I ran an online magazine. I'd consider it a modest success. It was worthwhile and engaging for a while, but I realized how little time I had to devote to it, so I sold it. I am a writer by profession so I always imagined something like that would be an absolute dream come true - but to be perfectly honest, it was just okay. There's more to me than the ability to regurgitate a press release in pretty language (which is basically what I was doing), and I wanted to give that side a chance to shine.
Right now I'm in the midst of opening a copywriting firm. I am so fond of picking apart grammatical and spelling errors that I thought I may as well make some money doing it. I'm going to be writing copy for web sites, company products, business plans, brochures, press releases, and perhaps more. This is no frills business writing, which is fine with me. I don't have to be fancy with it, but it's certainly more fulfilling than what I was doing with the magazine.
