Sears Tower is being renamed Willis Tower:
The Buzz Log - Whatchu talkin' 'bout, Willis (Tower)? - Yahoo! Buzz

The Chicago building was once the tallest in the world and is now being named after a British company. Apparently people are not very happy.

Grab a domain like:

  • Willis-Tower.net
  • Willis-Tower.org
  • Willis-Tower.info
  • WillisTower.us
(all available at time of this post)

Then:

  • Put up some quick content about Sears Tower slash Willis Tower
  • Slap a HUGE graphic that takes up most of the screen that says, "Vote: Which name do you like more: Sears Tower or Willis Tower.
  • Explain the whole US/British thing - especially if you get the .US domain name cause then it makes sense
  • Make it VERY obvious that just for voting they'll win an XYZ
  • Have your buttons for voting connect to an email/zip submit for XYZ
  • Make money
  • Bid via adwords for the term "Willis Tower" as you can be damned sure there aren't many, if any, people bidding on it
For better results, scope out the offer you're going to use first and design the site to look like the offer. You actually don't need to do much if any design work.

Make sure you keep track of conversions - don't want to blow $500 on adwords and make $0

Also, hit up all the recent news articles/blog posts and make a comment how you hate the name change and that there is a petition going around to help keep the name from a United States company. Link to your site.

Hope some newb picks up this idea and makes some money with it. It could always fail miserably. But when you just go out on a limb and try shit like this, at some point something is going to stick.

Go for it. Cheers.

wouldn't a zip submit offer work great for you Maz, you could do a simple PHP script to count the yes and no votes, if you wanted to do that.
 
Short term way to make money. + rep though.

But I think it is hard to find motivation to do this over the long term except for the money sake (paying the bills).
 
I dont understand how making a quiz and counting yes / no votes makes me money. What do I do to them after they finish the quiz?

You don't count them. You have them vote on a useless poll and send them to a page to enter their email or whatever. The info they enter is what you're payed for. This is the focus of month 1 at ppc coach. There's all kinds of shit over there about it.
