Arrggh! The Internet - Gotta Love it - hate it - love it - hate it… Love it!.
As you can tell from my opening statement, I have been having some technical issues with our internet connection.
Although it can be frustrating when your internet connection is unstable, slow or broken, it’s not the end of the world.
It may appear that I have not been doing anything of late because of the lack of activity on my blog but the fact is I have been busy in the background of my work from home business when not online.
I have used my off-line time to develop more niche ideas, write articles for my niche sites and blogs, create content pages and websites, and more recently helping my 18 year old daugher get a niche site of her own developed so she can sell her hand made jewellery online.
In essence it is a niche site about hand crafted jewellery. It’s been slow going because she is so new to the idea of creating a niche site and she has a lot to learn about using html page templates, silo structure, writing articles, creating a newsletter, affiliate marketing to supplement her physical sales, and SEO.
We started with a silo niche site idea but she found this too confusing to begin with so we changed the platform to a static wordpress blog. She is somewhat familiar with blogging as she covered a unit of blogging in her iCreate course at school where the students set up a personal blogger blog as a project.
She is a lot more comfortable with this concept and is beginning to get over her barriers to writing articles for her site.
You can check out Mimzy’s Maiden NZ Jewellery Site here. She hasn’t uploaded any of her own products yet but she is working on content and such daily.
This can be a lesson for your work from home newbies, developing your niche sites is as much offline work as online. If for some reason you are without online access for a time due to technical issues, you don’t have to be stumbled by it.
Use the time wisely and do whatever you can offline so when you do get back up and running you can upload all your work and have more or less instant internet real estate.
