The Dr D's Science Days web site is finally up and running, and can be found here!
After some assistance from a 'techie' friend of mine, and at no extra cost (other than a couple of beers, which thinking about it I should have got a receipt for, as they could be classed as a tax deductible business expense!) the basic outline of the site was reorganised, and I have now filled it with content detailing how wonderful my business is, and the great activities and services which I can offer to eager young minds!
I have also taken the plunge, and designed a simple advert for Bailgate Independent magazine, which looks like this:
The magazine distributes 10,000 copies each month, so I am hoping that I will get at least a couple of enquiries from parents about parties for their children as a result. There is also the possibility that it may be spotted by local teachers, who will check out the web-site and learn about the in-school activities that I'm offering as well.
Also, my Dr D's Facebook page has already attracted 21 'likes' from friends, who I hope will be kind enough to point any of their friends with children in my direction!
Things are definitely looking up! All I need to do now is sit back and wait for the bookings to come rolling in!
Officially, I class myself as a Freelance Science Education Consultant, but 'Wandering Scientist' somehow sounds more cool!
Welcome
This wasn't really part of the plan if I'm honest.... When I was at school, and people asked what I wanted to do with my life, this would not have been the first thing on my list...... That said, neither would it have been the last thing on my list. At the time, I was not aware that there would be possibilities in the future to work in such a flexible way without having a "proper" job.
The purpose of this blog is to act as a vent for my frequent ramblings, to document the successes (and inevitable failures) of my progress starting out on this Freelancing adventure, and possibly to offer some insight to others who may be considering a similar non-conformist career path.
