Hi All,
Hope you are having a great day!
As you know, I live in the UAE (Dubai, to be specific!)
My niche, as you probably also know, is the internet safety market for parents.
I am a member of quite a few mum's groups over here, both physically and also on Facebook. I know my market here in the UAE and I probably would get some support here. I could also see some offline activities i.e. building a course that might even be presented in the schools, that would only work here because it's my physical location.And I am trying to move away from too much physically needing to be in a work location so... (that's a double edged sword)

Still, I notice some topics that would be only Dubai-related and products that would also be Dubai-related. One such thing is I found a club that teaches children about coding here in the UAE. I want to interview the lady who runs it, but I am worried about alienating my international readers.
At the moment, a lot of my traffic is from the US (although I am guessing that is mainly WA readers), UK (probably mostly through family and friends) UAE (also mostly through friends I would imagine) and bizarrely (and for no reason that I can fathom) Russia!!!!?
Now there are a number of options:
1) I could just write blogs related to UAE issues within my normal blog roll, with a UAE category and also do wider stories and see what happens?
2) I could create a separate page on my website for specific Dubai/UAE issues - "Savvy Surfing in the UAE"??
3) I could create a separate website which is a .ae address but then I would need to build that site too and it would have to be completely unique so this might cause some confusion if I wanted them to read my other articles (a lot of which are relevant!)
4) Ignore the UAE market and just stick to the global market
5) OR .... something I haven't thought of yet???
Would appreciate some comments from you all on what you think? What would be the pros and cons of each point or is there something I have missed - some easier way to do it!
