		<description>Hi Zara, nice to hear from you.

I did used to work in a call centre but I do think with this and with what I have read from others doing the same thing, you don&#039;t really need to &quot;sell&quot; this.  Just get the word out that the service is there and people will come to you.

I have a couple of ideas for doing that, more on that another time.

I have already found that I just get asked for help anyway.. for instance in my sons school where I have chatted with parents from time to time and the question of what do you do comes up I have just said, I work from home in IM and leave it at that.

Later I have had parents who have small businesses come up to me saying, &quot;your Jon&#039;s Mum, you work with computers don&#039;t you, I could use some help with...&quot; so the grapevine works very well LOL.

My first step is in fact building a website for a school parent - I am not going to charge this guy but have already said I would like some kind of testimony from him later, so that way I hope to have something to show people when I do start getting the word out more actively.

Zara this is a good way for us to earn an income for those of us in the UK particularly, I already have reseller hosting which because of the exchange rate does not cost much at all per month, I can upload WP for free as you probably know and can have lots of domains on my reseller account.  

Tons of ways I can utilize those things, perhaps someone will just pay me for hosting for instance or a package of domain name registration, website build with hosting and SEO, what have I actually paid out for? My hosting account, as I said, that&#039;s cheap for me here in the UK and paying for the domain name, also not expensive.. so ummm, you do the math LOL perhaps you should consider the same thing :)

Again, its a win/win for the business and for me, they get a good website WITH traffic at a far cheaper cost than they would pay before and I get an income (some of that residual).

Thanks

		<description>Hi Sue
I know what you mean about the divide in knowledge, comming from the other side of the Bristol channel.

I guess if you are good enough at selling an idea - that idea being as simple as getting a website, you&#039;d make your cash in the south west in no time.</description>

		<description>Thanks Jacob for your comments.  Keeping everything online is probably going to benefit those marketers who would tell you that LOL - I say, nothing wrong with doing a bit of both - certainly I could not attempt what I will now without the experience I have picked up - good and bad - in the last couple of years online but I will put more of my efforts now into offline for another reason not mentioned in my article, &quot;my competition&quot; online I am competing with some fantastic marketers, offline, ummm pretty much nobody except for the odd &quot;high priced&quot; website building agency.

In my area it seems that businesses have not had much choice in the matter, had to pay those prices if they want a website and often pay a lot &quot;Just&quot; for a website little realizing it&#039;s not getting any traffic and the website just becomes a financial burden for them.  I hope to give them a bit of choice now both in what they get and price.

Glad you liked the article John and yep, see you at Adland.
