What did I know about Blogging? Nothing.
That's right, folks. I'm starting out from scratch. Sure, I had a "blog" on MySpace, where I wrote down lots of stories that I remembered from "the old days". I must remind myself to save them before they're irretrievable. As if! they're practically gone right now - it takes an hour just to get past the horrible ads there.
So as a result of becoming annoyed at PayPal for revoking my account, mad at MySpace for making it too hard to even reach my pages, and becoming disillusioned with the whole "you can earn $15 if you write this type of an article for us!" on Yahoo, I've decided to go my own way.
Stumbling through this process, I've already had my AdSense account denied, clicked too many times on my own blog, and had occasional computer freeze-ups due to the impossible amount of traffic on cable service here. As soon as everyone returns home from their jobs they all jump on the Net, sucking the life out of my connectivity.
Nevertheless, I shall persevere. I've got my Customer Service and Enterprise Outpost pages up, and thanks to Reddit, it looks like I might have something going on. Enterprise Outpost has already hit 222 reads, only a half a day since I publicized it.
That's not bad for a first try. I know my all-time high for readership was something on the order of 20,000 views in a day, which worked out to a grand total of about $50 bucks. Whoopee! *snort* I think not.
In creating these pages, I hope to offer some smarts, some fun, and hopefully, a full-time career. For that I pray, let me tell you! I'd much rather be tapping away at my keyboard in my pajamas than having to commute to a job where I'm under-appreciated and underpaid.
So stay tuned. You never know what might happen. In the process I'll give you all a blow-by-blow account of how it all blossoms or ditches.
