Flux Research: Clyde on Business

This Business of Blogging Relaunches on Twitter

 

I recently relaunched the far too long neglected blog, This Business of Blogging, as a Twitter stream:
twitter.com/thisbloggingbiz

It's for people interested in the business of blogging beyond chasing pageviews and Google Ad clicks.  There are lots of resources at that level but not so many at the next.

Reviving This Business of Blogging

I'm experimenting a bit with This Business of Blogging which was actually a precursor to Flux Research.  I'm mostly going to be posting small news items and then digging in when it seems appropriate.  I thought about doing those posts here but I'm realizing that some of them would be off-topic.

If it seems like I'm having trouble focusing, well, yeah.  I am!

Basically I launched All World Dance earlier this year.  It has great potential but once I started writing for Hypebot I found myself pulled between two major topics with little crossover.  I then put AWD on hold while I sorted out music-related news sources and, once I dug in deeply, I realized I could start writing more about music startups at Flux Research and eventually would be able to hold my own with anybody covering that topic that I've seen to date.

But it became clear that focusing on music startups at FR would conflict with what I'm doing at Hypebot so I had to let that go.  Though not everything I would write would be in conflict, having to second guess myself really kills my flow so I'm regrouping.

Blogging is a big part of what I do.  I've been doing it for almost 10 years and shifts in blogging as a business have greatly informed my take on web business models.

So we'll see where this next step in my blogging career will take me!
