Random Project Updates

Written on June 13, 2008 – 11:07 pm | by Jenn |

I haven’t posted to Jentrepreneur in quite some time, so I thought a good place to start would be to post an update on some of my Web-based projects:

  • I’ve stopped taking on new PR consulting work, to focus more exclusively on my PR writing and business writing.
  • I’m in the middle of the first e-book in the Web Writer’s Guide series I’m putting together, and have launched that site at WebWritersGuide.com.
  • I’m still working on a non-fiction book tying together online PR, small business, and music.
  • I’m lining up quite a few interviews with independent artists for the re-launch of AudioXposure.com (which seems to be forever “pending”).
  • I’ve gotten my small business blog (BizAmmo.com) back on track with posting. This is the site that used to be a PR6, then got slapped by Google down to a 0 because I sold text links as advertising (which I still hold as a perfectly legitimate business model). It went back up to a 2 not long ago, but it’s back to 0 again. Just posting because I’ve noticed it. I have no intention of changing how I run any of my sites for Google still - good thing I was smart enough to not rely on them for my traffic, huh? Of course it helps to have my background in PR, which makes it easier for me to build relationships with folks who are great at spreading the word via word of mouth (which I still insist is the best kind of traffic you can get - as it’s work out of your hands, so no constant SEO work, and it often results in recurring visitors).
  • I’ve also revived my book marketing blog.
  • On that note, what I’m featuring at All Book Marketing mostly right now is my progress on a novel I’m writing (in the outlining phase until the end of June). During the following month (or after a short break), I’ll be moving on to outline a second novel. I reviewed two books on my freelance writing blog a little while ago, each promising to teach you how to draft / outline a novel in 30 days - so I’m doing this to go beyond the reviews and to actually test and compare the methods more thoroughly.
  • I’m gearing up to make some changes to All Freelance Writing Writing Jobs - I’ll be changing the types of gigs I add there, changing the theme to match the main freelance writing blog, and keeping the job board on the main page so it’s always updating (with my job list posts being featured mostly through the email subscriptions - although still accessible on-site).
  • I sold two of my blogs recently to clear some of the clutter - AboutGreenLiving.com and FreePressReleaseWriting.com.
  • Naked PR is still going strong, and I did some interesting interviews recently (a feature I plan to continue in the future) with Todd Defren, Darren Rowse, Joe Beaulaurier, and Andreas Charalambous. I’m still planning a new feature addition or two over there when I have time to hash it all out - one will be a lot of fun and let me not only by my somewhat snarky self there, but also give me a chance to be a bit more creative.

As always, there’s a lot going on (and obviously I have client work on top of that), but I think that about sums up any current developments.
