			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here&#8217;s a little something I set-up today, sort of like an answer to an apparent demand but also as a training exercise in using Ning. Here&#8217;s the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ning">wiki explanation of Ning</a>. So for my first experiment with setting up a social network using Ning I&#8217;d like to introduce <a href="http://travellingseos.ning.com/">Travelling SEOs</a>!!! The main idea came from a <a href="http://www.webproworld.com/internet-industry/77645-shall-i-become-travelling-search-engine-optimization-too-tricky.html">thread at WPW</a> concerning the implication of conducting SEO whilst on the road, abroad or locally. I was surprised by the feedback the thread received and came to the conclusion that a Ning group could be quite doable with that level of interest.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-144" title="travelling-seos" src="http://mattinertia.bingomatchup.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/travelling-seos.jpg" alt="travelling-seos" width="535" height="142" /></p>
<p><span id="more-142"></span>Here&#8217;s a few tips garnered from my thread at WPW:</p>
<ul>
<li>Get an unlocked GSM phone from Ebay&#8230; much cheaper than through a regular mobile service vendor, plus no contracts to sign and you can change SIM cards very cheaply from country to country.</li>
<li>Bring your laptop, make sure it has WI-FI capability.</li>
<li>Try to get an all-encompassing warranty for the laptop in case it breaks down on you somewhere on the road (*I got a special warranty from Future Shop in Canada that allows me to have my Sony VAIO laptop replaced hassle free, and on the spot, at ANY Sony store worldwide).</li>
<li>Bring at least 2 credit cards for wi-fi time etc. if applicable</li>
<li>Buy the Pacsafe anti-theft laptop bag</li>
<li>Buy a retractable travel lock or 3</li>
<li>Bring an 8GB removable USB memory stick or 3 (*laptops get stolen and broken frequently when travelling internationally&#8230; use the memory stick to back up all your data on a regular basis&#8230; plus they are small, light, portable and customs agents do not look at them normally) and you can use them in virtually any internet cafe if a crisis arises while you are travelling.</li>
<li>I&#8217;ve had bags stolen when travelling/working abroad before&#8230; ALWAYS use the retractable lock to secure your laptop on trains, hotel rooms, cafes&#8230; everywhere.<br />
Remember this&#8230; theft of bags abroad etc. is normally much more stealth and advanced than we see in North America&#8230; expect the unexpected at all times and never take your eyes off your valuables.</li>
<li>You&#8217;ll also need to get a special program to secure your WI-FI transmissions&#8230; Jwire offers a WI-FI security software for $25.00 if I remember correctly.</li>
<li>Do not go into isolated/remote areas with no internet access or cell phone signal (obviously).</li>
<li>Always keep in mind the time zone differences when travelling abroad.</li>
<li>The key issue is whether you can maintain client relationships whilst on the move.</li>
</ul>
<p>Most of these tips were from <a href="http://www.webproworld.com/members/rcmedia.html" target="_blank">rcmedia</a> so thanks for that!</p>
<p>There was also a great link from CBOSLeeds to a post he did with loads more great advice: <a href="http://www.yousaytoo.com/cbosleeds/how-to-make-money-on-the-internet-without-being-a-couch-potato/23295" target="_blank">How to make money on the internet without being a couch potato.</a></p>
<p>So why not get involved with the movement!?</p>
