It's painful when you're a publisher, you want a to meet a deadline, and you're barely skimming by due to circumstances out of your control. Every second seems to count and you have to stop and format the article.

That's extra steps you had to take to prep an article that could\'ve been avoided. And when you begin to add all of those articles up that equals a lot of wasted time.

It's bound to happen...

At some point you're going to stop and say to yourself, "I wish these articles were already formatted for me so that I don\'t have to waste so much time on a lot of unnecessary extra work. If each writer could only take the time out to do this for me imagine how much more I could get done."

Let's face it...

You against all of those articles -- you don't stand a chance. After awhile it starts to seriously impair on your time. And it's a well known fact that time is money.

Yes, there are those times you get lucky and run across one or two formatted articles. But one or two against thousands barely makes a dent.

On top of that you have to also acquire the article. And that's not always an easy thing to do.

You see an article you want to publish, you fight with your email program for a minute, and then when everything's settled you send an email to an autoresponder and wait for the autoresponder to spit the article back to you.

And boy, some of those autoresponders sure are slowwwwwww.

But let's look at some other scenarios:

1) You spend time writing the author to request permission to use the article. You wait for an answer that is most likely going to be yes and then you get the article.

Isn't it strange? Sometimes yes can be an annoying answer because it makes your task of writing the author for permission rather pointless. I mean how many times does the writer say actually no? Very rarely if at all.

2) You do a little wrist and mouse work, fight with a web page a little, and copy the article directly from a web page.

3) Etc etc.

Article upon article + send email to autoresponder + response delay + unformatted articles...

Chaching!!!

That adds up to a lot of wasted time and a lot of irritation.

That's when it starts to get really painful. When it starts leading to a multitude of a lot of unnecessary work.

After all of that if you make Scrooge look like Santa Claus who can blame you? Anyone in your situation would be saying Bahumbug.

It should be a lot easier. What makes the situation so bad is that it is really unnecessary. There should be no absolute reason why you have such a large workload. It's a problem that seems to exist for no absolute reason at all.

Actually I should say, It WAS a problem. It's not a problem anymore...
