Life of an Investor

Open letter to my fans

This is an open letter to my few adoring fans people who are too lazy to remove me from their feedreaders -

I’ve always felt like I should have some sort of website or blog, but I always struggled with keeping it updated and having enough interesting or useful information to post. My earlier sites were always very scattered, like a myspace or facebook profile. A little bit of everything, but not well organized. I then tried to split my personalities into individually themed blog sites. As examples, I created a Deal of the Day site as well as this investing site and a few others, but I would lose interest in each because nothing forced me to keep them up-to-date. If I wasn’t dealing with investing that week, then I wouldn’t have anything to post. If I didn’t do any online shopping, then I probably wasn’t going to find any deals to post. I have come to the conclusion that if I am going to have a useful, regularly updated website, then I have to find a way to force myself to work on it every week. A few of my readers may personally know me, but most of you probably don’t. I’m open to suggestions from anyone.

I am considering letting all of my previous sites go, while focusing on one new site that will consume my blogging time. My initial idea is to create a new investing site, but one that will focus strictly and only on small time stock investing. I would make a small stock purchase each week and discuss the reasoning behind it as well as other investment research. What are your thoughts? Obviously I know that for any site to succeed (have many readers), I need to have a marketing plan of some sort. “If you write it, they wont’ come”. But I figure with my portfolio available for all to view and comment on and regularly updated information, I think people will be interested in staying around. Just some thoughts.

Hello,

I looked around your site and like how it is arranged, the articles look like they are well thought out. Would you care to exchange blogroll links with a company financials website?

Thanks much !
