Yes, Yes, Yes ... It's finally happening.

I am so amped I can hardly hold myself back.

In one of my earlier blog posts I hinted that I knew that Dr. Dolf de Roos, world-renowned property investor, educator and author of books such as Real Estate Riches , Making money in Real Estate and 52 homes in 52 weeks will be arriving in South Africa for a nationwide tour during the month of May.

I suggested people take the hint and register on the Property Prosperity website . I hope you did, because bookings are now open over at Property Prosperity and early birds are gonna get a discount.

Of all the things I've spoken about I have yet to speak about one of my fave sites Facebook. Bigger than Google, this site is totally awesome when it comes to the social networking giants. The programming behind this Gorilla is just incredible and deserves Platinum Kudos.

While most people see facebook at, well, face value, it is an amazing machine for internet marketers who understand it's deeper power. With social networking comes social marketing. I think this is the next big thing that has been missing from the internet since search engine optimization.

There's no end to the power of facebook and I may add, the addiction of facebook. You can literally spend hours on Facebook. This time, when used correctly can bring not just the benefits of finding long lost friends, but also traffic to your websites. I'm just getting to know Facebook and already have found great improvements in marketing and traffic. Facebook ads still have to pay-off, but I think with time it will. So I can't say whether Adword or Facebook is better. I think you need a strategy for both. However, where facebook wins is in the ability to build a large network and keep in contact and updated with what they are doing. That builds relations and so it goes on. Catch me on Facebook  

One of the members on my Property Investor Network , Gavin Bramley, posted this morsel on the forum. It gave me a chuckle so I thought I would just share the humour.

"Chatting to my sister in law on her 40th birthday yesterday (8th Feb) she tells me  that the power problems are causing a political issue and people have been asked to stop referring to these power problems as "Black-outs" but to rather use the term Previously lighted areas.... "

At least something positive has come out of our load shedding. 

Traffic is no joke, it's the core of an online business. Tap into traffic and you have people visiting your website, each a potential customer. So when you hit traffic flow you hit a goldmine.

That's what happened to me today. This morning I created my first hubs on HubPages.com and by middle of the day I already got 20 hits. That's fantastic return for all of 30 minutes work.

Believe me, I'm out there in the thick of it and no content sharing site has ever given me that many hits in one morning on the same day I loaded content. I can't explain it, I won't even try. You must see and try this for yourself. So far I've created three hubs African Real Estate Investment , African Stock Investment and Prepaid Metering . Check them out. They're simple for now, but if hots keep on rolling, I'll keep building.
