Have you noticed how tough most geeks make it for themselves? I mean they create an acronym for stuff that just doesn’t neeed an acronym just to confuse the F**K out of non-geeks. They create NEW technology just cos its a cool idea to create a new technology, and they write the most tedious and boring BLOGs you’ll ever find.
They have no mates in the real world, and they are doing a mighty fine job of having no mates on-line either.
However, the best geeks in the world have really started to break down some barriers with giving more people access to geek technology.
What follows is my 7 most useful and easy ways that being a Fit Geek is attainable by everyone.
1. Starting a BLOG is so easy. If you can type you can BLOG. Blogger.com is the easiest BLOG system to use, WordPress is slightly tougher… but the WordPress system is getting easy to use and has more fancy features. Start blogging today.
2. Getting a COOL website is not difficult. Don’t try to do it yourself cos that is boring and geeky! Hire a developer, Elance.com, RentaCoder.com, ScriptLance.com, Guru.com. All these options are easy to use… Elance is probably the easiest!
3. Do you TWIT? A lot of people just don’t get twitter.com. it is a simple little program that allows you to tell people what you are doing in 140 characters or less. People start to follow you, you can follow people too to see what they are saying… When you have something important to say, such as “My cool new wesite is built, check out www.mywebsite.com blah blah blah” you’ll have instantly a few people who will take a look
4. Online video has become THE big thing in the last few years, creating a video has become accessible to EVERYONE. Buy a Flip cam, they are cheap, so EASY to use, and you can create and upload a fitness video to Youtube.com in about 10 minutes without any techie/geekie knowledge. Then Twitter and BLOG about it
5. Creating a weekly fitness radio show for iTunes is easy. Set up an account with AudioGenerator, ring a phone line and talk. 3 minutes after you finish the call, you’ll have a link to download the MP3 file… upload to your iTunes account… Then Twitter and BLOGĀ about it

6. Create a Bootcamp without ever needing a website!!! Use MeetUp.com to tell people about your group. I just a search for groups in the country of Luxembourg… do you know what came up top? “Luxembourg Mac Users Group” how sad is that, but they have 61 members who meetup!!!! Oh yes when you have created your event on there… BLOG and Twitter

7. Don’t Panic! In the words of the ultimate geek book “The hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy”. Technology has become SOOO easy to use that we can all become geeks (but not like the picture at the top, I promise). If you don’t know how to do something ask a nice friendly geek, there are plenty of us out there in cyberspace!!
