Writing services - do you need a writer?

Michael from Kamo

Hey whānau, I'm Mike. I’m a wordsmith and Digital Storyteller.

I have just been made redundant from my job with an Aussie software company and I'd love to help you with your writing/website/communications needs over summer for work.

So, I'm Whangarei-based and available to meet in person.

My expertise is in digital wordsmithery- so, how I could potentially be useful to you is:

· Writing articles good enough to get into reputable news publications

· Getting your business stories into the news (pitching stories)

· Communications (Public relations)

· Marketing emails, writing scripts for your videos, blogging, SEO and keywording

· Writing biography material, writing your family stories or capturing your personality in words

· Collecting testimonials from your customers (handling those awkward cringe phone calls with clients)

· Aaand publishing all of the above on your CMS / website/ mailouts / social media platforms.

I’m really looking for ongoing work where possible so that I can get deeply invested in your story.

Many thanks for letting me post and please flick me a message if you feel I could help you with some work.

Poll: Does grocery bagging affect where you shop?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

There's only a few differences between our larger chain supermarkets here in New Zealand. Having someone bag your groceries is one of them.

Does having your groceries packed for you at the checkout influence where you do your grocery shop? If so, tell us why.

Poll: Would you commute by public transport if it was free?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Using your car is convenient, except for finding parking.

Cycling lets you leave anytime, but you might arrive soaked.

So, neighbours, if public transport had the perk of being free, would it be your main way to commute?

Six tips for improving security around your home

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

1) Improve outdoor lighting
Ensure that streets, driveways, and front yards are well-lit. Motion-sensor lights around homes deter trespassers by reducing hiding spots and illuminating their movements.

2) Trim your trees
Overgrown shrubs and trees provide cover for intruders. Keeping them well-trimmed around windows and doors improves visibility and reduces potential hiding spots.

3) Secure Entry Points
Ensure doors, windows, and gates are always closed when you are away from the house. Upgrade to more secure locks, deadbolts, or even smart locks for added protection.

4) Add a security camera
Place security cameras in the main entry points to your home. Doorbell cameras are also relatively cheap and a great way to keep track of who is visiting your home when you aren't there.

5) Start a Neighborhood Watch Program
You could reach out to members on Neighbourly to form a group of neighbors who can regularly keep an eye out for suspicious activity and report it. You could also check with Neighbourhood Support to see what is existing in your area.

6) Introduce yourself to your neighbours
The closer you are to your neighbors, the more likely they’ll notice when something unusual or suspicious is happening around your property

Feel free to share anything that you do around your area to deter crime.
