Lately I have been spending a lot of time on my new pet project. In December I launched Fluplan.com. Last year I began to hear a lot the bird flu in the news. All of the information I found was focused on the doom-and-gloom. I wanted to find out the real facts of the matter. I spend a lot of time researching about the H5N1 avian bird flu virus.

I put together a nice little report on the subject. I saw other web sites out there selling similar information for $15 to $25. I just couldn’t bring myself to profit from information of this type. Fear is a purchase motivator, but I didn’t think it was ethical to make money from people who were afraid of dying from the virus. So I dedided to offer the report for free instead.

In addition to the report I have been spending a lot of time maintaining a free newsletter on the topic. I have receive a lot of great comments from people who appreciate the free information and the good suggestions I have provided.

It has been a rewarding experience (emotionally, not financially!)
