Shameless Recycling

As some of you know, I am in need of work, and would be particularly interested in streams of income that can be done from anywhere, be that full time or near it, or a bit of this and that to help us flesh out and grow beyond “stay in food and housing.” I haven’t posted here the way I’d intended when changing things around, in part because that doesn’t inherently keep the landlord happy and FiOS on, though building that up helps toward the future. Thus all the self-promotion in the last CotC, the donation button for anyone who’s ever appreciated CotC enough to toss in a couple bucks, the embed from Deb’s Etsy shop, books for sale not previously noted here, and the link button for my computer services/support/digital coaching.

But that is not what this post is about.

The possibility of my writing business posts for hire has come up. As had the possibility of my managing a suite of business blogs. For the latter, they really preferred I move across the country, seemed managerially and philosophically very old media/non-internet, I didn’t have my blogging resume in a reasonably timeframe (it was flattering and completely unexpected), and frankly I wasn’t sure how the operation could be improved (without seeing it from the inside), apart from acting more a part of the blogosphere and adding to the suite of blogs. For the former, I hadn’t yet settled on a price and rounded up suitable posts as examples. I would presumably need that for any paid blogging.

The combination of having fretted about needing to dredge up and examine what business-related posts I’ve done over the years (I’m eclectic and that’s not a major topic for me, overall, at least not in the form I’d highlight to people), my former partner annoying me, and the desire to post something here gave me an idea. I’d been thinking I’d do some basic link posts here between CotC editions, but… since the highlight of the place is the weekly link posts, isn’t it kind of weird doing interim ones that aren’t going into CotC? On the other hand, there’s no reason some of them couldn’t also appear in CotC if the host saw them here and picked up on them. I’d also been thinking to do more serious posts, associated with or inspired by links or not, but that’s a time thing right now. I regret having not created the suite of blogs with various focuses three or four years ago, as even a slow build would have meant something by now. Regrets don’t buy diapers.

So what I am going to attempt to do is repost, edited, annotated, or unchanged, any good business (and economics, of which there are probably more) posts I dig up, without getting too carried away, here on this blog for which that is the focus. Stay tuned for that, and perhaps it will give you more reason to return between CotC editions. Not to mention building more inherent traffic that might have missed CotC. That’s more reliable in the long run than relying on links out and about, though I surely appreciate those.
