The Very Very ... VERY Rule
Posted by Bill John Hawkins recently wrote about something called the "The 'Very, Very' Rule Of Building Traffic For Your Blog." "Remember that you will have to be very, very, good, for a very, very, long time, while working very, very, hard to promote your work and you will be very, very, underappreciated the whole time." I'd probably add a couple of additional points to that rule, but overall, truer words have never been written. Posted by Bill at August 9, 2004 12:02 PM | TrackBack (12) CommentsTo repeat a comment I left on John's post, you don't have to be very good for very long or work very hard if you have a very, very, very good gimmick. Trust me. Posted by: Allah at August 9, 2004 12:11 PM It depends, and the gimmick can only go so far (depending on how good it is). In your case, I'm sure it scored you points, but the sustained popularity stems from the consistent quality of your jokes/photoshops. In Wonkette's case ... And though my readership wants me to spend every waking hour taking photographs of hippies, I haven't consciously settled on a theme ... too limiting, IMO. Posted by: Bill from INDC at August 9, 2004 12:19 PM Boobies. You can't go wrong with large, bulbous mammaries. Posted by: Sharp as a Marble at August 9, 2004 12:36 PM Option #4: Get yourself a server, host a hundred other bloggers, and then sneakily tie them all to your personal sitemeter. Hahaha! Oops. I didn't say that. Boobies are also good. Need to get some of those. Posted by: Pixy Misa at August 9, 2004 12:50 PM But really, if you're blogging with the aim of getting huge numbers of readers, you'd be better off running a porn site. Hey, boobies again! Posted by: Pixy Misa at August 9, 2004 12:52 PM Another thing that works is--hey, did someone mention boobies? Posted by: Beck at August 9, 2004 01:43 PM Posted by: Jeff Harrell at August 9, 2004 01:50 PM C'mon Bill! Remember how we laughed and laughed the time you photographed all those vets? One of your best. Posted by: Gordon at August 9, 2004 02:02 PM Well, I definitely agree with John. And I'm not putting up boobies anytime soon, sorry! Posted by: Athena at August 9, 2004 07:01 PM Being a black, bald Republican chick helps. And while I do indeed have boobies, I've managed to get by without having to expose them. Posted by: Juliette at August 9, 2004 07:59 PM Did I neglect to mention to everyone that I'm a black, bald Republican chick? Posted by: Bill from INDC at August 9, 2004 08:10 PM Damm, you mean I have worn out 15 refresh buttons for nothing. Guess I will have to join the ever growing crowd and post a few boobies. Damm it, where did I put that survielance pic of Juliette? It's around here somewhere! Posted by: Marc at August 9, 2004 11:06 PM New movie title: "There's Something About 'Bill.'" Posted by: Juliette at August 9, 2004 11:24 PM Damn. Now I know what it is that I've been forgetting: the very, very, very, very good part. Posted by: Jimmie at August 10, 2004 12:05 PM Allah wins. Again. Posted by: The Commissar at August 10, 2004 04:19 PM Huh? Don't follow you ... Posted by: Bill from INDC Journal at August 10, 2004 04:26 PM |
