The exhausted blogger
June 5th 2009 05:58
My huge following of fans, and I'd like to thank both of you, constantly asks me to write more in the way of advice for people in small business.
I have always wanted to work for myself — to be answerable to no-one and reliant on nothing except my own skills and determination and will to wrestle with procrastination and win. It's been a lifelong dream and, showing an aptitude and canny understanding for business practices, I waited until 2009 and the world's greatest economic miasma to launch my company.
After four months, however, we here at Salient Point corporate blogging services have survived. Leaders of MBA courses at the world's elite universities ring regularly to learn our secrets, and the police watch constantly, convinced that anyone prospering in this business environment must have friends in the underworld.
They are all destined for disappointment, for my success is due to honest endeavour, and I have decided to reveal the secret for that success right here, exclusively to you.
I have found that the secret to business success is hard work. By hard work, I mean that, first, one must cut back drastically on the time spent playing Freecell and, second, one must write at least eight blog posts a day.
Do you find this figure shocking? Let me tell you that I do, and as fellow bloggers I'm sure you do too. I thought a blogging services consultancy would be like writing a few fun posts for Orble except people pay you for it. Instead, and this is the hard thing to grasp, running this business is more like a full-time job.
I need a holiday.

Craziness. Pure craziness-but I believe it.

Glad you're enjoying yourself. Someday I will be able to say I can survive off of writing... perhaps not blogging... but writing... And then I'll say pretty much the exact same thing you're saying.
