Hey everyone! I mentioned this in another post, but I’m planning to start a blog focused on the insights I’ve gained from running and managing a record store over the past few years. I’m looking for some inspiration on topics that would appeal to both customers and potential employers who might consider hiring me for freelance work. I’m thinking of doing deep dives into various bands’ discographies or ranking the sound quality of different stereo component brands. Do you have any other suggestions that could make my blog stand out? Thanks a ton!
