Shameless Self-Promotion

Business at my “real job” has been a little – no – very slow here lately so I have had time and have felt the necessity to work and focus more on some of my side stuff.

For several years I have thinking about and laying the groundwork for the day that I could quit the rat-race and make a living doing things that I really like. I mean, who wouldn’t love to be able to turn their hobbies into income-producing businesses?

There are a lot of things that I like to do, but I have narrowed the list down to those that seem most feasible for business ventures. I must add that I am particularly interested in Internet marketing and all of my ventures lend themselves well to that.

I have heard it said that it is best to find one thing that you do well and focus on that. I have always found that difficult to do – I’m interested in too many things. The neat thing is that now, with the Internet, it’s possible for someone such as myself, with limited means and broad interests, to start and run an on-line business (or businesses).

Well, here’s a list of my endeavors.

• Classical Guitar – Offering private and group lessons and on-line tips and resources. Web site – guitarskool.com
• Writing and Editing – Copywriting and editing services and online grammar tips. Web site – thegrammarmeister.com (coming soon)
• Computing, Web Development and WordPress Deployment – zencomputing.biz (coming soon)
• General Foolishness – Booshink.com (you’re here, baby)
• Alternative Living – plumnearly.com (coming soon)
• Internet and Network Marketing – thecandleplan.com and all of the above

There you have it – Booshink Enterprises!

All of the domains mentioned above are mine, bought and paid for, and I intend to create sites for each of them (some I have already, obviously).

Necessity is the mother of invention (please excuse the cliche) they say and necessity is forcing me to begin work and the promotion of myself and my sites in earnest. That being said, may I add that if you haven’t noticed may I point out to you that I am affiliated with several companies and that I feature ads over there in the sidebar occasionally promoting same. Those aren’t there just to make the site look better – I’m trying to earn a little revenue thereby. I sell books, art prints, posters and t-shirts through these affiliates and would appreciate it if you would remember me the next time you’re in the market for such items – or, heck, just go over there now and click on some of them (they won’t bite) and check things out. Of course you can also just give out of the goodness of your heart and to further the cause.

Well, that’s about it for now. Thanks for visiting and come back often.
