My quest to be an influencer

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:

  1. Love it. That name has a racy connotation too, and a place for one or more of the bikini-clad lovelies of your imagination.
