26. V-logging is pretty popular

but even the simple blogs are pretty good in the home ec sort of area. A few run blogs on refashioning, offering simple instruction and pics of each step, and they do quite well for themselves. I can think of some in that area that are now guests on shows like GMA, Racheal Ray, and others. One of the women in this area actually is encouraging me to blog on more of a how-to home ec and says she'll gladly link with me and even send me some traffic with an entry about me and my blog. Adding the videos might be a way to meld the two together.

And the ghost tours-Missouri has a complicated history. There are so many old ghost stories and stories of the supernatural that I used to collect in my youth. I can name about 30 sites in my small town alone that are purportedly haunted. Add to that paranormal claims within the county (glowing headstones, a church that was purposely built crooked for some supposedly nefarious claims, Mo-Mo sigtings and a 5 mile strip of road where UFO sightings are very common and I think there would be plenty of material for a nice download-perfect for an October moonlight drive!)

Adjoining counties have mental hospitals, Civil War battlegrounds, riverboat disasters and many others. The material is there for several downloads that would appeal to teens and adventure seekers.
