Fellow Winston-Salem blogger Esbee has hit the mainstream by being Piedmont Parent’s first blogger. I haven’t talked to her so I don’t know if this is a paid gig, but either way she’s now part of the hated MSM (mainstream media). Lucky for us she’s going to keep up her personal blog.
Personally I’m holding out for the really big time, waiting on an offer from one of the big MSM players. My first choice would be the membership newsletter for the undertakers’ association; I think my sensibilities are perfect for their publication.
Congrats Esbee.

Thanks, Jon. 🙂
I have a friend who used to write for a solid waste disposal industry newsletter.
Hey, there are worse lots in life. I actually spent about 12 years marketing newsletters for small publishing companies, and eventually I started my own publishing company. I launched two newsletters with these absolutely captivating titles/subjects: Relationship Marketing Report, and, Business-to-Business Sales & Marketing Report. The first one was about how companies could market to their current customers (vs. acquiring new customers) but you’d be amazed how many people looking for dating services contacted me. The second wasn’t exciting but it sure was descriptive. In fact we never bothered with the 50 word description for the re-sellers to use.
Some of the titles I worked on for other people:
You & the Law
Guide to Federal Funding in Education
Guide to Federal Funding for State & Local Governments
Guide to Federal Funding in the Arts (I think four people subscribed)
Letter of Credit Update (had no idea what it was about)
The best was a newsletter aimed at professional secretaries. I don’t remember the title, but this was in the mid-90s and I was amazed that people still had secretaries. I knew some people who had “administrative assistants” but I’d never heard, before or since, someone describe their job as “personal secretary” or “professional secretary”. I used to ask if I could do research on starting a newsletter for professional typists or typing pool managers.
