Locked Down on Orkney: How Sharing Stories Builds Traffic and Hope"I figured there were only two things I was really good at: drinking malt whisky and telling stories." Tom Muir, who runs Orkneyology.com with his wife Rhonda, decided that telling stories on their website would be the better way to help people in these times of uncertainty.
Since ancient history, stories have been a way of imparting knowledge and moral messages in a non preaching way. Just listening to Tom's soothing voice makes you feel more calm.
After recording a story each night and uploading them to Orkneyology.com, they saw their biggest website traffic day ever. And not only that, people started reaching out to them. So, by doing their best to help their readers and listeners, Tom and Rhonda gave their website and online business a boost, too.
When asked about the learning curve for putting up a podcast, Tom chuckled and said: "It's all very low tech. I am using 4 cushions to build my own little soundproof recording studio." Watch the video to see a photo of Tom's homemade studio!
