Call me Mr boss man
June 28, 2005 10:32 pm general chit chatWell thehowie.net is now a small business. It has an ABN number and is on the Business Registry and as of today it even has its own post box.
Why? you ask!
Well you see I felt guilty about getting paid by google to put up advertisements on my blog so I thought oh I should get an abn and make it all legitimate. Then after having to give away so many t-shirts I thought I should sell shirts, not just shirts that say ‘thehowie.net’ but other shirts I could design silly and fun shirts. And sell shirts. And then if I’m selling shirts and stuff that will also be helping me survive with a bit more $$$$ coming in.
And then I was talking to a buddy the other day who is a fragrance designer and he said he would help me make soaps and fragrances and stuff too that I could also sell on the Howie.net.
I could have my own fragrances “thehowie” “A fragrance for men, that brings out the inner pansy”
Or coke flavoured fragrances and soaps and stuff although probably have the say that they are ’cola’ flavoured.
so hopefully I can turn thehowie.net into a bit of an online store. And of course my blog aswell.

I hope you’re getting lots of money off those ads. I always try and click one when I visit, to support the Howie enterprise. Except I felt kind of weird going to all those Irritable bowel syndrome sites. I like the current Hair Scissors ads so much better than the poo ads.

Try not to get caught up in a cash for blog scandal. If I ever start reading blogs about how good pepsi is I’ll know something is wrong.
