It’s the middle of the afternoon and I am about the make my 4th blog post. Although to be fair I probably won’t make many more today, if any as I will be out all this evening and so won’t get a chance until after midnight. Unless I got to DEC-10 in which case I will probably end up blogging. But what is ironic is that yesterday I thought, right, I’m not going to blog tomorrow. Yet by the time I had gone to bed I had already blogged twice!
Anyway, so yeah, getting down to the post content. I’ve been thinking recently, that perhaps the way forward at least for the foreseeable future is application development with Particle Soft. In recent years, while I’ve worked on it, my main focus has always been running sites and communities and attempting to generate revenue that way.
While being in content has generated me some revenue, I have put a lot of effort in and the return given that amount of effort has not been great. Also maintaining content sites is more of a long haul, do a little everyday type thing. While I have managed this with things like daily celeb news sites, with application development it is something you can just not do for weeks and then attack like crazy for a week when you are really fired up about it which suites me well.
So perhaps I would be better focusing a lot more attention on Particle Soft rather than focusing on my content sites and see where that leads. I do have a business model for it which while it hasn’t really been implemented, has been somewhat developed (I half half a customer system written on the site, it still needs a lot more work but the foundations are there). Although I wasn’t planning in implementing the business model until the scripts were more popular which I think is the next step, bringing more attention to the scripts.
I think given I already have four products out there, one almost ready to release and many others in various stages of development it is something I am going to have to give serious thought to.
