Very Well, so the Kalmindon catastrophe is concluded. I know I've been diddled by a team of two of very clever brothers with a very creditable story, it's cost me 3,000 that I coughed up for SEO training that I could have found from the internet for zero quid, with no chance whatever of the promised clientele that was 'guaranteed upon course completion' being seen. They were meant to have a 'pool of clients' waiting to have their webpages optimised and they would merely match me up with the ones either in or adjacent to the Black Country.
Of course the unkindest thing, which is the same for all of us who have been betrayed, is not the money that we all shelled out to the Brothers Grim, but the reserves we used up in the meantime. Because they assigned us a website of their own to work on which needed plenty of articles, 50 in my case, in the anticipation that a paying client was just around the corner and I could start to generate some sort of income. In my case that means that as I started the training in April I have been using my own money to support us during that period and now here we are in November and it is almost all gone. Luckily, the cost of living in the Black Country is much lower than it would be in many places, but it couldn't continue forever, and it didn't.
But, what I have come away with is the knowledge that I was not alone and some intelligent people have also been done equally so I'm not the only prat. The other is that I have learnt how to do SEO, something that I didn't in fact know existed up to the episode but now I understand it and really enjoy doing it. To me, SEO is the ideal job as my wife is undergoing chemotherapy at the moment which means frequent journeys to hospitals around the Black Country and I can go off for a bit to go with her.
I had already been practicing a bit of IT support for small businesses in the Black Country though it merely ran to the occasional call to attach a printer or repair a crashed pc, not as regularly as I would like obviously. But what I can do now is to combine both abilities and offer SEO and IT support and hopefully attract frequent business coming in.
But while I try to find something, I may have to see about a job at the Scottish burger restaurant or at a restaurant somewhere though it is not likely to help very much as the first Mrs Izzard is about to go on half pay from now as she has been off sick for treatment for six months now. Which is of course another rather unfortunate bit of timing as far as the conning of time and money by Kalmindon is concerned.
So, although I'm not a native of the Black Country I have found them to be mainly jolly and positive folk, and I will endeavour to adopt that outlook since I am, after all a far better person than the scum-suckers who very likely feel very smug and clever at having diddled me and the others. But then that is presumably how sociopaths operate and I am a good person. So there. *Blows a raspberry!*
