Empowerment Workshop
We are building a database of all the businesses and services being offered in the Knysna municipal area and are looking for people who would like to get involved. We will provide you with a web site on which to build your list. We will show you how to add content and how to compile your lists. We will also show you how post features and pictures and make suggestions on added value services you can offer to turn this into a small home office businesses you can run in your spare time. All you require is access to the internet and a willingness to learn. We will show you what to do, when and we will walk you into our workshop without rushing and pressuring you .

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.
