I was born a mere 6 days and 30 miles from one of the most legendary geeks on the planet. No, not bill Gates, but the incredible Chris Pirillo. Sure Chris packed up lockergnome and moved to Seattle – who wouldn’t? I myself packed up and moved to Los Angeles. But unlike Chris Pirillo, I came back to Iowa, and am now working a job as a web site programmer/designer – instead of raking in the bucks as a big blogger.
I should be out there with Chris and the Big Boys. My net experience, and entourage of contacts, should have my blog in the top of the ratings. But it’s not, and never will. I even tried this morning to go to some of Chris’s sites for inspiration, especially his Silicon Valley community site, which I am trying to mimic at http://www.discoverames.com. But apparently all his sites are down at the moment. oops.
So what does Chris Pirillo have that I don’t? Is it too late for me to make money on the Internet by blogging? I don’t know. I need to find that niche I guess… that is what everybody says. Find the niche. Easier said than done. And so I continue the search for the Pirillo Code, hoping to one day attend Gnomedex and maybe, just maybe, make a buck or two.
