Will business plan take off; or crash and burn?

Ever feel like you’re throwing marketing money out the window? This Indonesian businessman will do you one better.

He’ll chuck it out of an airplane. That’s the game plan for Tung Desem Waringin, author and motivational speaker. Instead of spending a lot of money on a market ploy for his second book, he’ll be showering Jakarta residents with 100 million rupiah (about $10,740) from the skies.

Considering millions of Indonesians live on less than $2 per day, his unorthodox methods might pay off — depending on how much he’ll charge for his book, of course.

Jakarta police had refused to give Waringin a permit for the aerial stunt, so he’ll need to stay outside of the capital when it’s time for the drop.

We’re unable to obtain a translation of the title for his second book, but if it were “How to Get Rid of 100 Million Rupiah for Dummies,” we wouldn’t be surprised.
