Listing Tips

Choosing words wisely- When choosing the description of your new listings try to use words that would be used in everyday conversation. By truncating words like bedroom to bdr you are missing out on opportunities.

Search listing address on the Internet- before you send off your listing to VIREB, try using Google Maps ( http://maps.google.com ) to find the property you are intending to offer for sale to check if the address information is available. 

The savvy Internet real estate shopper will use maps, local chambers, travel & tourism web sites on Vancouver Island , local city web sites to determine the area to buy property.

The Downtown Directory
Another great resource for the local businesses in the downtown Nanaimo core is the Downtown Business Directory
Check out their new web site for current advertising rates and look for their publication in the seatbacks of the Harbourlynx and BC Ferries.

For Product Comparisons and Real User Reviews I use Epinions. It generally gives you a good idea of what the going street price of a certain item is.

Are You Being Annoyed By Fax Spammers

For all you annoyed by fax spammers, I phoned the phone company cause it was waking the kids up.
Well I found a couple of solutions.
1. You can phone 1-866-617-6355 and it will prompt you to type in the nuisance number and the number you are at and then presto bingo...you be removed from that FAX Spammer
2. You can go to this web site http://www.cmaconsumersense.org/marketing_lists.cfm and add yourself to the "do not contact list" which you can choose "do not call" and/or "do not fax"and/or "do not mail" options

Past Projects I Had Fun With Internet Broadcasting

One of the first attempts at launching a full commercial radio station on the web was My CityRadio.The idea was to operate much the same way as a radio station but accompany that with live video.
We assisted in the building of the broadcast network which was capable of re-broadcasting to feeder stations in full broadcast quality. Celebrity recruits from a popular radio station in Vancouver called CKNW, included the likes of David Berner, Fanny Kiefer, and Dan Russell from Sportstalk. There were also other talk shows, Jazz Shows, and Riot Radio led by the legendary punksuperstar, Joey Shithead of DOA. (once a political candidate for the Green Party)
