After a period of months of fairly robust blogging, I’ve sputtered out in the past few weeks. I’m in another period of transition, changing around my blogs, my schedule and trying to get my work organized. Here’s something of an update…
First let me spell out my goal; the big picture. I’m trying to get to the point where I am financially independent through my creative work. I’d like to be able to move my family anyplace we want to live and have enough financial abundance to keep everyone I love happy and healthy.
So, here’s what I’ve been up to.
1) Thinking
The main thing that’s really slowed me down is trying to think through exactly what I need to do and trying to come up with a plan so I can do it.
2) Expanding
I’m trying to push my content far and wide, which means not just here on the Stranahan site. So for instance, I’ve been publishing my stuff on The Huffington Post, 236, DailyKos and Talking Points Memo. Lots of good reasons to spread your work as wide as possible especially when you’re trying to build your name recognition.
3) Organizing
One thing that I’ll go into more detail about later is my organization system that helps me keep track of what I need to do and makes it easy for me to do it, so it actually gets done.
4) Twittering
One thing I’ve done is expanded my reach through things like Twitter, the ‘micro-blogging’ platform. Things I post on Twitter get more immediate views than things I blog, actually. Twittering has slowed my blogging way down and it seems like I’m not the only who’s experienced this.
