Sinus Headaches and Giving it Away for Free
Whatever pressure system is going through my area is giving me a sinus headache. One of those headaches where you kind of wish your head would explode because it would be such a relief.
I’ve been writing and talking to people in the blogosphere to get more information on financial writing. It always makes me feel so backward and weird when I hear others talking about having problems with the marketing but they have no problem finding the outlets.
I’m like a big gun waiting to fire but I don’t have a target.
So, when that happens, I just start marketing and figure the outlets will come later.
This time I’m starting in a place where I don’t know anyone already. Okay, Fussypants is an acquaintence…of sorts…on Twitter, but I don’t know her like I know, say, eMom. Which isn’t much better, but I’ve at least met Wendy in person, so that counts for a step up on the social ladder.
But I do know that Fussy is smart, and she went through some drama a while back and I thought she handled it very well, so I have respect for her in that, “Ooh, I saw your drama get aired in public” kind of way.
So I’ve been wanting to write more about finances without turning this blog into finance central all the time, plus I kind dig Fussy…One plus one equals two, right?
I’m the newest contributor for Financial Bliss (over at Blissfully Domestic) which, I hear, got changed last night to Frugal Bliss. If I had a vote (I totally didn’t) I would have named the section Blissful Wealth. But, you know, that’s just me.
I even get a cute little badge to show off my membership and contribution to the new clique.
Now that I put it in the post, it’s not really a little badge, huh? Oh well, it will look good hanging out in the sidebar with all my other “Flair” – are there 22 pieces yet? Do you all remember Office Space well enough that the flair joke is even funny?
Ok, I’m going to crawl back into my sinus headache. You can click here to read the first post I wrote for Financial Bliss (now Frugal Bliss should be Blissful Wealth or at least Wealthy Bliss but, again, I’m a brand new contributor and have no right to do anything but provide good content and snuggle my graphic.)
Hope you enjoy the site. As far as group sites like that go, it’s one of the nicest I’ve seen. Great branding too, which makes me feel good about writing for free and putting it in my portfolio so people can see the body of financial writing I’m attempting to create.
The first post that is going up is on current events, but we’ll be talking a lot about investing with small amounts of money to start building a portfolio even if you aren’t moneybags. Because, yeah, the stock market is not just for the rich or stupid. It’s for anyone that is looking for the path that leads to true wealth. That little place at the end of The Game of Life (by Parker Brothers, right?) where you want to get your little pink care with the little pegs.
