Some snow somewhere recently. Pic courtesy of Guardian newspaper.

And so it has snowed, well at least down here in good old Essex. I predict the headlines to soon be full of stories about ungritted roads, old ladies falling over, and Councils down to their last cellar of salt. Expect the word “chaos” to be bandied about with abandon and expect poor puns. For the heroic authorities who do make a good job of road gritting: “Council Grit and Bear it”. For the ones who don’t: “Out of Salts”.
And on tv at the end of the news there will be those charming snow-themed user submitted photo montages of our whitened landscape and frollicking mitten shod children. Bah, humbug!

If, like me, you can’t face decades more of a nine to five existence then this site is for you.

In these pages I plan to share my experiences in trying to generate my own income. I’m eager to hear from others who feel they can contribute.

My personal areas of interest seem to revolve around communications. So, I’m interested in the following areas:

• Web design – technologies, outsource or DIY
• Film making – make a short movie, commercial video
• Self publishing – how to publish your own book
• Online selling – product marketing, dropshipping, ebay, amazon etc.
• Search engine optimisation – content management, tips

I’d be grateful for any expert help in getting some quality content on these topics. Send me a mail from the contact page if you can help.

My personal journey into self employment has only just begun. And I’ve started with the simplest business I could think of: leaflet distribution. Currently I’m attempting to market this at a local level in my home town.

I hope more and more services become available as I develop expertise in other areas.
