I signed up on the dotted line.

My first impressions?
.
That I am going to receive a load of spam on that Email account now.
.
They now know
.
That I am 46 years old
.
Male
.
Geeky
.
Fat
.
And married
.
So, there is a 90% chance that I will now get silly
"Lonely Horney women want to meet you"
Style crap!
.
Because obviously, all us men that tick all those boxes must be all be unfulfilled, immature, cartoonish lampoons that want to shag complete strangers
.
I very much doubt I will get any sponsorship offers from this.
.
I reckon the story of this venture will end here...
.
But if silly badly targeted spam is the only thing that happens,
Then it was worth a punt!

Potential influencer?
Who me?
.
I have just received the following email
.
“Hi there,
I came across your Twitter page and was wondering if you ever do product reviews or influencer campaigns. If you do, we'd love to have you in our network doing commissioned videos and product reviews via Intellifluence. We're an influencer marketing platform that helps connect small business and medium sized brands with willing product reviewers across a variety of mediums and blogs; reviewers are compensated monetarily and /or with product by the brands that reach out.
If you've made the transition from creative to creative influencer, or if you haven't yet but are interested in doing so, it will cost you nothing as an influencer and we'd be very happy to have you in the family. Unlike many other networks, we don't take any of your earnings - you keep them all. It's free to join as an influencer via *** LINK ***
While the typical experience would include brands reaching out to you inside our app, we're excited to have recently launched a new system where you as an influencer can view what brands are looking for and interact with them directly. Check out what some of our brands are offering here: *** LINK ***
If you're not quite ready to sign up but are interested in learning more about what influencer marketing is all about, I encourage you to check out our introduction video: *** LINK ***
Cheers,”

Now I make no secret that I desperately want to make my living from my plastic keyboard
.
Not a huge fortune, just the equivalent of a full-time minimum wage!
.
I have lost count of the Spam I receive that seem too good to be true.
.
Always a slightly more subtle (but not by much) version of the following.
.
“You are super talented”
“We want to pay you”

Maybe mental health is improving just enough to make me stupidly optimistic.
.
BUT
.
For some unknown reason...
I, against all my initial instincts and common sense now find myself feeling that wired strange people sometimes talk about in high fantasy and sci-fi films.
.
I forget…
What is that feeling called again?
.
Oh yes
Thas right!
.
Hope.

I have not felt that for a significant amount of time,
.
But because I am sure there are other aspiring writers in the same delusional boat as me.

I thought.

How about I write this intro,
BEFORE I even click on the links they have sent me.
.
And do a Blow by Blow Account of my initial reactions, feelings and experiences as they happen?
.
SO
If it turns out to be yet another silly con, you will all be there when the reveal happens.
.
If It turns out to be any form of scam, you will all be there when I work it their angle.
.
If It turns out to be more bullshit, you will all be there when I scream!

You will be there if it as all legit.
.
You will all be there if I get to become a self-sustaining professional writer!
.
.
And if, in 10 years, I do happen to become a mega-famous douche bag
.
You will be able to see how it happened and that

(Why the hell else would a legitimate company need to know whether I was single or not!)
