A Visit To The Shoeplex

written by John Chow on July 15th, 2008

During my last day at the Top Affiliate Challenge, I had a chance to take a ride in Shoemoney’s Hummer and visit his new office. A lot readers on Shoe’s blog has been asking for photos or videos of the new Shoeplex and I’m happy to say I am the first to get it.

The Shoemoney office reminded me a lot of my old office. I used to operated out of a commercial space. However, after my landlord kicked me out because he thought I was a drug dealer, I decided to set my new office back home and has never looked back. Shoe on the other hand, is trying his luck at looking like a “normal” business by moving to a commercial location.

Since the office is only a few blocks from Shoe’s house, we also stop by the Shoemoney home to check out the famous Shoemoney pool. Enjoy!

Not entirely sure why you’re rolling your eyes. There’s nothing wrong with having a pool like that.

The pool is indeed awesome. I don’t think I’d want to have an office outside of my home though.

The office looks like a dungeon, where’s the artwork on the walls?

Shoe probably doesn’t spend much time at that office anyways. I wouldn’t either if I could manage my site from the deck by my pool. :razz:

Maybe it would be too distracting? It might be easier to work within a place that looks like this.

Nice office! I don’t know why you would need a commercial space though other than the fact that he’s just making too much money :)

PaulB said on July 16th, 2008 at 1:55 am

I’ve been working from my own office for over a year now and love it. It’s great to be able to seperate home time from work time, I guess it’s not so important if you’ve got a huge house but that’s not an option for me.

John, don’t you get distracted at home? The whole reason I went the way of an office was because after a year of working at home I was struggling to concentrate on doing the work?

Is it the distraction from your family or more from the fact that you are used to relaxing at home?

I know of some other bloggers that have their own offices. I can see why they’d want it like this.

The office is a bit messy needs a bit of redecoration. The pool is great thou. That is exactly what some hundred thousands $ could buy. :twisted:

I agree with you on the office being kind of messy,i hated the sight of all those cables hanging around everywhere please get a cable tray to arrange the cables or get an electrician to fix it.Shoemoney need to put up some artworks on his office walls,you can contact me for that.I love the swimming pool especially with the heat we are experiencing in NY now it would be a welcome relief to dip oneself in a swimming pool.I like the spacious compound too.

Jeremy definitely needs some plants in his office. Having the back office is a good idea, I have to remember that when I get my own.

Thanks for the tour!

Weird isnt it?

You moved home because your landlord thought you were dealing drugs, and shoemoney moved out because his neighbors thought he was dealing drugs?

Thats crazy.

At least neither one of them ended up on Cops, though I’m sure that would have resulted in some interesting blog posts!

Two thoughts re video - 1) did you have a bbq at the shoeplex before you left nebraska and 2) are there going to be John Chow t-shirts?

And I didn’t know you got kicked out because your landlord thought you were a drug dealer! WTF

Cool office. I’m actually happy I don’t have one and just work from home. I was looking at some recently to help with my productivity but decided against it. I’m going to stick with myself as my only employee and outsource. If I need employees I will just let them telecommute. It’s not like anyone from the outside needs to contact me or I have to impress anyone. I will keep the cool office in my house.
