… it’s done!

A few years planning, 9 months development and many thousands of Pounds later and I now have a commercial property portal loaded on my server with some dummy data for final testing.

This is the free advertising model I have wanted to implement for so long, it’s now in my blood.

This is where the real works starts though.

I’m offering free advertising to UK commercial property estate agents, that makes the sales job harder, not easier.

People are suspicious of free. They think they’ll have to pay commissions, or that the free advertising is simply a trial offer and then they’ll get sucked into a monthly payment routine.

It needs explaining. The two most frequently asked questions are, “where do you make your money”?  and “What’s the catch”? It’s to be expected and the answer is gloriously simple – I promote my surveying and Internet services on the site.

But that’s only one part of the promotion. The site still needs to generate visitors to the free property listings.

That’s what I’m working on now. Exciting times.
