    re: Chief Niwot

    Perhaps selling might not be the best way to monetize this.

    A couple of other ideas that come to mind would be to sell the rights to some running website like flotrack or to just upload it to youtube and run ads, although if you go the YouTube route you'd need to put out more content regularly, as new content not only drives new revenue but also drives users to your other videos. Depending on how large a following you could get on youtube it can generate significant revenue. My channel is gonna generate 900 euros or so this month, and it's a brazilian channel with low CPM.

    Another potential idea: selling this to coaches/running groups/etc who wanna show it to all their runners.

    Although for that you'd probably need to make it rewatchable.

    re: DietBacon

    First, thanks so much for the feedback - and to you to Chief - I really appreciate it.

    Do you have the data on how many views I would need to make up the $1,200 invested in the project? I had heard that you needed tens of thousands of YouTube views. The Lunge Matrix video only has 34k views over the past two years. Core X has 166k over 4.5 years. Thanks in advance for your insights.

    Sales are trickling in and as I said earlier in the thread, I think over the course of two years it will have been worth Tom's time and effort, as well as mine.

    In terms of paying coaches royalties, I think the accounting may be harder with YouTube. Now I can download and .csv and filter it and write the checks. Pretty easy.

    Again, thanks for the feedback.

    I purchased the videos and have watched them a couple of times already. Great product and definitely worth it. I was not able to attend the clinic in Boulder and having these videos is the next best thing. Thanks Coach Johnson for all the work you put in to this as well as your other videos on youtube. Look forward to more content in the future.

    As for writing, it can be hard. It takes time and practice. I know this from watching my wife, who IS a writer, write every morning. She gets up and writes 60 to 100 minutes fist thing with her coffee. In that time she produces between 1,000 and 2,000 words (depending on the project). On the rare days she does not produce new content, she edits/re-writes sections. This comes out to 400 to 450k words a year.

    So your 1,200 in 2 hours is pretty close to her output. I think the reason she would say it's not hard for her is because she does it every day. While she writes, I run. She also runs, but she doesn't know the beauty of an easy 10 miler. That's because she doesn't run every day. She likes it, but it's not the easiest thing for her. She dabbles. She runs 5k's from time to time. But it is not her pursuit.

    This is not to say writing should be your (or Tom's) pursuit. Just don't write it off too quickly:)

    I'm still considering the videos. But I'm not a coach. Just a guy who likes to read and run.

    Oldschoollearning: Thinking of you this morning as I clean up a transcription of John O'Malley's interview from the Coaching Runners podcast. I have a suspicion that you don't listen to podcasts, and for that reason, I'd love to send you the transcripts. I'm sharing it with my Fundamentals Education Course members today, then in a few weeks it will be public. Please email me if you'd like a copy of it now. I don't have the resources to transcribe all of the podcasts at this time, but perhaps in the future.

    Finally, I have to write roughly 12,000 words in the next 10 days prios to the Boulder Running Clinics to make sure I've got things covered for my newsletter (Thursdays) and the Fundamentals Education Course emails (Sundays). Thought of you this morning as well as you said 1,200 words in 2 hours is about what your wife writes.

    Again, email me if you're willing as I'd like to correspond and this thread does not seem like the appropriate place to do so.

    Thanks!

    This is awesome for self-coached runners!
