As a means of instilling some discipline into my writing aspirations I have started a blog. No, not this blog - another one with stories about my life and which you can find on my profile. The idea is that, knowing that people are actually reading something I write, I will be inspired to write more, thereby honing my craft.
But here's the problem. Blogs are absolutely addictive and servicing this addiction takes up a great deal of time. Time which is then not spent on writing things for which one might actually get paid. I hear its possible to make some money out of blogging by welcoming advertisers onto your site and that its possible to get sponsorship. All very exciting except that I need to drum up an audience before I can approach potential sponsors.
So in the next few days you should start seeing all sorts of links and buttons appearing on this page as I try to drive traffic to this site. I'll include a statcounter so you can see how I do and would welcome any opinions about the point at which I could be considered popular enough to actually make any money out of this site.
And tell your friends! Help feed my family!
