Status Update
Hi guys,
I'm thinking about taking this project to the next level. A whole new website rather than just a simple blog. Image series rather than just the random images I'm doing at the minute. I'll still do random images too, but explore ideas more fully. Possibly some video, though I've not really got any ideas for that right now.
I suppose if I do go with this plan, I should work on promoting it. Other than the occasional post to Twitter, I've done zero promotional work for the blog. In fact, I kept so quiet about it that only one family member has seen it and I refused to tell her the address (she forgot it after seeing it on-screen). I wanted to see if it would grow organically without any interference. While the visitor numbers aren't spectacular, it has amazed me to see people from from all corners of the planet show up on my visitors map (I use Google Analytics for visitor tracking).
I still need to think this through properly (the idea only came to me 10 minutes ago). If anyone has any ideas, your comments are always welcome.
In other news, the 'Verge of LA' book is almost finished. I'm not sure when the website (vergeofla.com) will start updating again. I'll make a new post once the book is ready and the site is back up and running.
Cheers,
John (in the UK).
P.S. I'm going to need a new name for the blog/site if I'm going to start a new domain. 'alackofimagination.com' is available but it's too cumbersome for my liking. Any ideas?
