Web Entrepreneur Pages
Welcome to the Web Entrepreneur Journey!
All posts and the archived articles dating back to when I began publishing in 1999. At first, the web help pages were guides for online newbies, but this has evolved into those who wish to earn income, especially from p.o.d. businesses like Zazzle.
I have found that most avenues for making money from blogging or content writing have become a struggle, if not virtually dried up. Social media influencing replaced those. Now, Social Media Influencers are finding their own challenges; which is the way of online opportunities - always changing.
In ensuing years, social media has changed so radically that I have presently switced much of my creativity efforts to things like my Zazzle design business. Social media and writing is also funneled towards this endeavor.
Video from a Dead End
I once was something of an "early adopter", and this video is one that I made while experimenting with Periscope when it first came out. I had high hopes for it, but it was awkward for me to translate into my new directions.
Eight years ago, blogging was winding down and video was rising in importance for creators. I took what was to be a "short break" (to improve my grasp of the technologies), and unfortunately did not return to video creation.
Now, I am once again firing up blogging and aiming to create video again. In the process of this I have come across some great tutorials and will include those resources in posts for this topic.
