So this is more a post for me to remind myself what I have to talk about and what I should be posting about, I get a few hundred visitors through here a week so if you would like to comment on what you want to hear about that would be cool, if not I will try to get to writing some interesting blog posts on these over the next few months.
Self publishing – I have written a book, 150k copies were sold at 10GBP a pop… 1,500,000GBP of revenue for marks and spencers and I made 3000GBP. I can write about this, how to avoid falling in the trap yourself and about potentially taking a foray into self publishing.
User generated content – have been running a website built on user generated content for 4 yrs. What are the pitfalls what are the benefits, what have I learnt… I should share that here.
Recording videos for the web – I run my paper airplanes site now on videos (huge numbers of my users watch them) and have gained some experience about this. Posts on it may well be a good thing to put online
The trends in online advertising – having been making money off the web in largish amounts now since 2000 (before that was tiny) some of those learnings may be really interesting for visitors… posts in this area would be cool
Cocktail making seasonality – what are the most popular ingredients searched for by month, what are the most popular months of the year, what cocktails are most popular by month of year/day of week/week of year. I run a cocktail site I have this data from 100ks visitors… might be fun to share. This could make a great PR article to drive traffic to the site.
Bubble 2.0 – I made a little money off bubble 1.0 and am now making more off bubble 2.0 this is definitely a potential story….
Database structure – I have made sooooooooooooooooo many mistakes in building databases that are just not queryable in a scalable way to do what I want. Perhaps I could share that… stories about summarizing data, caching data, structuring data, creating sensible time columns… etc…
Ah well those are all ideas. If only I could find time to post them. The life of a small webmaster eh! 😉
