The whys and hows?

So the signs are there. You think your starting to get ahead in life when suddenly your car purr turns to a roar and you feel that you could get better brake traction if you went at it Fred Flintstone style. I only need two dependable cars 8 months out of the year, but without fail in those eight months things will go wrong. Such are the choices of the loot gods.

How to write for the internet

The question has been raised on how to blog or provide columns. Its really quite simple

Start by saying who you are and where your at. That way everyone knows that your going to own them in the face and this is the place to be.

Example. Hello schmucks and sucka this is Drudger and your at the Countdown to thirty Blog.

Secondly get to topic. Find a subject get an opinion stick by it even if you write yourself into a corner.

Example: Sure dolphins look cute but they would stab us all in the back if they had a chance to get out of the water. Fortunately we have a large enough population of Octopi which everyone knows are the security force of the seas. God help us however if the Octopi revolt.

Third find a regular schtick and make it a regular portion of your columns.

Example: THE THIRD EYE – The third eye sees much trouble in the coming weeks for our constituents in the southern hemisphere.

See it doesn’t even have to make sense.

Fourth, Post a real life “insider” message to someone who may or may not actually exist.

Example: Yo Luke, you know how I said she never would? Well I was right.

This establishes that the poster is too cool to really be blogging. Even though heavens knows that as soon as he posts he will be glued to the screen constantly refreshing and hoping for a comment.

Finally, Sign off. Here you can link other peoples work and end with your signature catch phrase.

Example: Hey if your bored check out (link) and (link) great stuff from both of those guys. Well im out folks keep hitting the bricks. ~The caramel apple.

Boom! You are now an official internet writer. Oh and when in doubt pseudo plagiarize.

Happy Thursday
