Internet Revolution turns full circle
AboutMyArea, has turned the community website market upside down by being the first company to offer local residents a tried and tested community business with no initial Franchise Fee.By making AboutMyArea accessible to more people, and introducing a new franchisee vetting procedure, the aim is to find many more potential Site Editors who truly want to run their own local community website, rather than just those who can afford any initial investment.
Founder, John Taplin said “We were in the unique position of being able to make an unbelievably generous offer to people wishing to set up their own business in 2008”.
He added “Following the success of last year, most companies would have been putting their prices up – but we looked at the whole business, and decided that we wanted to make our tried and tested business model accessible to as many people as possible.”
With re-igniting community spirit its mission, AboutMyArea is the only truly national network of locally-run community websites. AboutMyArea has quickly established itself as the first choice for local people to find out what’s really happening in their area; with it’s varied and lively coverage of local news and events.
Having spent well over two years establishing itself as the UK’s leading community website operator, with in excess of 200 locally operated areas covered, AboutMyArea has set the internet world alight with possibly the most cost-effective way to start your own business in the UK.
The offer has been particularly well received by those looking to create an extra income stream, be it to off-set a potential pension shortfall, avoid been bitten by the current credit crunch, or simply to choose a more flexible way of working to fit around family life.
For individuals who seek the independence and flexibility of running their own business, the new offer is outstanding value, and opens up the doors to many who would probably never have thought they could ever run their own business. To find out more just click www.aboutmyareafranchise.co.uk
