In This Economy?

A brand new online vacation-booking website in the San Francisco area needs a name. And they want to pay someone $2,000 to provide them with that name.

They put up an ad on craigslist explaining the details of this way-too-good-to-be-true-but-is-actually-true assignment:

As this is a web-based business, we need a domain that is available, or one that we can acquire relatively inexpensively. Please email us a list of suggestions, and note whether or not the domain is available.

If we use the name that you suggest, and the domain is available, we’ll pay you $2,000. If we need to purchase the domain, we’ll pay you $2,000 minus the cost of the name, or $1,000, whichever is more.

To get an idea of what our site will be like, take a look at Zonder.com (that’s our closest competitor). We like names like Zonder, Kayak, Google, and Orbitz – not VacationRentalsOnlineBooking.com.

Check out the ad in its entirety HERE.

So stop reading this, take five minutes, come up with some nonsense words and send them in. You just may win a couple thousand bucks.

GOOD LUCK!
