Like Tom Sizemore says in Saving Private Ryan: "We're in business
now! Definitely!"
My little newsletter-producing outfit has suddenly
been booming in the last two months. My client base has increased by
about 70% and net profits are going to be up by...well, let's just say
up by a lot. Two years ago I was in the red and last year my net profits
were piddlin', but now I'm looking to rise above (drum roll) The
Official U.S. Poverty Level.
Why the increase? Well, I've been advertising
fairly heavily on Google and Yahoo and their affiliates. No, it's not
free, but it's been my most effective marketing campaign so far. I now
have clients in eight different states plus several here in the D.C. metro area. Right now, I have 17 clients and I have
about three or four more on the hook. I had hoped to have 20 clients by
the end of the year, but I may eclipse that number before spring hits.
And to answer the question some of my friends
will undoubtedly ask: Yes, that means I can't skip out of work at 3:00
anymore. Hello nine-hour days.
By the way, what is the poverty level?
Huh. Maybe I should find that out before I run off at the mouth... |
