Comments on: Empowerment Workshop http://knysnachamber.com/archives/12 Looking for practical, everyday, grassroots solutions Wed, 06 Apr 2011 10:33:43 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: admin http://knysnachamber.com/archives/12/comment-page-1#comment-20 admin Thu, 09 Oct 2008 14:03:02 +0000 http://knysnachamber.com/index.php/2008/05/09/empowerment-workshop/#comment-20 We are showing people how to make themselves useful on the internet and how to set up and run small micro businesses. For example where do you find a complete list of service providers in the Knysna area and if you are new to town how do you tap into the 'word of mouth' network that is the way everyone does business in this town? Our idea is to set up fifteen different blogs like www.tasteofknysna.com where each one is run by a different person who addresses a different sector of service directory it will become. This where the sum of the bits will add up to a whole but where the bits are independently owned and more importantly motivated. Its so easy to do and if its successful there will be all sorts of spins not to mention a very good excuse to formalise the set up of the Chamber of Commerce which we as a "community" so desperately need. How do you get involved? Just ask and keep pestering me. We are showing people how to make themselves useful on the internet and how to set up and run small micro businesses.
