Blue Skies...
Or at least in the "blue sky" phase. I'm still in brainstorming mode, trying to contemplate all the ways in which I can build my platform. I'll prune later.
Y'all are GIVING me lots of ideas. Here's how they're starting to merge.
1. I probably need to give some serious thought to acquiring a DSLR with a macro lens and just building a lightbox to use on my kitchen table. Possibly used, as those silly things are $$$$$$.
2. A video series. No, really. Starting with the basics of gluten free baking and then maybe moving on to some recipe demos. Maybe I"ll even match my top/apron to the time period of the recipe. I have the basics for this, in a Flip with a tripod and Roxio Burn. What do you think? Would you spend 5-10 minutes watching The Polkadot Princess and Geraldine (yes, my stand mixer has a name...) whip up goodies? Edited down to the essentials.
3. Adjunct graphics for entertaining. I love dinking around with GIMP. If I were to make up some clip art to decorate the table for parties, would that be a good adjunct? Cupcake wrappers, labels, cup wrappers as download-and-print .pdfs. Some free on the blog, maybe some on Etsy.
4. Product reviews - gluten free AP flours, mixes, etc. Maybe also cookbooks? Though that last might be stepping on a live mine.
