I am told that an influencer can make a lot of money
All you need is a bunch of social media followers
Who watch your photo and video postings
Surely an easy transition from being a poetry blogger
I am already dreaming how to spend all that new income
After researching I discovered the typical profile of high earning influencers
They are mostly 20-30 years of age
Majority are female and very attractive
Dressed in the latest designer fashions
With followers measured in millions
The age and gender things are insurmountable hurdles for me
I would not look that good in designer clothes anyway
I would also need more than 200 times my current Cheeky Monkey followers
Then I discovered that there are senior influencers out there
Labeled as Granfluencers with some in the 80’s and 90’s
They mostly do incredible things like body transformations
Turning their flabby midriff into rock hard six packs
Showing seniors how to pump iron like a champ
I am not a gym rat so that line of work is out for me
There must be something entertaining I could do
I thought about cycling but that is not outrageous enough in itself
What I need is something interesting that would entertain folks
Then I hit on this great idea
I could give talks on single malt whisky
Film myself drinking scotch daily while traveling
Get sponsored tours of Highland distilleries
Film myself drinking scotch in exotic places
Surrounded by attractive women in designer clothes
Better still I could drink scotch while riding my high end road bike between distilleries
Followed by a big peloton of beautiful female riders in skimpy lycra suits advertising scotch
All I need now is a catchy name for my new single malt sipping cycling tour blog
After a lot of marketing brainstorming I found the perfect label:
