[txt] Bloggers want my steak baguette - Michael Parsons on timesonline.com
If you've got a friend who thinks they can make money with their blog, get them to read this piece. Like all people who rise to the top of their profession, it demonstrates a simple truth: good bloggers work like dogs. You can't expect readers to show up unless you show up. And the internet never closes. So Arrington is at his desk in his house about ten minutes after he wakes up. Then he writes all day. Then he goes out to Silicon Valley parties to schmooze. Then he comes home and does it all again the following day. He reckons he has worked every day for the last two years on his blog. Every successful blogger I've come across is the same. Eat, sleep and drink the work. No time out, no holidays – in Arrington's case, 16 hours a day, seven days a week.
