Blog as a business?  Resource for clients and people.  If you have content online and want it in print, start contacting local newspapers to start writing every 2 weeks for free as long as you get your little bubble (how you can contact me, etc) at the bottom.  You can also do this vice versa where you can link your article from the newspapers to clients.

What type of writing is more long-term in media?  Social media of short bits works well to get quick information.  There will always be text, but people would rather watch a video on it than to read a couple of paragraphs.

Nuance to take audio from video and transcribe it into an article.

How about local events? School committee meetings and town halls? Who covers these anymore?  The local papers don’t cover it because of short funds and staff.  People need to be more proactive in blogging 1-2 paragraphs on these topics.

Be sure to maintain your rights to your content… don’t try and give away those rights!

Everything above applies to musicians/composers as well.  Insert record label in place of publishers for books.

Publishing a blog, then selling books if you have a big following will allow you to spread your word quickly with some profits.  You need to have a following first…

The face-to-face market speaks volumes.

Maybe posting long stories but selling condensed versions…
