More opinion solicitation
I think one of the things I'm going to need is a Platform. :-/ This is not something in my "strengths" column.
So, I've got some questions and opinions I need y'all to generate:
The base of the platform is rather obviously going to be the web. Do I;
1. Stay with the "Gluten Free Goes Vintage" and work on promoting it (and a more frequent posting schedule.
As Tiffany pointed out, this has the disadvantage that part of what I'm trying to sell/promote is ME - and there isn't an "identity" inherent in this blog theme. As Shauna Ahern is "The Gluten-Fre Girl" and there are also "Brave Tart" and "the Tartelette" - this has the potential to be an issue.
So if I do this, I need to sort of work an additional personal identity into the mix, somehow. Ideas?
2. Set up an additional blog space and theme it to pitch more of a "persona" based piece.
In which case, I need some help with new blog theme and persona.
I'm going to throw out some brainstorming concepts and hope you'llshoot some down apply some logic to the sorting process as well as throw out your own ideas at me.
Concept list:
Apron Strings and Fairy Wings (which might be awfully close to the "Flying Aprons" bakery - also GF as well as vegan)
Sentimental Sugar
In Pearls and Apron
Mixie Pearl (complete with straw hat, maybe? Maybe not)
The Polkadot Princess
The Polkadot Pixie
Polkadots'n'Pearls
If strong visuals come to you associated with any of these, please share those, too.
3. Teaching classes is always considered a plus. But WHERE? Where would expect to go if you were in search of classes on gluten-free baking?
4. I need a vintage kitchen to shoot photos in. Thoughts? I know of at least one at a kitchen design store. Do you think those sorts of places would allow a photo shoot? (Or several?) What if I let the staff eat the goodies after pictures? :-D
*help*
