I posted on here a while back about branching out a little. I have been practicing business law for 10+ years and feel a little burned out, especially concerning the billable hour grind. I have a game plan of sorts for my office that I need to put into action. In that regard, I have let the chaos of family/life/work slow me down.
However, one productive thing I have done was start a new website. Long story short, a web developer got on my nerves after over-promising and under-delivering on a plan for my office. I got annoyed and decided to teach myself how to build a website. I already know some SEO tricks from doing some content writing on the side last year (I quit after they asked me to sign a non-compete). So I bought a domain, researched keywords, and launched a website unrelated to my practice. The site looks good, I publish articles about twice a week, sometimes more, and it's slowly but surely starting to rank on some good keywords. I am not making a dime yet, but I see the potential for affiliate and ad revenue if it grows.
The point of this post is:
1. To document my journey for fun and accountability. I hope to talk a little more about my marketing efforts with my brick-and-mortar business and the website's progress; and
2. To engage with y'all as I continue my Fastlane journey, hopefully learning some things as I go.
I am happy to share some of the lessons I've been learning along the way, if anyone is interested.
