Blog Fame, Here I Come
Apr 19
This is not a sponsored post. Â I am receiving no monetary compensation for it. Â I’m writing it simply because I want to.
A couple of weeks ago I was contacted by the awesome folks over at MagnetsOnTheCheap with the most amazing, wonderful beautiful offer in the whole wide world.
Let me back up. Â I wrote my first blog post on August 5, 2010 over at WordPress(dot)com. Â I wrote a few more and soon I was hooked, checking my stats daily as my following ever-so-slowly grew. Â Then I bought my domain name and officially “owned” kimpugliano.com. Â Then I made the bravest move ever and moved over to WordPress(dot)org, giving me more creative freedom and leaving me with a few items I still can’t figure out. Â I also discovered social networking and started expanding my viewing and following market. Â And then I started linking up (yes, I started with “and.” Â Get over it). Â THEN, I started getting blog ‘jobs,’ reviewing books or writing sponsored blogs, so now I’m a filthy rich blogger who makes a little extra cash now and again.
Next came the email from MagnetsOnTheCheap, also affiliated with SignsOnTheCheap and BannersOnTheCheap. Â With their free offer I am about to be the most popular blogger in my little city. Â Sure, everyone will recognize my car and yeah I’m always going to have to look my best, but it’s all worth it in the end, when I gain more followers. Â Everyone is about to know my name and how to pronounce it and where they can see what I’m writing. Â They’ll also know that I look good in green and I have the best-looking dog in the entire world, with the prettiest nails. Â Have you figured out yet what I got on my doorstep two days ago?
Yup, that’s right, a car magnet! Â There’s one on the other side too! Â HELLO FAME!! Â Oh my gosh, I can already imagine the subscribers pouring in! Â Everywhere I go people will see my magnet and be like, “What is this G is Silent business? Â I think I’ll check out www.kimpugliano.com to see what it’s all about.” Â And then they will come here and read my humor and my snarkiness and my sad sadness and my angry anger and all the stories about me running with the pups and how stupid so many people are.
One day I’ll be stopped at a light and my window will be down and I’ll be on the way to drop off Noah at school so the pups will be in the car and the person in the car next to me will yell out, “Hi Allie! Â Hi Luke!” and then they will ask me, “How’s Hot Joe?” and I will know I made it.
So your car is like a refrigerator because is is full of coolness and it has magnets on the outside?
I never thought of it like that…YES!
Nice one, Oma.
Love it! Except now you need to be careful about flipping or cutting anyone off, because they can find you!
I’ve already started working on that. Phew! It’s hard!
Yeah that’s right, my wife is famous.
First famous for my hot husband and now this.
That. IS. AWESOME! Nicely done, sister wife. Nicely done.
Thank you. I’m dong it for us.
Now you can get a car magnate that says you are my favorite (famous, elder) niece whose name begins with “K” ! WELL DONE !!!
U.C.
Next on my agenda. With big picture of you.
Oh my goodness, oh my goodness!! What a hoot, Kim! I hope this gets you the best parking spaces.
Heehee, right?!?!
I want one that says “Mom of kimpugliano.com”
You would.
I’ve been starting sentences with “And” and “But” and such for a couple of years now. Using fragments, too. It’s liberating. Go for it.
Not that you aren’t already, but now you’ll have to be careful where you park, too.
I’m totally going to throw grammar out the window. Woohoo!!!!
AND I totally plan on always being friendly and parking in a prominent spot.
I can’t do it!!! I have to keep my grammar intact!
You DO NOT have that on your car! OHMYGOD You’re so awesome…
Both sides. How jealous are you?
I love love love that, Kimberly!!!!!!! I want one.
I am envious as hell <3 Xxxx
Be careful when you throw it out the window because now it’ll be easy for someone to report you for littering… they won’t even have to get your license plate number.
Do you think you can get me one for my shopping cart? I swear it gets over 1,000 miles a month. That way you’ll grow your East Coast following, too.
Hi! I came to see your post from a email I received from the same company! I love your magnet and I think I would love to be ‘famous’ also! Cute post! Love your humor!
Undeniably believe that which you said. Your favourite reason seemed to be on the net the simplest thing to
have in mind of. I say to you, I definitely get irked
whilst other people think about issues that they just do
not realize about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and outlined out the entire thing with
no need side effect , other folks can take a signal. Will likely be again to get more.
Thank you
Wow THAT makes no sense. Spam rules.
Hey, they contacted me too. I wasn’t sure about the whole car magnet thing, can’t that ruin your paint? Not sure if I want a bunch of Melmac Dishes on my car door. But the dog on the door I could live with.
Totally paint safe. I LOVE mine because it’s got my pup on it with her pink toenails and she’s usually IN the car so they notice more. I don’t know if it’s driven any traffic to my site but I hope it will someday.
I have got 1 suggestion for your blog site. It appears like right now there are a number of cascading stylesheet troubles while opening a number of webpages inside google chrome and firefox. It is operating fine in internet explorer. Probably you can double check this.
