People are Important Here

Community is about People and activities they perform, and so we choose to focus on People here. Browse around and find out a little more about the people you already know. Please Suggest People we should Interview – I’m always looking for people to interview and would be very happy to receive suggestions form our readers.

Whether you choose to use this service to share your news, promoting events, or look up local history you will find this website helpful in some way.This Site Map has been arranged to present most of what is on the website ordered by category and subject, its a good place to start.

I offer a free communication, advertising and promotion tool to everyone living in Glasshouse Country.

What you get for FREE

Our “Town Square” is your “Town Square”.

If you send us your news we will publish it.
If you write an editorial we will print it.
If you send us your business card we will promote it.
If you comment on the website, people will read it.

In the business world there are many organisations, and affiliations that aid networking with other business people and from these relationships – joint ventures, trades alliances and other opportunities result. We are probably the only local organization which offers our community a networking experience for free and without a commitment in time, money or travel.

All you have to do to be part of our network is to share your news and information with us, so we can share it with others.

Whilst a number of good newspapers are available for publishing your news and information, the personal “one-on-one” experience is lacking because there is no easy way to establish a “two way” relationship with your readers.

We feel that our community website offers our authors and readers an opportunity to establish one-to-one relationships with each other. Subscribers receive local news and information and business people are able to offer promotion, vouchers and discounts in our electronic newsletter.

I feel that by sharing articles news and information online, organizations and businesses are able to break through the impersonal barrier that exist in paper print and establish mutually beneficial relationships with other local readers and contributors to the Glasshouse County Community website.

Some business people recognise that when they provide quality information, which is truthful and engaging they are able to generate phone calls and links back to their own websites.

Consider the paper print world for a moment: no matter how much you paid, your news item or advertisement it will only be available for a limited time. We offer an avenue, which is FREE and has a longer “shelf life”, first in the electronic newsletter which we send out periodically and then on the website and then in internet search engines.

It’s worth mentioning that we are exclusively about People and Business in our own Glasshouse Country region, we are a “locals only” venue and we are uninterested in advertising or promoting anyone outside of our community.

So if you are still interested, consider getting involved.

How do I get involved

Tell us about it: If you write an article and offer it to the community you will increase your chance of meeting someone who feels the same way or who may need your expertise.

Want to Advertise Here?

Sure, I’d love you to advertise here with me and I will ensure you get promoted. Many companies have benefited from what I offer for free, but the simple fact is that paying me for what I do helps me promote you better, so if you are still interested here are some the marketing option I can offer you. As at 2014 my website get +600 views with equates to about 300 local visitors a day, (and thats every day, 365 days a year).

We understand that “most” people use Facebook to stay in touch, (as at 2014) so that is where we will stay, but we also recognise that more and more readers are using Google Plus to communicate with each other so we have made ourselves available to our +Google readers.

Of course, I still believe that subscribing to our Glasshouse County Newsletter is a great way to get a fortnightly update of everything that is happening on our website and in the Glasshouse Country Region

So here are the ways you can stay in touch

We still love and use the oldest technology known to man: which is to chat and talk with one another in the towns we live in and you will see me around from time to time interviewing and taking photos of Locals and Landmarks alike and sharing them as I see fit on one of our social media outlets.

so lets keep on talking and stay local
