Maybe you could let people create their own customized "House Rules" reference card for their car, maybe as a sticker they could attach to their passenger window or something.<p><pre><code> $12 * 100,000 * 0.05 = $60k</code></pre>
Write the book and sell it to them...<p><a href="http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog/2009/12/08/no-more-excuses-how-to-make-an-extra-100000-in-the-next-6-months/" rel="nofollow">http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog/2009/12/08/no-more-excu...</a>
The domain (Shotgun.com) would be more valuable then the group, wouldn't it?<p>In any case, throw up an online shop on it, posters, pamphlets, coffee table book, bumper stickers. See if any of it sells.
Christmas/Holiday gifts seem like the obvious choice. I would definitely buy a poster for my brother with the rules of shotgun on it (if it was funny). Not sure if you can put it together in time.
Anyone have any ideas? I was thinking maybe taking the content from the group and making a 'Rules for Calling Shotgun" Pocket book (that people could keep in their cars). Everyday I get a facebook message from 1 or 2 people who want me to put their information on the 'group details' page... but anyone know of anyone or have any other ideas?<p>Thanks.
