What I’ve Written & Done Elsewhere

I put most of my personal thoughts and experiences on this website. However, I’ve also written plenty & created projects elsewhere on the Internet. If you’re curious, here’s what I’d recommend.

Other Personal Projects

I do a lot of side projects. I love playing around with new products & experiences on the Internet. Many are embarrassing, some are promising, occasionally one is successful – but are incredible learning experiences. Here are the ones that I still own & sort of pay attention to.

Other Work Projects

For work, I run Shivar Consulting (currently incorporated as ShivarWeb LLC) where I provide marketing consulting to a few clients, but spend the bulk of my time as a “digital property developer” – buying & refurbishing websites & apps to either operate myself or sell to investors.

Websites Under Development

Right now, I have 8 content-focused websites under development. Details are spared until they grow a bit larger.

ShivarWeb (sold!)

ShivarWeb is a marketing education website where I help(ed) DIYers and freelancers do marketing with better tools, tactics and strategy. It started as my old web design business and transitioned into a general information website supported by advertising partners. I sold it in August 2021 and am no longer associated with it. I still highly recommend it because I sold it to a buyer who knew how to run it better than I could.

Bamboo Chalupa (on pause)

Bamboo Chalupa is a marketing podcast that I do with Brett Snyder of Knucklepuck Media. I love the podcast format, but have never been able to do it really well until (hopefully) now. It’s the marketing podcast that I wished existed when I was breaking into the industry. Here’s my favorite episodes –
