    • Viable SEO Practices for Online Hobby ShopsViable SEO Practices for Online Hobby Shops
      TipsThere are thousands of online hobby shops active these days. One thing that sets your shop from the competition is that people know you and your business. Word of mouth is great for these types of shops given that it is a small market. There aren’t much model ship or model train stores in the UK. It is viable to take it online to save money in a physical store. If you are having a hard time gaining customers through your online hobby shop, here are some SEO tips you can apply. Content Optimization Content optimization or SEO writing is an in-demand professional service wherein websites improve their ranking in search engines through content. You can include endless content on your website. Even if you publish articles as long as 5,000 words every day, that does not guarantee a higher ranking. But if you were to incorporate SEO in all of your write-ups, then your website is sure to perform better. Content optimization or SEO writing results to higher conversion rate, improve brand credibility, promotes better user experience, and establish brand awareness. Content is important not only for online presence and visibility. Great content builds trust among your customers. They get to engage in an online shop that has extensive knowledge of the products they sell. RJ Model Ships is a firm believer in SEO. Many of our content is heavily optimized, especially our model ship tips and related content. SEO Hosting This is more of a package service. For example, one of the top providers adept in this field is Internet Vikings. The company provides full SEO hosting that covers IP infrastructure and domain security. “When you let us take care of your hosting, you will always be guaranteed a solution with a diversified IP infrastructure, including unique C-class IPs.” This is what Internet Vikings offer. But it is more technical and in-depth than that. SEO hosting helps online hobby shops localize their websites, consistent solution for multiple countries, establish automated WordPress installation, and more. In short, you can hire Internet Vikings to revamp your website with strong SEO content. It is also a matter of security. Internet Vikings’ services include website and domain protection. Your online hobby shop is something you own. Since it is an e-commerce website, you deal with transactions online. It is important to establish security protocols and firewalls to take care of all transactions and information entered. We highly recommend Internet Vikings for SEO services, mainly for their experience and the resources they have....

      Feature Articles / Model ShipsThere are thousands of online shops out there. Most of them offer the same products and services. So, the competition, on whatever product or service you provide, is always tough. These days, online solutions like website development, content marketing, and more are a good way to go. Use web hosting and development services If you are not familiar with web development, then you should use the professional expertise of someone else. If you were to do so, you should get package services. For example, InternetVikings offer domain hosting, web development, and SEO optimization. You can pay a good amount of money and benefit from all of these services. The idea is to not only have a functioning website. The idea is to make sure your online store is engaging and provides easy to access user interface and user experience. If you are also making use of a lot of data, then it is best to incorporate everything to the cloud. Cloud computing means securing your data online allowing you to access everything wherever you are. There is the matter of security, that is of course given in these services. Developers put up the necessary firewalls, SSL certificate, and domain protection. It would be best if you were to use these services from the start. If you don’t have a website, then you can ask a provider like Internet Vikings to do most of the heavy lifting. Incorporate SEO SEO optimization is common and pretty much a basic requirement for websites these days. SEO helps the website get higher rankings in search engines.

    • Progressive Hobbies for Children to Improve FocusProgressive Hobbies for Children to Improve Focus
      Feature ArticlesChildhood is an amazing stage for everyone. Most of us went to school, played outside with our friends, and we didn’t worry much about the world. With our own experience as children, we want the next generation, our kids, nephews, nieces, and others to be more productive than we were. These days kids are getting more engaged and are willing to learn something new. Something new that can help them in the future with their academics, activities, characteristic, and even in the professional field. At RJ Model Ships, we believe in helping a child improve his or her focus at a young age. This can be done through several hobbies or activities. Building Model Ships and Model Trains No matter how old you are, building a model ship or train is ideal for you. Many of our readers build model ships with their kids. Children will surely pick-up the concept and skills needed to model ships when they get a little older. Little kids as young as 4-years-old can assemble model ships and trains with adult supervision. Believe it or not, there are even those who can build model ships on their own with a manual to help them out. Building a model ship takes time and focus. Kids are sure to enjoy and engage. The thought of seeing the model ship assembled drives them to put in the work. This is more than just a hobby for many people. Building model ships for children with their parents, siblings, and other members of the family is also great quality time. Children can also do this activity with friends of their own. Just imagine the look on their faces once they finish. Learn a New Language Learning a new language is very rewarding, no matter what language it is. Little kids are more capable these days. With all the technological advances, they can almost learn anything right at home. To learn a new language takes more than just interest. It takes focus and comprehension. Children have what it takes to learn a whole new language. Cambodian boy Thuch Salik could speak 16 languages when he was only 14-years-old. This child learned everything from talking to tourists going to the Angkor Wat temple in Cambodia. There are more hobbies for children to improve their focus.

