into a money-making opportunity. What
are they selling? Nothing.

Its site, aptly named sellingnothing.com, speaks about consumers today who are
willing to spend on luxuries, keepsakes or forgettable items, which to some, would
be of no purpose. Examples given were the selling of bottled air from Wales and
designer water from France.

\"If people can put in money to buy something for absolutely nothing at all, will
they buy nothing at all?\" wrote founder Samuel Y. And that is precisely what the
experiment is all about.

Publicity for this experiment have mostly been from blogs which all three graduates
own. Fellow bloggers are also encouraged to advertise the site by placing a banner
on their blogs. The banner comes with a counter that monitors the selling of
nothings on a daily basis. These bloggers have the opportunity to cash in on the
experiment as rewards will be given out.

People interested to buy nothing can visit the site and opt to buy nothing. There
are different options to choose from and a complimentary advertisment space will be
thrown in based on how much nothing has been bought.

To encourage more people to join in this experiment, the highest buyer of nothing
will be placed on the top of the page until someone else buys more nothings.

Currently, traffic to this site is building up and it would be interesting to see
its progress in the next few weeks. It is true. Now, everyone can buy nothing.
