Here’s a weird aside…

I like to create little businesses. Most of them are unsuccessful.

I tried to get a bit of business liability insurance, including E&O for this, but it’s proven to be somewhat difficult:

I do too many things.

I design and sell 3D printed plastic parts, write books, publish a blog, and publish software.

I’ve tried this like three times (it’s time consuming).

Last time I decided to stick with just digital assets and I put “software development” but listed my blog and books, figuring most software companies run forums, publish guides, and blog.

They declined because they don’t cover “publishers”.

I guess you need to buy insurance for each division or something.

I was just looking for some general business liability and E&O while I figure out what works.

I wrote How to Lose Money with 25-Years of Failed Businesses about some of my tries over the years.
