Disclaimer: That was a non-gender specific use of the term businessmen in the title. I’m not trying to step on any toes.
So there’s a ton of “to do” with the make money online niche. Given my own personal background in software and website development I seem to get much more fun out of creating a site from scratch. This leads me to ponder the question of in creating a site or piece of software for the purpose of profit, am I more of a developer of businessman? I’d say this applies to bloggers as well. Are you a journalist or money maker? This question seems ripe for the asking as more often we see people of one profession taking up residence online, in a new online company, or starting a new blog.
So “John” in development starts a blog. Is this just an method for himself and others to keep track of his progress online, or has he taken on a new interest in the literary part of it? Does he fancy himself a bit of a writer as well as coder, so he’s decided to let his writing seep into his work? Or perhaps “Fred” the guy in the cube next to “John” who since college has been a die hard developer realizes the sites he creates for CompanyXYZ have the potential of making money online through residual income methods, and decides to build and start a few sites of his own outside of the office?
Without heading too far out into left field, I’d like to say that it has become apparent to me that as a person who has studied software development in academia, and who has blogged in one arena or another for a number of years now, that people with these skills are quite dynamic any may fall into any number of “professions” or stereotypes.
Just a bit of food for thought, being as dynamic as this generation of online entrepreneurs have become, how do you view yourselves? What do you label yourself as?
