Demotivation can make money

May 29th, 2008 by Ingrid Cliff

Just to prove that you don’t have to be all sweetness, light and positive in your approach to make money, despair.com is re-inventing the motivation niche.

It started as a parody on all those motivational posters that litter workplaces (and yes as HR Manager I was guilty of buying them also). It then progressed into t-shirts, coffee mugs and videos.

So what sort of thing can you find on despair.com?

Tradition – Just because you’ve always done it doesn’t mean it’s not incredibly stupid.

Mistakes - It could be that the purpose of your life is only to serve as a warning to others.

Meetings - None of us is as dumb as all of us.

Challenges - I expected times like this – but I never thought they’d be so bad, so long, and so frequent.

Me … I prefer the positive approach, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a market for cynicism. Are you ignoring potential markets?
