No, I am not giving up my business — instead, I am changing my business model to be much more tightly focused. Over the past year I have been taking on additional responsibilities without being compensated adequately for my work. This can only go on for so long before the poorhouse becomes my next destination. Therefore, it was time for a critical self evaluation of my work and an update of my business model. Some of my recently implemented changes include:

Selling Off Assets

I sold two of my sites, the Corporate Flight Attendant Community and Credit Card Venue recently to two different buyers. The first site was my oldest one, an authority site for business flight attendants while the second site is a credit card/personal finance resource center.

Closing Down Blogs

I shut the lights on my four Blogspot blogs to narrow my focus to blogging here as well as blogging on The Auto Writer. They haven’t been deleted as there is some good stuff contained in each one. Maintaining each one was the biggest drag on my time and the main reason why they had to go.

Developing New Sites

DebtQuit is my newest venture, a small site that will be focused on debt solutions. I plan on keeping it as part of my portfolio while developing similar sites for sale. I am also keeping my eyes open to find sites that need to be rescued, refurbished, and flipped.

Reduced Writing Time For Customers

I am keeping my writing projects to a minimum, being very selective which customers I take on. If there isn’t a fit, I won’t take the job. I will no longer be bogged down my projects that ultimately subtract from my business model.

This Too Shall Change

I am a firm believer in putting everything on the table — this site and JetEmployment will remain with me, but then again if something new comes up that interests me, then even those sites are fair game.

In all, I am not about to let the grass grow under my feet, so additional changes are not only possible but likely.
