Some of you probably realize I write for a couple of different blogs on the b5media network. I’m currently writing on The Microsoft Weblog, Uncover the Internet, Christian Music Fan and co-blogging with Lynn (who’s an absolutely fabulous blogger!) at CSI:Fanatic.
The past couple of months have had their challenges. Most of it surrounds the word “balance”. Things are really cranking right now with the priority of the day job. I’m still managing numerous webclients on the side, and of course the blogging with b5media. I used to be blogger at Emerging Earth, Office 12 Watch and Idol Stalker as well, but things had to get cut back somewhere and those were the identified targets for a little downsizing opportunity. That’s okay though, because Mike is doing a great job over at Emerging Earth now as well as Jeanne at Idol Stalker. Office 12 Watch is going through a little rebranding and makeover with a new blogger too.
For all of that information, many of you probably have no clue who b5media is or what they do or where they came from. Our CEO and one of the original founders, Jeremy Wright, recently had this post on the Chitika blog about our history as a company.
Even at b5media, the blog network I help run, that we?ve often stumbled along a little bit. Sure, there?s a bit of a process for going from 3$ a day (where we started) to 3,000$ a day (what we?re about to reach)? but we totally ignored that process. We made a lot of mistakes. This post is designed to share a few of the lessons we learned while stumbling along in the dark. Sure we got lucky, had a fantastic team and had great timing? but we still made a crazy number of mistakes! I hope you?re able to learn something from them ;-)
Exciting times for sure, so glad to be a part of it and can’t wait to see where things continue to go and grow.
I’d love it if you stopped by one of my sites and let me know what you think. If you’ve got a website some links to my sites would be great as well. If you’ve got a blog of your own that you’d like me to check-out, or maybe a website you’d like me to “uncover” and share with the world, just let me know as well.
