Prolific blogging

Or newsletters as they are called now

I have a bunch of blogs going, plus my daily Tomversation cartoon site, where I use a blogging platform on WordPress, so I'm considering that a blog, too.

Why? I don't know, I come up with ideas and then there is a blog for it.

I've morphed various blogs into something else, just using the name since I own the URL. For instance I recently changed The Morning Grapevine into a blog on blogging.

What I mean is, people are always asking me about blogging, for many years I ran a very successful blog, with lots of readers and subscribers, and it made money. So after 15 years of that, I think I know a thing or two.

I've helped people set up blogs and guided them into the world of blogging. I look at blogs as the magazines of today. You know, each has its own niche and audience and there is something for everyone.

I don't now what this Tomversation blog is, I guess it's a "personal blog" tied in with my cartoons.

I've thought or writing a book on blogging, or at least a booklet, so I wanted to teste the waters. So I put a blurb on a couple of Reddit subs saying something to the effect like I described above - "I published a blog for 15 years, it was very successful, made money and had lot of readers." Something like that, but worded better.

Anyway, I got tons of responses, people asking me questions about their blogs and I thought that it might be a good idea to start a blog about blogging and The Morning Grapevine, business blog, became that blog about blogging.

I plan on having anecdotes in it, too, so as not to have it come off too boring, but I will explain how to get readers, how to decide the niche to write about, things like that. There are a few articles posted so far.

I have a message like this at the bottom of most blog articles now:

“If you’re planning to shop on Amazon, consider using this link
it supports me and keeps this blog free.”

So if you are shopping at Amazon, which I think most of us do, if you use that link, I get commission on things you order. There is no extra charge to you. And it's a little money out of Jeff Bezos' pocket, going to me.
