First DHSS Enterprise Allowance Success Story

First DHSS Enterprise Allowance Success Story PR Newswire LIVERPOOL, England, November 26, 2012 LIVERPOOL, England, November 26, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- B i z - f i n d . c o . u k has become an online success story in just 18 months by helping UK business promote the company for free through social media and article marketing and a little help from the UK government. Just as the government announced a fresh round of New Enterprise Allowance (NEA) funding in September 2011 for those who were unemployed for at least six months, an entrepreneur based in Wirral saw the opportunity to make something of it. Netmediauk Limited is now one of the leading online marketing training agencies, and biz-find.co.uk is becoming a household name as an online business directory and article marketing site. "Receiving the NEA meant I could start business and pursue my first targets whilst still having a basic survival budget. I started the business from a small room in my Dad's flat and I amaze myself how much the business has grown." Alan Johnston, Director of Netmediauk Limited, told us: "I had a background in digital marketing, though not through the conventional route. I am self-taught, I was a soldier and a van driver previous to 2005, and then I discovered social media, and grew my online following extensively. I even painted a chap's house back then, in return for him to teach me web design.