    • Basic Tips for Building Model ShipsBasic Tips for Building Model Ships
      Feature Articles / TipsBuilding a model ship is always a great experience for all ages. There are different varieties of model ships with some that can be built within a couple of hours while some may even take you days. So, if you are planning on building a model ship soon, here are some basic tips you should be aware of. Make sure to have all accessories and fittings A model ship should be detailed. Not just its main body or its hull. A model ship should fully replicate all the necessary parts and features of a real ship. This includes anchors, bitt head tops, bollards, boom yokes, capstans, chain plate, davits, drip covers, drain port, and so much more. You can purchase model ships in their entirety with all the necessary parts included. However, in our experience and with many of our readers, it is best to add additional parts you get to buy separately. The most expensive model ship was sold at £162,000 and it is a replica of the RMS Mauretania. It is one of the most detailed and decorative model ships there is. You should check it out to fully understand what we mean when we say you need all the accessories for a model ship. Buy the necessary tools Most model ship or boat kits are sold as a whole these days. However, these packages only include the parts of the model ship or boat. You will be needing a couple of tools to assemble everything. Most of the parts don’t just fit together. The most basic tools you’ll need to assemble a model ship or boat are sandpaper, small pliers, clamps, and more. You will be needing tools for assembly, drilling, cutting, sanding, gripping, rigging, painting, planking, finishing, and organizing. However, if you are a beginner you don’t need a lot of tools. Just make sure you have the necessary tools for assembly. There are then a couple more accessories you need to get for the details for your model ship. Feel free to go beyond the manual and instruction sheet Most model ships have instruction for assembly. However, you don’t have to limit yourself to the information you read. Well, you need to follow what is said for the essential parts like the hull but, when it comes to its design and features, why not go overboard. You can purchase different accessories and items for your model ship. Most model ships can accommodate different accessories of different brands. Some people even design and make their own accessories and fittings. This way, you can bring your idea to life. For more posts similar to this one, feel free to contact us today....
    • Most Expensive Model Ships in the WorldMost Expensive Model Ships in the World
      Model ShipsThere are millions of model ships out there. Some assembled by enthusiastic little kids, some collected by avid collectors, and some, that are bought for a whole lot of money. Throughout the years, we’ve seen a lot of model ships be sold for a lot of money and we are talking about for hundreds of thousands of pounds. Most of the model ships are replicas of the biggest cruise and warships built by man. If you want something new to discuss during your next meet-up with your fellow model ship lovers, here is something you can talk about. The most expensive model ships in the world. RMS Mauretania 12ft long Model Ship – £162,000 The ocean liner RMS Mauretania was launched back in 1906. This massive ship was once the holder of the largest ship ever built. It was designed by Leonard Peskett and then built by Swan Hunter and Wigham Richardson for the British Cunard Line. In 2015, a 12-foot wooden replica of this particular ship was sold for a whopping £162,000. The 1:64 model was crafted by Hunter as well. This model ship is profound and a treasure because of its history. The RMS Mauretania is the sister ship of the ill-fated Lusitania that was sunk by a German vessel in 1915. It is one of the most detailed and decorative models you will ever see. Today, it still holds the record for the most expensive model ship in the globe. The model ship was built to celebrate the RMS Mauretania when it was deployed back in 1906. We’ve seen this model face to face, and it is surely a dream come true. We believe the same can be said for so many of our readers out there. HMS Terrible Model Battleship – £89,000 There is nothing terrible about this model battleship. The HMS Terrible, a powerful class, the second and the last powerful class built for the Royal Navy back in the 1890s. The ship played an integral role during the Second Boer War in South Africa, especially during the Relief of Ladysmith back in October 1899. Its replica was a steam-powered vessel and it represented the HMS Terrible for what it was about, power. The model battleship was made by Germany’s toymaker Marklin in 1905. The model battleship was sold at an auction for £89,000. If you want to learn more about these two model ships and more, subscribe to our online blog today....
