Isn’t it about time you stepped up and got in on the fun? You don’t have to have your own blog or podcast — you don’t even have to be much of a hiker (I’m living proof of that).
It’s not like you have to fear shaming yourself in front of a huge audience. My business plan — that someday your employers will pay me to stop posting so you can get back to work — has taken longer than expected to implement, which means we have a core of about 50 people at most who come by every day, plus a few dozen more who stop by now and then just to make sure I’m not recommending hiking on the Gaza Strip dressed as a rabbi.
So if you haven’t posted before, now’s your chance. Remember, when Two Heel Drive becomes a global enterprise with billions, you can tell all your friends you were among the elite back in the day, when everything was much better till wealth and fame went to my head.
I will start this out, because I know how fun it is to look in on your blog and see a new comment. Validation that what you write is being read by someone, and not just floating around in that nebulous space called the internet is one of the great blogger joys.
Hey, Tom as a frequent commenter, I am still wondering when this whole wealth generation engine is going to start filling my pockets.
What gives??
I am too shy……
Tom Clifton raises an excellent point. How much longer until I can pay off my mortgage by eBaying that autographed Las Trampas map from the First Annual Groundhog’s Day Invitational?
well, “hiking blog” has the no. 1 google ranking… as soon as that becomes worth more than the cost of a cup of coffee, you guys will be the first to know.
Sure, sure, number one. But c’mon. Look at three and four.
I’m with Kris. Too shy.
I like reading your blog, because I still miss living in the Bay Area. On the other hand, Oregon is a nice place to live /plus/ I can afford a house. 🙂
Reading your blog gives me lots of ideas for things to do when I come home to visit!
I am here (raising my hand), long time lurker. I love your blog. Between two heel drive and your side kicks, I can find information on any hike I dream of. Just today I hike Montara Mountain.
Hello from Norway 🙂
I’ve been lurking for a while and I think
you have beautiful nature pictures!
This is my first visit to your site and am wondering about this business plan. I did look through your posts a little. Looks like a well thought out blog for the Bay Area hiker. If you need info or reports from the Reno area, give me a shout.
Tom, just as soon as you implement an ecommerce function, we should go on a full-press M&A spree, don’t you think?
Randy, you’re too kind! 😉
I’m kinda on the shy side too… 😉
But let me know how that blogger business plan works out for you. I’m waiting for mine to start filling the coffers as well.
