I've been thinking about what this blog would be like if Eric were writing it. First of all, it would be a lot funnier as evidenced by the last post. It would also have cost a lot more money. I am doing this very low tech. I write my posts in a word document on my almost three year old laptop, then transfer them to blogger, a free service. My tech support and editing are provided by my husband who charges a very reasonable fee. Nothing.
Eric would have first had to buy a new computer. Clearly his old computer would not have been up to the task, he would need the latest and greatest, preferably Mac, with all the bells and whistles.
Then he would have needed to go back to school and get a degree in web design and/or blogging.
After that he would have to hire a web designer, because he would have other things to do with his time and would need someone else on it full time.
He would have had to buy a domain name.
Next he would have hired a consultant on content. Only the most unique topic would do, something that everyone would want to read.
Then would come the editor and creative team to help craft the perfect piece on the perfect content.
There would have to be pollsters and market researchers, and possibly a patent attorney if he came up with something truly different.
Finally there would be the PR and Marketing teams to get the blog out there.
Eventually that would lead to the clothing line and the movie and Eric would need a whole host of other people for that.
Eric never did anything halfway, and he always hired the best.
It’s a good thing this blog is mine and not his; otherwise I’d never be able to afford it.
