Credit Crunch Busters

The site has been up and running for a good couple of months now and I felt it was time to move things on and help to expand our readership. Initially, our URL was linked to a generic ‘Learning Lab’ blogger, but is now located on a more relevant domain; the very one that appears in front of you.

Initially, we set up this site in the hope of attracting a few readers who were unaware of what a credit crunch was, in the hope that we could explain to them, essentially; where it came from, why we’re in one, when it all began, how to survive it and, of course, offer a universal definition.

After discovering the site’s true potential and realising just how much the crunch has affected people over the past few months, we opened up a forum and a Facebook group to get your opinions on the matter and found that people were actually interested in the subject and had plenty to say on how it had affected them financially.

Approached by an old friend, regarding the advancement of the site’s user popularity, through the success of our Facebook group, he offered Credit Crunch Busters the opportunity to move home after being convinced by the credentials of our site.

Colin Jensen, of CJ Solutions, specialises in I.T. services and website development and expressed an interest in moving the site on. This, of course, was an opportunity that I felt that we could not refuse and accepted the offer.

With that, however, comes a responsibility of dedication to site content, design and research in order to ensure that you, the reader, will hopefully subscribe to our news feed and keep up to date with the issues that affect you most in day to day life.

As well as offering us ease of access to our site and full administration rights, it meant that we could now be recognised by Google much more rapidly and therefore extends our readership with each passing article that we upload.

Although our small team of five don’t admit to being financial economist experts, we do have a general interest in the topic and can relate to your financial situation; we are not highly paid journalists with an unequivocal understanding of the stock exchange and therefore know how to get rich, quick. To us, the recession is indeed a crunch and not just a tiny nip in our pockets.
