Work at Home Community

When you write web site content and design your pages, do you truly act with your target audience in mind? Or do you think global and act local?

I am amazed at the number of web sites I see that claim to target a global market, yet design and write their content for a regionally-specific audience. Not sure what I mean? Take the site I saw yesterday, for example. I won’t embarrass the site owners by pointing to the specific domain, but let’s just say the site is based in the U.S. and sells high quality gold chains throughout North America, Europe and Australia.

Working at home and schooling at home are two identifiable trends of the emerging North American Christian culture in the new millennium, perhaps for similar reasons. The school at home families want more control over the doctrines and the environment that their children are subjected to while the work at home families want to divest from companies with highly questionable business ethics. This raises some serious questions for the future of Christ’s faithful. Is the Christian retreat to the hermitage of home life an abandonment of the evangelistic duty (Mt 28:19) of the Church? Is the scholastic sequestering of our children going to shortchange their communication skills with the modern and still highly secular world? The way to handle these problems can be found in the Holy Bible. Jesus’ prayer for us in the garden of Gethsemane was that we should not be removed from the world but that we should be one so that the world would know that the Father sent Jesus out of love for us (Jn 17:16-23). He also prayed at that time that although He called us out of the world we are no more belong to the world than He does, which is where we gain our understanding that we are to be in the world with out being of the world.

Businesses that want to sell something in the market need 2 things. The first is the product to be sold which has to be made then distributed to places like the grocery, the mall or the supermarket. The second is marketing which is the vehicle to carry that message across to the consumer so that people are aware of its existence then it is purchased.

It sounds like an amazing concept. Think of all the time you could save by having your article submitted to hundreds of article directories, all with the push of a button. Your name and brand would be all over the internet. Your link popularity will shoot through the roof. All these things would add up to bring your site droves of traffic which would in turn cause your sales to rise. With these goals in mind I attempted some of these services, but came up short in satisfaction.

Have you ever been laid low with flu or indeed any other disease or ailment? Yeah sure you have. It never feels very good and it certainly feels very limiting at the time. However it may surprise you to know that it is these exact situations where you are struggling that present to you a real opportunity to improve your life. Yes, really!
