Ranting Away

The hardest part of writing online adverts isn't what I'd expected it to be.

It's not the writing of adverts that is kicking my butt. Usually they almost write themselves. ( Hold your comments here folks-- they are getting what they are paying for.)

No, what's making me rack my brains is trying to come up with fresh original content at a minimum of every other post for the non-advert posts.

One would think that it would be rather easy to just pick something and blather on about it for a couple paragraphs and call it a post and believe me, in the past month I've visited probably a hundred blogs and lots of people are writing about nothing. These people are not necessarily bad writers, they just have "random" ramblings about whatever pops into their heads.

Can I just say one thing? If I read that someone is writing about their " random ramblings" I'm going to immediately click to a new page, I don't care how highly touted the blog is. If you cannot come up with something more original to call your blog than Fluffy's Random Ramblings  then I don't want to read whatever else you've got to say.

Next rant I'll tell you why I would like to hunt down have some really strong words with the originator of the phrase "mommy blog."

It's is kinda lame but I've heard much worse. ;)

I used to work with a columnist who titled his ramblings "Thoughts While Shaving." It's pretty lame and highlights the fact that you've got nothing to say. Not a good way to attract and retain an audience.
