Introducing Broomeshtick
While Write for Your Life has been Write for Your Life since Write for Your Life began, I’ve meddled and muddled along with my personal site for some time.
Partly to learn about WordPress and other platforms and partly because the traffic was always low enough to experiment, it never had a permanent home.
Until now.
Introducing Broomeshtick
In this episode I officially launch broomeshtick.com, what I’m calling an online museum for writers, plus things I’ve made and done. That means it features links, images and information for writers interspersed with updates on my own writing.
I’ve been posting to Broomeshtick regularly for the last couple of months and there’s some great stuff on there already.
While Write for Your Life provides lengthy articles and in-depth chit-chat about writing, Broomeshtick is my own personal commentary on the publishing industry and what it means to be a writer.
And things are going well. People are subscribing in numbers and the traffic is pretty good. So, I urge you, head over to Broomeshtick now and either subscribe to the RSS feed or pop it in your bookmarks.
I like to think it’s the sort of place you can stop by and hang out every couple of days, just to see what’s going on.
Websites for writers is for sale!
After more than a year of showcasing the great and good of online resources for writers, I’ve decided to sell my other website, Websites for writers.
The reason is simple. I want to devote more time to my own writing and to expanding Write for Your Life, with its upcoming (and mildly exciting) membership scheme.
I’m biased, of course, but I actually think that Websites for writers is a great opportunity for someone. The site’s received more than 180,000 page views and, as I explain in the video clip, was receiving hundreds of visits a day before I slowed up with the posting.
That’s a reasonable amount of traffic that you can probably put to much better use than I have. If you want to make a few pounds or dollars, you probably can with a bit of hard work and intuition.
I’m not looking (and don’t expect) to make a fortune, so if you think you might be interested in purchasing the site, watch the clip and feel free to get in touch.
Technostuff
I’m still looking for a quick, cheap and viable solution for providing transcripts to these videos. If you have any ideas, or if you’d like to volunteer to transcribe an episode, do get in touch. So yes, transcript on its way.
