If you follow me on Twitter, you may have noticed that I’ve been speaking a whole new language – Geek. I feel like I’ve finally established myself in the niche I was looking for the in the first place – a tech-savvy momma with an affinity for gadget porn a true love of all things Geekalicious.
A few months ago, a few good friends needed some help with their blogs. I’ve touted myself as particularly techie (what gave it away?!) and so I offered up a little help. Those same friends are very good friends, and suggested that there might just maybe be a market out there looking for help from a gal like me.
I was skeptical, but I put together a list of services and starting asking around to see who might need a little help. I got a few clients, and then a few more, and suddenly it was a real side business and my head was spinning. I got a quick business site up as fast as I could and kept pinging Twitter to see if anyone needed a hand.
By now, I realize that this might be something I can grow. A way to help with Christmas and Starbucks runs, yes, but also a chance to do what I love and love what I do. It’s been a while since I’ve had that opportunity. I bought a real domain and spent some time putting together an honest-to-goodness business website.
So do me a little teensy weensy favor. This weekend, while you drink your morning cup of coffee and watch the news, open up your web browser and hop on to Rent a Geek Mom. Take a peek around the site. Let me know what you think. Heck, if I can help you, buy a service! But honestly, I’d just love your opinion and, if you like what you see, your support.
In honor of my “grand opening,” I am participating in Kate’s Christmas Giveaway!
I am donating $150.00 worth of services to a lucky commenter. Happy Holidays! So swing on over. I can do all manner of geeky things just for you – personal blog support, redesign, blog migration, host migration, SEO optimization, new header and other graphic design elements, the whole she-bang. Tell me what you want. I bet I can help.
xoxo,
