Using the Web and social media to sell real estate

I have just started my series on PT Barnum’s “Art of Money Getting” and I have already changed the course of my professional life by applying the first rule that is “Don’t Mistake Your Vocation”. Looking back at my current and past activities I see that my passion is that of sharing information, for free with friends or for compensation, like when I worked in magazines or when I advise an investor about a possible deal in the US.

This is my core competency: gathering relevant information and sharing it with others and therefore this will also become the major target for my future development and the purpose of this blog. I will concentrate on giving you an international viewpoint about business and life in general and also information that you can use in your own activity.

Today I have passed my Florida license exam as a real estate professional, in this way I will be better able to competently and fully support European investors who are planning to invest in the United States. I already know that some of the work is going to be exciting, like researching and sharing information, and some is going to be boring but important, like the study of the different laws and tax regulations in the various nations.

Actually, this type of consulting: putting together the various aspects of a business and showing when it is more convenient to work in the US or outside is probably going to be the most requested service of all. I see that people want ready made solutions and it is very difficult to find them all in just one spot, so there is an opportunity of servicing a ripe and not too crowded market.

Doing this, I will also hit right on the spot the second rule by P.T. Barnum which is: “Select the Right Location”. My project is very ambitious, but it is already working and I find myself more successful when I share what I know with other people: by sharing and having to explain I am forced to leanr things even more and make sure that there are no missing parts or faulty elements. This is the best way to learn: by having to explain to others.
