\"follow<\/a>Having spent some time thinking about this new blog I know that it needs to interest and include you, my reader.<\/p>\n

This is where I will share the methods that work for making a living online and the first thing to do is to establish who I am and why you can gain from following my progress.<\/p>\n

You can follow every step as I build a business from scratch starting with a blog. The aim is to build a business that I can run from a laptop – Wherever I may find myself!<\/p>\n

Why start with a blog?<\/h3>\n

The first reason is Rapport. I have learned that a website that shows people who you are, and that you are a real person, is the best way to build the kind of trust and rapport that exists in a real local shop or store. Of course, it’s not exactly the same as a chat with a customer face to face but you can emulate the trust that familiarity brings by sharing useful information, personal anecdotes and funny experiences. People can get to know you.<\/p>\n

Secondly, it’s easy to do. A simple Blog can be started right away. You need content before adding anything else. It will take quite a bit of content before the site has any substance at all, so everything more technical can be added as you go along.<\/p>\n

That content must have some value; give something to the reader – even if only the pleasure of seeing something develop. Of course I hope to give more…<\/p>\n

That’s what I shall be doing over the coming weeks. I shall share knowledge and experience that can help speed things up and the things that can get in the way. There’s always something that proves a bit of a hurdle.<\/p>\n

Sometimes it’s just good to talk about the feelings we have, the productive days and the days that just end in confusion. We all suffer from those, and sometimes it’s a whole period of time where life just gets in the way.<\/p>\n

By following the process as I build you’ll see all that. You’ll know when it’s ground to a halt and when I pull it together. By humanising the whole process, perhaps you will be encouraged to have a shot at it yourself.<\/p>\n

I have put off using my personal domain name for any project for so long now, mainly because I would complete an idea or an element without any idea how to follow through. I got stuck.<\/p>\n

And do you know, a big part of that was feeling shy! I didn’t want people to see any weaknesses, laugh at me or pull me up for getting things wrong.<\/p>\n

I forgot that everyone loves to be dealing with someone real – whatever their shortcomings, and let’s face it, there are plenty of people out there who won’t like me – just like real life. Something about me will irritate them. They don’t like the look on my face, who knows? Presumably they’ll just go away.<\/p>\n

I’ll try not to mind.<\/p>\n

I invite you now to jump on my ‘train’ and follow me as I start this journey. You can always get off – there will be plenty of stations. In fact every email is a station with the opportunity to unsubscribe so come on, give it a go!<\/p>\n
