Internet Business Blog

In the last three months, this blog has grown very quickly so I’ve decided to pull the plug on the news and article portion of ePursuit.net. Originally, the news and article section had been the intent of this website, but then I discovered blogging and my client list grew much quicker than I had anticipated, swallowing up most of my free time. Besides that, there are literally a million websites you can go to find internet related news and articles so why re-invent the wheel when I don’t have to?

For my loyal readers this is not a bad thing. In fact, this is a Great thing. Expect me to focus more of my time on this blog, Paul Bradish: Internet Business for the Masses. Since I will be spending more time here, 3 major things will happen:

Longer, well thought out posts

Gone are the days of quick blurbs about next to nothing. Instead of having to construct a blog entry within 20 minutes, I will now have 2 hours. You may have noticed the quality of my posts having gone up over the past week – that is by no coincidence! I’m definitely raising the bar so expect higher quality on a daily basis.

Better design

This blog has always been all about KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) – and I’ve gotten a lot of great feedback about its sharpness and ease of use, but let’s be realistic. There is always code that can be re-done and widgets or plug ins to make life easier. I will now have more time to dedicate to such design aspects and now I can finally redo the about me page.

Side projects galore

The Google Co-op search engine has been a big hit and I’d like to play around with more technology, especially anything that is web 2.0 related since that appears to be the present and future. I have many side projects on the back burner and I can now put more focus on them. This includes but is not limited to:

1. SEO Tools
Aaron Wall creates some amazing Search Engine Optimization (SEO/SEM) tools. I would love to integrate such tools on this blog as well – and think that my loyal readers and casual visitors could really benefit from such a side project.

2. Job Board
I’ve been playing with a fun and promising job board script that many other sites have been using around the blogosphere. Many bloggers do not have the luxury of writing content full time so I think that having a technology related job board could be a success if done correctly.

3. Link Directory
Link directories can be a lot of work to set up but once the hard part is done you can set them to auto pilot in many ways. I would like to set up a link directory as a side project here to possibly collect many of the greatest blogs as well as the undiscovered gems hiding in the blogosphere.

4. Social Network
I’ve always been intrigued by social networks. I would love to integrate a network into this site that can tie into the commenting system. This is highly debatable whether or not it is a feasible idea or a recipe for disaster – but I’d love to give it a shot at some point down the road.

5. Blog Store
E-Commerce is in my blood. It’s only been four months since I sold off my first e-commerce venture, and I’m already getting that ‘itch’ to go for it again. I would like to channel this energy into a web store that runs alongside this blog selling digital content (such as e-books and audio) as well as ePursuit.net coffee mugs and the like.

As you can tell, much of this is only in the earliest of concept stages and when I do a project, I tend to take my time and get it done right and see it through completion. Who’s to say what this “blogging” path will bring, but one thing’s for sure – Business is good and I love sharing what I have learned to make it this far. Couple that with the past few weeks of blogging higher quality content and networking with new friends in the blogosphere and I have been having a blast.

Just to reiterate: The ePursuit.net article and news site will no longer be updated, but the blog and side projects are still very much alive!
