Resilient as ever, I decided to jump back on the self employment horse and get stuck in. The last week has been quite intense. I’ve been spreading the word that I’m back and Ive been blown away with the support. It’s like I never left! It blows my mind, how supportive the community is in Ireland. Everyone just seems to look out for one another and pick each other up when we fall. Its a really refreshing!

So whats coming next?

Well I’m back doing freelance web development, SEO and social media engagement.  I’m actively looking for new and exciting projects. Let me know if you have something in mind. Email hello@jasonroe.me or give me a call on +353 (0)1 485 36 49

I’m also planning a BTW meetup for the end of the month. Peter suggested that it could be the one year anniversary. I haven’t been keeping track as I just do them for fun. An anniversary BTW sounds way better anyway Keep an eye out over the next week as ill be posting up the details. I’m trying to sort out the venue at the moment. The date is provisionally Thursday the 29th July.

A few of us are exploring the idea of running an event for freelancers. The idea is to create an event where people can meet up and chat to other freelancers and self employed people. Its always great to make new connections and find new people to collaborate with. Dena has suggested that we show the lemonade movie. “Lemonade is an inspirational film about 16 advertising professionals who lost their jobs and found their calling, encouraging people to listen to that little voice inside their head that asks, “What if?”” Check it out.

We have a lot of work to get done with the IIA. I hope to get a lot more hands on within the organisation over the next few months.

I’m also exploring the feasibility of a new business. Its strange how you start to get inspired by simple ideas like Dublin Milkman. Before you ask, no I’m not getting into milk. Louise (my better half) is being really supportive and is making sure the plan is rock solid. At the moment, shes the the one and only stake holder. That kind of support is worth more than any cash lump sum!

So that’s all for now. Normal service Resumes.

What is BTW?

BTW stands for Blogger – Twitter – Whatever .. The first BTW meet-up was held on November 2008. The aim of the meet-up is to open up our “niche web community” to a wider audience. BTW is an informal gather of people who are interested in (but not limited to) bloging, social media and the web. There is no agenda or rules .. people turn up, enjoy themselves and meet new faces.

Ok so this is a bit of an experiment. We had a lot of people from Cork who couldn’t come to BTW Dublin yesterday. I absolutely feckin love Cork, so we decided to bring BTW to them.

So here is the deal. We will be doing a BTW meet-up in cork on Saturday 25th April. The venue is still to be decided. It’s a Saturday instead of a Thursday so that some of the Dublin peoples can come down. No flying Ryanair!!!

I will need a bit of help on the ground down there, so let me know if you are interested in arranging a venue. I have put another order in for badges!!

For the moment if you are interested please register below.
