Wow! I am amazed how long it has been since a blog update! Shows what a busy schedule and being a new parent does for you, not that I would change anything but hey, I have missed a lot of blog time! There has been an awful lot happening over the last few months (nearly a year!) and it’s almost impossible to even start beginning a blog discussion on these.
In terms of us here at Spareground towers, we have gone a bit quiet but we have not gone away. There are two of us who do this site solely in our spare time, both of us also hold down full time jobs and have a very busy family life. In any case, we are still here doing things in the background and planning and scheming all sorts of things to make this site get more coverage and appeal and better to use all the time.
One of our aims is to make sure we make people know about this website in time for the Olympics. We already have a lot of London listings now for accommodation and parking and we aim to target the Olympics specifically so users can just rent out their property, parking garages etc for this time. Of course, we all know it is not just London who will benefit from the Olympics in 2012, there are a host of other events happening throughout the country and no doubt a lot of our visitors to these shores may stay on and extend their holiday time.
The upcoming Royal Wedding is also an event that those living in and around London may benefit from. Only this morning on BBC, there was a discussion of how Londoners could make money by renting out their property for the marriage of Prince William and Kate Middleton, no reason why those who own parking spaces couldn’t do likewise!
We have been approached by a few magazines and newspapers over the last week or so about how users can use the site to make themselves some extra cash so keep an eye out for those.
Finally if any of you have some Spareground success stories then we would love to know about them. We’d love to build a success story portfolio that we can use to share with the media and if you would like to be part of that, whether as a known or an anonymous user then do let us know.
In the meantime, keep spreading the word! We’ve been around a good while before David Cameron came up with his Big Society idea,…perhaps I ought to let him know we have a group of people here already making the most of what they have!
