I know I haven't been posting much stuff in the past few months. There are some issues I had to deal with.
One of the
last items I wrote was about a meeting with other website publishers in Nashville, Tennessee. That meeting took place in the first week of this month, and all went well.
I mentioned that the website publishing industry is changing. A lot had to do with cookies and spyware programs. One thing is for certain, this business is going to get tougher in the years ahead. My sense is that after the new year, it's going to get particularly more tough. I can't give you specifics, but that's my sense, knowing that a lot of advertisers and advertising networks prefer to use January 1 as a day to implement new policies.
One of my closest colleagues in the website publishing business has seemingly thrown in towel, after repeated bouts of frustration over dwindling income, and unstability in this industry. He's not giving up completely, but he's looking to dump some of his websites, and start over small again. I wish him well.
As for myself, I made the decision press on, and take things to a higher level. At the bottom of this webpage, you might have noticed the "Inc." after my business name. Having incorporated, I hope to position this new business to get bigger at a more faster pace.
This business is website publishing. It's much like a magazine publisher, which publishes several magazines, and earns an income from selling advertising space. Except, I focus on websites. You can click on "Clear Digital Media, Inc." and see the network of websites I publish. I actually have many more than what is listed there, they just don't earn any revenue right now. But I will be working on that.
You should expect to see much more blog material getting published on DoggieNews.com. I didn't intend to leave it for dead. I just needed to get other things in order.
