Just a quick housekeeping post on the future of this blog. When I started the life assurance tax blog I said I would do a couple of posts a week for a year and reconsider whether to continue with the blog at that point. There are now 112 posts on the blog and its just over a year since I started so I decided to take stock.
My experience with the blog is that its been fine to do and I personally find it a useful aide memoire. That said the blog doesn't get that many readers and it hasn't been successful as a way of generating feed back and / or client work. So I'm going to keep the blog going and available to all but I'm afraid that the volume of posts and the average length of posts will decline, so the focus will be more on quick updates.
It did occur to me that an alternative would be to split the blog between a pay and a non pay area. Then I would have the quick updates as free to air, but to access longer pieces there would be a subscription (perhaps £1,000 a year). Obviously I could tailor the subscription section to the subscribers and maybe take requests to cover certain topics. The introduction to life tax series is something that I would expand if there was some subscription income to be had. If you would be interested in the subscription option or if you have any other thoughts on the future of the blog then please email me richard.bentley@bentleyforbesconsulting.co.uk.
