Business and Blogging :: Thinking Home Business | Practical Tips For People Who Work From Home

Just over a year ago I signed on with the b5media network to establish and host a new blog about business and blogging. It’s been an interesting and often challenging experience, posting five days a week or so, about business blogging primarily and also about other social media. Last Friday, August 31, I wrote my farewell post as the site’s host – see Moving Right Along. Soon there will be a new blogger hosting the site.

With some time and attention now freed up for other things, including blogging, one of my intentions is to post more regularly here on Thinking Home Business.

And my continuing preoccupation with the business application and implications of blogging and social media/Web 2.0, will certainly be reflected in what I post here.

I want to write more, too, about my observations and experiences on the whole subject of professionals working from home, which is a growing and – from where I sit – an unstoppable trend. What should people think about and look for when they are “taking the plunge” into working from a home base? Whether that is an assisted plunge or entirely voluntary. What are some of the pitfalls? Some of the benefits?

That, I think, gives me plenty to write about. But before I get too far along the track, I would appreciate some input, from you, dear reader, on what topics interest you more than others, in terms of what does and doesn’t appear here.

The question then, that I would like to put to you is: What Topics Would You Like this Blog to Focus On?

If you would like to contribute your view, there are three ways I can think of immediately for you to do that, any or all of which you are welcome to use. They are:

the simple poll in the sidebar – it’s multiple choice so you can check as few or as many as you wish
the comments field on this post
email me at deswalsh(at)gmail(dot)com

I look forward to hearing from you. Have Your Say!

In the meantime, watch this space. In the next day or so I will be reporting on, not one, but two contests with excellent prizes.

Since last year, as well as posting here I’ve been hosting the Business and Blogging site I set up as part of the Business Channel on b5media.

I’m moving on from that, so there is a position going as host of the site.

I posted about it at Business and Blogging.

This is what b5media have said about the person they are looking for to fill the position:

We’re seeking a blogger to take over Business and Blogging. He or she should be an experienced blogger and familiar with the way the blogosphere works, how blogs can help businesses, and what businesses need to do to get the most from blogs and blogging. The ideal candidate is willing to grow Business and Blogging even further and is looking to expand his or her network, learn a lot, have fun, and make some money.

There is an online application form.

Pass it along.
