Thanks, will look into this!

Don't laugh, but I've landed some consulting/side gigs (most recently an I.T. project review with a recommendations report deliverable), based on people that I've met while out socially, and also intro's from people that I know that I run into socially. However, when out socially, I never start off by selling my services, but by having regular conversations, asking them what they do, et cetera.
I also blog about interesting topics in the Caribbean (which MSM rarely touches, at least in my neck of the Caribbean woods), and I use that as a convo starter when people ask me what I do (citizen journalism personally, CTO professionally), and what background I'm from (I.T. and business/commercial roles).
Hope that helps.
Hello HN, long time lurker here, first time posting. I blog over at https://www.caribbeansignal.com
My blog covers topics that are rarely covered or looked at by MSM in the Caribbean. For example, I've been collecting and compiling murder rates and fuel prices - going back a few years - for one island (and slowly branching out to another). I've also looked at the number of KFC's per capita across the region, and also compared prices for a Zinger sandwhich across the Caribbean in USD Dollars (something similar to the Big Mac Index, helpful for PPP analysis but not conclusive as its just one item).
Recently, I've been looking at COVID-19 in the Caribbean and have a few articles up (doctors per capita, tracking confirmed cases via: https://covid19.caribbeansignal.com)
Be safe!
