BLOGGER’S ROLE? IT DEPENDS ON . . . ?

March 5, 2024 by David Gillaspie

The blogger’s role depends on context. And money. If someone offered you $25,000 per post, and they give suggestions? Come on, you’d listen, I’d listen. Who wouldn’t listen? But who would start writing?

MORE FOOD? IT’S NOT A QUESTION

February 12, 2024 by David Gillaspie

There’s more food on the table. Have another plate. If it’s Super Bowl Sunday you’ll ruin your team’s chances if you don’t gorge yourself. The barbecued little sausages won’t eat themselves. Grab a toothpick. Homemade Buffalo wings? Right there.

BRANDED BLOGGER: WHO IS ON BRAND

January 28, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Every branded blogger works their site like a farmer. They prep the page, sew the seeds (words,) and irrigate. But the best branded bloggers do more than irrigate. They irritate. It goes like this:

LIFETIME MISTAKE TO CHANGE?

November 10, 2023 by David Gillaspie

September 19, 2023 by David Gillaspie

YOUR LAND, MY LAND, OUR LAND

August 3, 2023 by David Gillaspie
