Skinny Moose Media: We Go Live….5…..4…..3….2…
Posted by Jason A. Hendricks on June 12, 2008 |
I know. This doesn’t look like my usual ‘Adventure Post’. Your right, it’s not. I just want to take a minute and update everyone on some of the cool happenings around Skinny Moose Media (my blog host), A few plans for the future, and how I might be taking on a bigger role around this neck of the woods. We will see how it goes.
THE BIG NEWS FIRST
Many of you may have noticed the yellow “Breaking” band right beneath my blog banner. I know I did. I didn’t put it there. Steven did. Blame him. This little banner explains some of the excitement going on with Skinny Moose Media today. You may be thinking, “Moose Drawing? What the….is that?” I will get to that in just a moment.
Going a bit deeper with the banner, this is the first ‘Live” telecast being featured on Skinny Moose Media. They have podcasts. They have radio. Now they have “Live” streaming video to add to the mix. Essentially, what this means is this–in the very near future, if this is pulled off with some success, you may start seeing some live broadcasts across the network. Since Skinny Moose Media is a leader in the world of Outdoors Media, this should be exciting. We may be able to offer up our own hunting, fishing, and outdoors programs in the very near future.
The First Broadcast
The first ‘Live” broadcast from Skinny Moose Media LLC. will feature something that many of us on my side
of the world won’t know much about. Skinny Moose Media has teamed up with the Kittery Trading Post, out of Kittery, Maine, to bring us the state of Maine’s annual Moose Drawing Lottery. This is an annual drawing for hunters to get the chance to bag a moose. Hopefully, it won’t be Tom that gets bagged.
Tom Remington is the Vice President of Skinny Moose Media and will be the master of ceremonies today. He’s the one putting on the show. Some of you may know Tom through his highly entertaining podcast “Open Air..with Tom Remington” others may know him through the Black Bear Blog. If you’ve ever had a chance to listen to him, you know he brings some great insight, information, and always a touch of humor. Should be a neat show.
Tom will be kicking things off in mere minutes. He is going to be getting some interviews, doing a bit of side work, and offering up something that many of us have probably not seen before. I will be tuning in HERE shortly for the kick-off and the programs.

I am not very good at talking about myself, so bear with me on this one. I am in the final stages of signing on as the “Recruiting Director” for Skinny Moose Media. This new position will offer me the opportunity to work with the Skinny Moose Media team, reach out to the blogging community, perhaps bring some new bloggers on board, and share some of my experiences with them. That’s the first part of the job. The second part will be a bit more taxing and involve me reaching out to perspective advertisers.
I have set some lofty goals for this one. Skinny Moose Media currently has a network of 42 blogs in place. In one year, I am going to try to double that network. Forty-Two is a pretty good goal, but with millions of bloggers out there, it shouldn’t be much of a problem. I am off to a good start. I need 40 more. I really don’t know why I am sharing my goals, other than to have it out there and keep me motivated.
So, if any of you know some great bloggers, send them over. I would be glad to share more information on what Skinny Moose Media can do for you. Besides the Hunting, Fishing, and Outdoors Channels, there are many other opportunities that span almost every field, from Sports to Entertainment and beyond. If you write, are looking to expand your horizons a bit, would like a free blog domain, blog hosting, and a full tech support team behind you, email me and I will see what we can do. Email me at theadventurist@cliffhanger.com
In regards to the advertising. Same deal goes. If you are an advertiser and looking for a great way to market your products or services to a specific audience, Skinny Moose Media can help. We offer up many different packages with some really great deals going on. We feature all standard ad sizes and can work with any given program. We offer some of the best prices in the industry, to reach a large audience, specifically tuned in to the products or services you offer. If you would be interested in learning more about the marketing opportunities with Skinny Moose Media, whether it be a single blog that has captured your eye, Channel Wide (Each of our topics are included in a specific Channel, geared towards that specific topic) or Network Wide, drop me an email and I will promptly send you an ad rate sheet and more details. Once again, my email address is theadventurist@cliffhanger.com
I am excited to work with the Skinny Moose Media team. By talking to them over the past few weeks, I have been able to learn quite a bit about the company, as well as what the future has in store. Their values and dedication has shown me that everyone involved is geared towards the future. If I didn’t think that the proper infrastructure was in place to succeed, that they didn’t allow room to grow with the company, then I probably would have chosen a different path. To put it quite simply, I like what they do and what they stand for. They value who they work with. Integrity and Honesty, two things I value very high, are valued even higher by the Skinny Moose Media team. I appreciate the opportunity and look forward to working with everyone involved towards a bigger and brighter future. Steve and Tom Remington and Mary Ward–I offer a special thanks for working closely with me over the past couple of weeks and sharing your insight, knowledge and enthusiasm in regards to myself. I am very comfortable and feel that I am ready for the challenge. Thank-you.

Sounds like you have some great goals for your work with Skinny Moose. Steve and Tom and great guys, and Tom’s radio show is terrific. He interviewed me on it once and it was a great time. He asks very good and insightful questions. Plus he made me laugh a lot.

I think Tom makes everyone laugh. He is definitely a character, but also knows how to present his case.
