Article Marketing Made Easy With These Tips

04/20/2012 11:11

A good way of promoting your business or your website is to create content that will be posted all over the internet. You can then use this content to link or mention your business. This is called article marketing, and might sound like an obvious way of promoting your business. Read these tips to learn how to do it in a tasteful way.

When writing to get traffic, do not worry about the length of your content or the exact topic it covers. You need to target a few keywords that people would use if they were interested in reading something similar to your content. Your content needs to refer constantly to these keywords.

In order to have success when marketing an article you must be unique in your marketing approach. People do not want to see the same article written five different ways. It is very boring and unappealing to see regurgitated material. Creating new and interesting material that is written in a delightful and attracting manner is the best way to market an article.

As a way to find fresh and timely ideas for your company's article-marketing efforts, as you're shopping at local markets, visiting local theaters and museums, coffee shops, dry cleaners, and similar places, listen and look for ideas about things you can include in your article that would be of interest to your customers.

Write a definition-type article. This helps any reader who is brand new to your field or niche. This article could be as simple as a list of terms, like a glossary, along with the definitions. Add in a little bit of your personal wittiness. Don't assume that everybody knows the basics -- become a resource for all newbies in your niche.

If you make articles that people will want to read, you will have a great head start. "How to" articles or writing with diagrams and infomation graphics seem to be popular. In addition to, just putting a poll out each month that is high quality, you will see that you will have more traffic.

Write about the same topic from different angles to produce more value-added content. Regardless of your topic, have a cheatsheet with several different angles to write. The best beeswax, beeswax benefits, beeswax flavors, beeswax history, and so on. Here are a few more: Top 10 beeswax producers, 5 ways to cook with beeswax and using beeswax for weight loss.

Do not use Facebook and twitter as just a place to put links to your articles. After a while people will start ignoring what you post. Make sure that you include posts that are really from YOU and are useful. Use these sites to have a conversation with your reader and to share information that you haven't blogged about yet.

Now that you know how to produce quality articles and link back to your website, you can get started with article marketing. This is only one way of marketing your business: you should use it in combination with other effective internet and real life internet marketing techniques for better results.

Impact of Foreign Business Act on Thailand's Property Market

02/16/2012 14:51

Following the Thai government’s proposals to amend the Foreign Business Act which restricts the rights of foreigners to own or operate certain businesses in Thailand, CB Richard Ellis Thailand has been carefully monitoring the Thai residential, resort and office markets to judge the market's actual response from news of the proposals to amend the law on foreign businesses and other recent events.

CB Richard Ellis has also looked carefully at the real effect of the current proposals in conjunction with major law firms and has considered the psychological effect and the perception of foreign businesses in Thailand and foreign purchasers of Thai property. The danger of these proposals is that they may be seen as a rejection of foreign investments with large potential losses for both the real estate and construction sectors of the economy and what might been seen as poor public relations or presentation of Thailand internationally.

According to the CB Richard Ellis Thailand Managing Director, Ms. Aliwassa Pathnadabutr, “Our first advice to all clients is that these proposals are not yet law. Secondly, detailed reading of the proposals shows them not to be as harsh as the headlines have presented them. Most businesses that will be redefined as foreign will be, by virtue of list three, largely unaffected and allowed to continue with time to amend their structure if necessary. Therefore, most office tenants should not be affected although demand from incoming tenants may well be reduced.”

There is strong overseas demand for luxury real estate, both condominiums in Bangkok and resort properties in the price range of US$ 350,000 and above. There is also strong demand in the mid range market with prices of US$ 100,000 and above for holiday and retirement homes in destinations like Pattaya, Hua Hin and Phuket. It would be a major loss for the Thai economy to lose this substantial and long term sustainable market to other tropical countries as noted by Ms. Aliwassa.

In conjunction with the government proposal to restrict nominee-structured companies from owning landed property, CB Richard Ellis would like to see positive steps to support the real estate industry such as 90 year leases for villas and an increase in the ratio of foreign buyers in condominiums from 49. Properties such as Laguna Phuket have never had significant local demand but are targeted specifically at foreign buyers, such developments are major contributors to foreign revenue inflow, the construction industry and local economies. Foreigners buying such properties contribute income not just on purchase, but continuously over the life of the properties through the purchase of local services.

For any current owner of a house or villa with a nominee structure, CB Richard Ellis advises owners to monitor the proposals and seek expert legal advice on how to amend the company’s structure and comply with any changes. The proposals allow a period of one year to amend or change a company’s status. If the Government did move on extending leases to foreigners to 90 years, this would be an obvious route for such villa owners to convert to leasehold.

Existing foreign owners and prospective buyers of Thai real estate should not panic or abandon their interest in purchase. They should focus on foreign condominiums quota and leasehold properties developed by well known and established companies. For example, CB Richard Ellis is proceeding with two overseas sales campaigns with the launch of Condominiums at The Cove in Krabi which will launch sales in late January in Stockholm, Sweden and in February the launch of Leasehold Pool Villas at the Shangri La Resort and Spa, a west coast Phuket beach project.

Despite recent events, there is still sustained foreign interest in Thai real estate. In confirmation of this, CB Richard Ellis Thailand points to sale bookings over Christmas and the first week of the New Year on multi million dollar leasehold villas in Phuket and continued condominium sales in Bangkok and Pattaya.

“We hope current uncertainties are quickly and professionally resolved so foreign investors know how to safely invest in Thai property. CB Richard Ellis very much hopes for and recommends longer 90 year leases and extended condominium ownership quotas. We believe, with confidence maintained, the Thai real estate market will continue to perform well and to rise on the back of sustained demand. Thailand is still a good real estate buy and foreigners’ preferred choice over other tropical countries,” concluded Ms. Aliwassa.
