I started a second site | Bloggers Lair | Yakezie Forums

Post edited 7:53 am – December 20, 2011 by Invest It Wisely

I started a new site, "Financial God". The site is going to be a companion to Invest It Wisely, but edgier, more controversial, and focused more on economics, futureism, and government.

Story about the name: It's not meant to offend any religious readers. Actually, it started out as a joke: I was talking to my girlfriend once about some financial stuff; I think she must have been a bit peeved that day, and she started to make fun of me: "you think you know so much, you must think you're some kind of a financial god or something." and then I decided to register the name. ;) 

I let it sit until I had an idea to use this site to post news and topics that I find interesting, with a focus on free-market economics and with a Canadian angle as well.

What do you guys think? I'd love to hear your thoughts both positive and negative. I should hopefully have a logo ready for the site sometime soon.

Thanks!

Haha. I was wondering who was Financial god. I love the idea of you being even more free to be edgy. I hate the thought that you don't feel that liberty with IIW, but I do understand. I like the look of the site so far, and I'm curious what you will choose for your logo. I think this will be a good adventure.

When I saw a comment from that name, I wondered if this was a 2nd site from someone I'd be familiar with. Now I know! :) Best of luck with the new blog, I'll have to spend time there.

@LaTisha,

@The College Investor,

@retireby40,

Thanks guys! 

@Watson Inc,

Thanks Roshawn! I let out the occasional edgy post on IIW as my readers will know ;) but otherwise I try to keep it apolitical. There's some areas that I would like to explore, but IIW doesn't seem like the place as I haven't really gone there before and that's not the type of readership I have. I feel it would be too "noisy" to have everything on IIW, but having additional sites will allow me to split it up a bit better.

@Charles @ MoneyGreenLife,

Thanks for the compliments about IIW, I appreciate that. :) I hear you on the name; I like it in a way since it's also edgy, but it's also the type of name that can be polarizing and I don't want people to think I'm trying to be cocky or anything cause that's really not the kind of person that I am ;) but it has stuck for now.  I haven't yet thought of something better.

@Squirrelers,

@krantcents,

Yep! :) Thanks for the good wishes.

Sounds incredibly interesting, and definitely controversial! Sometimes those are the best blogs though. Good luck with it!

Good luck.  How will you keep up material for two sites? I have trouble with keeping one going with what I hope is decent stuff…. Edgy is good, we have enough boring PF sites…

@Super Frugalette,

Haha I like that idea. I'll have to think of something. ;)

@Derek @ Life And My Finances

I have found that the most interesting posts for me are the ones that are a bit more controversial and go a bit against the commonly-accepted grain. Obviously you don't want to enter tinfoil land, but a certain degree of controversy spices things up… or so I'm hoping. ;)

@TightFistedMiser

That is a good idea and I should probably do that, with a small about in the sidebar later.

@Dr Dean

Now you know how I've been spending my vacation. ;)

@moneycone

Thanks moneycone! I've been a pseudo-fulltime blogger for the past two days, so that's how I've been preparing up posts for next month. ;)

Congratulations on your new site. I feel the same as Super Frugalette regarding the name, but I don't see it as offensive.

I think we need more economic based articles – I wish I had time to write more about it (although, I still want to write my book)!

Just had a look – and like what I see. Good luck with it.
