I enjoy your obit posts which I usually follow the links through to publications and I've tried to broaden my musical horizons after learning about the likes of Charlie Haden and countless others through IT.<br />I probably visit every couple of weeks and catch up when I have the chance. You make a lot of sense to me and the variey of topics on here is great. Adverts wouldn't bother me I don't think, considering what we have have to go through on other websites, but I've no idea how they work.<br />Thanks for everything so far and I hope your able to continue<br />StephenStephen Smithnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-413013422636027916.post-19065291653811760012017-05-29T09:06:37.993+01:002017-05-29T09:06:37.993+01:00Thanks for taking the time, Richard.

Appreciate your input...<br />MikeMichael Carlsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04490121869284175945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-413013422636027916.post-84655707629939707052017-05-23T20:19:45.894+01:002017-05-23T20:19:45.894+01:00Hi Mike,

From my point of view, it would be sad to see you shutter IT as I enjoy your voice, find your articles on film, culture and sport very informative particularly on subjects that I had maybe no more than a passing knowledge. However, I couldn’t argue that decision if you feel you aren’t getting at least a basic fulfilment out of it, never mind financial.<br />Monetization suggestions. Online ad revenue requires high volume page clicks and unique users in order to really reap any financial rewards, which is tough to drive as a one-man band and without third party network support. I’m not a fan of paywalls to be honest, they only work if your branded content is so strong and posts frequent enough as to warrant the financial subscription. I'm not saying it wouldn't work, but there's so much free content out there that it is tough to pull off.<br />I think blog based sites, like blogspot or blogger, aren’t particularly well suited to search engines so it is difficult to pick up passing traffic, unless someone is specifically directed to you or is searching for a specific topic you have written on. To me, maybe setting up your own site and registering a Carlson Sports type domain might be the way to go, but I’m sure there are more experienced folk than me that could advise better.<br />What a lot of US podcasts and writers have done is go down the Patreon channel and received ‘donations’ for their work. Not sure how that works from a UK tax position, but I hear the Cayman’s are a lovely place to podcast from this time of year. One blog that I particularly enjoy is an action film centric one called www.outlawvern.com. Again, he's a one man operation, and seems to be making it work but it's hard to know. It may be worth taking stock of what others are doing and what works and what doesn’t.<br />Based on the breadth of your career and the experiences you’ve had, there must be a memoir book in you to. A mix of Bill Bryson and Clive James! Either that or it’s finally time for a self-published ‘Pocket Essentials’ style retrospective on Sam Peckinpah. ;D <br />Whatever you decide to do, I’m in!<br />Best,<br />Richard<br />Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246384912514387133noreply@blogger.com
