Sorry I Fail @ Blogging [v. life update]
Haven’t really had too much to write about in the internets arena. I’ve been really focused on some offline stuff and projects for clients. Here is a random spattering of what’s been going on:
- I’ve utterly neglected that lead generation site that I was going to focus on… it’s making a tiny bit of money but I really need to put some time in on it.
- I had a project for a client that should have been really easy go horribly awry. Look for a post soon about profiling clients. Ugh don’t even want to type about it right now.
- I’m buying an office (close on Monday) and getting serious my web design / computer service biz. Setting up a new LLC, hired a friend of mine already to handle the on site service. I’m also bringing my dad in to handle the offline markting and some sales.
- I’m messing with trixbox and am going to set up the VoIP stuff at the office myself. YTCracker has handled all the asterix/voip jazz for all our prior projects… I’m looking forward to getting a handle on it personally.
- I am going back to school part time…. 2 Economics classes on T/TR. Fun but man I really don’t have room in my schedule for them right now.
- I’m working on a bunch of offline marketing stuff for my church. My first billboard campaign is going live this week. It should really make a splash in the community :-x. Also just redid their web site and launched it last week…. definitely been busy
A lot of people seem surprised that I’m focusing on contract/client stuff right now. My mini take on that is that I feel like a lot of stuff I make money from online doesn’t provide any real value to anyone and I’m getting kind of sick of working from my basement by myself. I hope that the office and b&m business will help me become more social. I also hope that hiring employees using other people (client)’s money will allow me to develop a talented local staff without having to do too much trial and error out of my pocket.
Even though its a big switch from the affiliate marketing/ppc/blah crap I started this blog to cover I’ll probably still blog about my endeavors for whomever cares.
