Spareground the Sellsumer!

Time is flying under my nose and I’ve just realised that it’s nearly three weeks since I last crunched bone on keyboard to write a blog entry.
As well as the upsurge in interest following the write up on springwise.com in March, this month sees Spareground mentioned in www.trendwatching.com as one of a few named ‘Sellsumers’. (A phrase to describe enterprises or businesses that help people make money instead of spending it!...not sure who coined that phrase though).
Spareground nicely fits under the category of “Space” alongside other UK web-based Sellsumers such as ParkAtMyHouse, YourParkingSpace and some US entries as Homstie and Roomorama.
Once again, this has reflected enormously in the site hits and hopefully will continue the increase in momentum.
Coverage such as this goes a long way in encouraging people and businesses to consider how they can maximise their space. A large number of people either have (or are looking for), storage space, driveways, garages, parking spaces, empty land or empty garden space, or other types of property they can lease or rent to someone else.
Or of course, let someone use it for free or for a charity donation.
Many people are looking for potential allotment space, camping space, cheaper and easier parking options, accommodation for short term rental such as when near a major sports or music event.
It goes on and I am aware I probably sound like a broken record but it makes so much sense to use what we do already have! All for our own benefit too!

Progress is still being made to take Spareground overseas and there are some exciting prospects in the offing.

Time is pushed as the moment with keeping the drive on Spareground and continuing with my other work (a consultant patent searcher offering a range of patent search services just in case you were interested……..*wakey wakey at the back*) but I hope to update this blog a bit more often than three week intervals…....must do better.

Some good rugby matches on over this weekend and of course next Tuesday is the announcement of the British and Irish Lions Rugby Squad. Can’t wait!
