So you’ve spent plenty of time thinking of an idea, setting up and preparing your new website and now you’re ready for the world to visit. The problem is that the world probably doesn’t know it exists. Getting the word out to the masses and attracting visitors to your website is the next step in the process.
I’m afraid you won’t get any information from me on how to get quality visitors to your site overnight. That’s something I’ve never mastered or even put too much effort into. Instead I go for a slower, steadier approach to building quality traffic and sometimes don’t see any results for months.

Experience The Location Independent Lifestyle From The Comfort Of Your Own Home

Around this time last year, our daily life looked something like this…awake to glorious South African sunshine, head out to the beach for a run and some meditation, head home to shower, stroll to the local organic cafe for a breakfast of home-made bread, scrambled eggs & steaming hot frothy coffee – and sit there for a few hours doing some work on the wireless connection from the internet cafe just up the road.
Today, it’s somewhat different as we await the birth of our baby girl back in the UK, living in our “old” house and seriously getting stuck into our business, in preparation for the arrival of the little madam (although I can’t wait to get back on the road again when she’s strong enough).
Before we came back here, I worried about not walking the walk as well as talking the talk, especially since there are so many people out there on the net who write about stuff they’ve never managed to do themselves – so I worried whether people would question the fact that we’re not currently in some fabulously exotic location.
Of course, I’ve realised now that I was being stupid and irrational (it’s the pregnancy hormones). For all intents and purposes we are still location independent – because if it weren’t for the small (large) matter of the bump, we could indeed go anywhere we choose and run our business from there too.
And that’s what I’ve come to realise more and more about the concept of location independent living – it isn’t just about the travel or living in an exotic location far away – you can experience some of the key aspects of the location independent lifestyle from the comfort of your own home…

Location Independent Project Update
Over the past week there have been so many exciting developments at Location Independent HQ, it’s been hard to keep up and those of you on the Priority Updates list will hopefully forgive me for not sending out multiple emails to let you know about each and every one of them.
Instead, I’d like to use a weekend post to start sharing what’s new, what’s been happening and what’s coming up around the Location Independent project – as well as highlighting our growing range of products & services which will hopefully form the cornerstone of this project as a successful commercial project.
So here’s a brief round-up of what’s happened this past week…
