AKA Rally

Site is live with registration, pics, video and more now! Check it out!

Is coming soon! Chris said by the end of the week. So check the new AKA boards for info or just check back here I guess!

So I’ve been reading up on “How to make money with your blog.” And figured it might be an option to get me out & on the road. Will blog to rally should be more like it though. Finding monetary sponsors for me & the bike is still pretty hard because I’m not as big as Team Polizei. I’ve got plenty of support for product and the bike is pretty much tricked out. So, I’ve turned to the internets for a bit of I CAN HAS SPONSOR?

First option/idea is to take the bike and cut up all of the bodywork into a 1″ x 1″ grid and literally sell off squares for a price. Come away with some money to cover rally fees and should have a pretty sweet looking paint job in the end too! With the Gumball 3000 & the AKA Rally, sponsors will be well publicized and get plenty of coverage worldwide.

Another option is to have ads and links here with AdSense and a few other ad based revenue sites. Are a few banners really worth the trouble, and would it really contribute all that much? I’ll keep playing around with it and see if there isn’t a happy medium.

A few other sites also recommend having a PayPal donate button on the site. If anyone is interested in that, let me know and we’ll work out some ad space or some coverage of some sort. PayPal and money orders are always good though!

Shwag! But of course! Rally Duc shirts and hats will be coming soon along with some posters and fun stuff within the end of the month! CafePress is great because it sets-up all of the printing and shipping for you! So the RallyDuc Shwag store will be open for business soon. I’ve already got a few graphic artists working on ideas.

So how can you make money with your blog? I’m still trying to figure that out myself. If/when I do get it right, I’ll be sure to let you all know…
