There are occasions when you want to make some pages about something that is very short lived. It could be a special offer, an event or something of the sort.<\/p>\n
For examples of how this can be used to get your message to more people, read on..
\n
\nPerhaps your message is about something that has no relevance to your main subject and you don’t want the two associated. A free blog can give you the opportunity to promote something that has no place in your main website.<\/p>\n
In this case it is not important that the website lasts. You can make a blog for the duration, and delete it when it’s no longer useful.<\/p>\n
Let’s say you live in a community that has an annual fair. This is the year you’re going all-out to raise some money for the local youth centre (I’m English – that is the correct spelling!)<\/em>.<\/p>\n You decide to set up a stall selling lovely egg cosies knitted and donated by every member of the family and all the friends and neighbours you can rope in to the scheme.<\/p>\n You want a basic site that shows people how to make the cosies, where to get the materials, how the non-knitters can help by unravelling old woollies to get more yarn. AND – You want the punters to know where you will be on the annual fair-ground too. Well you’re not about to buy a domain for a six-week wonder. Might be a total flop anyway.<\/p>\n Solution? A free website…<\/strong> You can send people to that website whether or not they are on Facebook and twitter. A free advert in the local corner shop, and the local rag (newspaper, church magazine) just sends everyone to the website. Bingo!!! All the more for the Lucky Local Youth Centre!<\/p>\n Substitute your temporary event or promotion in the example above and you have the bones of a new free advertising blog – especially useful if your audience is Social Media Shy.<\/p>\n
\nThey will need to know where to bring their finished creations and you want some pictures of the progress to build up to the event.<\/p>\n\n
\nMaybe you can even persuade them to buy online…<\/p>\n
\nBrilliant!<\/span><\/p>\n
\nYou know, an awful lot of energetic do-gooders wouldn’t dream of ‘wasting their time’ on the social networks:)<\/p>\n
\nThere, they find Knitting patterns – the works.<\/p>\nAnd you don’t have to PAY.<\/h3>\n
