Self-Help is Stupid.

So, remember that picture I put at the end of my last post? The teaser that was supposed to make you "tune in next week" to see what all the commotion was about? Well, prepare to be let down, because I'm feeling just like that woman with a big ol' question mark popping straight out of my mind. You see, I followed the link "What Should You Blog About?" in hopes of finding a list of interesting topics or ideas that I could incorporate into a colorful and creative blog filled with ingenuity and insight, only to find complete verbage. I literally sat through the most unnecessarily loquacious and unhelpful answers to the following questions:

1. What kinds of topics/subject should I write about?
This one actually made the suggestion of using Google as a launching pad. I felt used and slightly violated.

2. Should I only write on one topic, or many?
The author reminds me here that I have "freedom of speech" while blogging, but I should always keep in mind my target audience. Focusing too lightly on a certain topic might isolate my readers, and as such, shouldn't be done. This blog is about my followers, not me, remember?

3. Can I change my topic anytime I want?
Once again, I don't want to lose readers because I change my center of attention. So if I chose a topic like, oh say, "What Should I Blog About?", I'm stuck. Sweet.

4. Which topics are better for making money?
Wow, really? So it's all about making money. Now I'm not opposed to making money, per se, but if I wanted to piss off my readers by flooding my page with Google Ads, I would start using...Google Ads.

Besides, the author doesn't even address the main question. At no point are any topics mentioned; however, he reassures me by advising me to a 10 minute break before continuing on to "What Should I Blog About [Part 2]". I took the liberty of indulgence and am currently taking an indefinite break from the entire website.

Conclusion: What have I learned? That taking time out of my day to research topics is stupid and a waste of my time. Stay tuned for later developments.

P.S. I've officially switched back to my beloved search engine.
Screw you, Jeeves.
