What Do 1000 Blog Posts Get You?

In our case, it got us a waiting list.

Today’s post is #1000 on The Daily Blur, and our overnight success started back in 1995 when I started writing advertising campaigns. Ten years later, in 2005, I dabbled in Typepad and tried to build a little marketing consulting practice rooted in Midwestern values.

When people ask me about my secret, I say I have two:

1) Work really hard.

2) Work with really smart, really fun, really hard-working people who share your values. (That applies to both co-workers and clients.)

There are no shortcuts.

So, about this waiting list…

After growing our client list by sixty percent and our staff by fifty percent this year, we’ve decided to take a break from accepting new clients until 2015.

We’re going to focus on helping our existing clients.

We’re going to finish the second book.

We’re going to develop an absurdly fun project to launch in 2015.

Still want us to help? Great news!

Here are five ways we can still help you:

1. Read The Daily Blur every weekday. If you haven’t already, sign up to receive it in your inbox. When you do, we’ll give you a free eBook about Shareworthy Customer Service.

2. Follow our favorite videos, articles, and stuffs from around the web on our Facebook page.

3. Hire one of us to speak at your event. We’ll deliver a keynote, conduct a workshop, or lead a professional development day.

4. Buy our first book.

5. If you’re a really smart, really fun, really hard-working company determined to make 2015 your best and most fun year yet, contact us to chat.

So, yes, The Daily Blur will still be here every weekday for another 1000 posts and beyond, and we’re still going to be thinking new thoughts, testing out new theories, and looking at the world a little differently.

We hope you’ll continue to find it—and us—helpful.

Thanks for reading.
