5 Things to Include in Flats for Rent Ads

There is a skill to writing ads for flats for rent that can get yours noticed ahead of most of the rest out there. … at least those written by people who haven't done any research, unlike you (well, you’re reading this, aren’t you?!)

Nowadays with the availability of free advertising spaces online many property owners will by-pass the agent and place ads they have written themselves online, so it's useful to know what you should be including in your flats for rent ads and what you need to especially highlight when you write it.

1. Include A Good Photo

If the flats for rent advertising site allows it, make sure you include a current photo of your flat that presents it in its best light. Make sure you take it when the light is best; it's easy nowadays with digital cameras to get a couple of good shots from multiple photos, so take plenty and choose the best. If you are not a good photographer then get a friend or relative to help you.

2. Include All the Key Info

This may seem obvious but make sure you include in your ad ALL of the relevant info that the potential leaser will want to know: location, how many bedrooms, what's the style, is it furnished/unfurnished, kitchen arrangements, en suite bathrooms, terrace or balcony, what's in the local area, nearest tube station, monthly rent etc.

3. Keep it Concise and Highlight the Best Features

Having said you need to include all the relevant info, there may be limited space in your ad (some flats for rent sites will limit the number of characters in your ad) and you will need to strike a balance between what the viewer needs to know and the features that you most want to highlight. For example if your flat has a great balcony but the kitchen is rather small, you don’t mention the kitchen and you make sure the balcony gets a mention!

4. Include a Map

If the flats for rent site doesn’t automatically include a map with your ad then include one yourself. It adds another visual element to your listing that people always prefer over reading text. It also identifies to the viewer what's in the local area in terms of transportation, parks, amenities and other useful information. Maybe the site will allow you to use a Google Map; if not then include a basic map that you have scanned or created yourself.

5. Include Your Contact Details

Last but certainly not least (in fact this is the most important of the lot!) make sure that anyone interested in your flat for rent can contact you. Include a phone number and/or email address.

If you follow the above steps you should be able to craft an ad that sells your property. Don’t forget that on a busy site there will be hundreds of ads for flats for rent so creating one that stands out from the crowd is important. Not everyone can afford to have a property that sells itself!

Traffic Travis 4.0 Software For Successful Online Marketing

Traffic Travis 4.0 is the brain-child of Mark Ling, one of the leading success stories of online marketing in the business. It is a collection of software SEO tools that pass on the secrets of this success to you, the budding online entrepreneur…or even if you are an established online marketer wanting to learn a few new tricks!

Mark Ling originally made his name as a super affiliate marketer – that is to say, a proponent of marketing products designed by other people and getting paid large commissions for doing so. Now, using the skills he built earning those commissions he's marketing his own line of products showing you how to duplicate his success – via his Affiliorama business and the Traffic Travis 4 course of software.

He is based in Christchurch, New Zealand and 5 years ago began the Affiliorama business there, which really kick-started his career and was a stepping stone to the creation of Traffic Travis 4.0. Affiliorama is designed as a hub for online marketing, featuring a series of lessons set out in an easy-to-comprehend, step by step course and includes many interviews with other successful internet marketing people, many of whom have become very well-known in the field. It also includes a forum and other tools for people to use as a guide for their own business, as that was the whole aim – to get others set up and successful.

Affiliorama initially charged a monthly fee for membership but 3 years ago it became free to use and has continued to grow – so much so that last year it won a prestigious sward from Deloitte which named it as one of the 50 fastest growing businesses in the country. Interestingly much of what Mark Ling does now is free of charge to the end user.

Traffic Travis 4.0 specifically is a new set of software tools designed by Mark Ling to show internet marketers more of the successful tips that helped him get where he is today. It helps the user identify particular keywords within a product segment or niche area that have a high volume of search and low level of competition. This is clearly a key place to start for online marketing because everyone knows that if you want to sell something online then you must be able to drive visitors to your site in large numbers; and having people search for your keywords is the starting place; then making sure they come to you rather than your competition is what you must work on via SEO.

Traffic Travis 4.0 will help Internet marketers to narrow down and home in on keyword phrases that can become profitable – keywords that people search for but have not yet been picked up by other sites to a great extent, giving you the best chance of high search engine ranking for those terms. Of course these are changing all the time, so having the latest software to work with is important. This will give you the competitive edge that can be so important out there.

The Traffic Travis 4.0 software also allows a user to go to any web page and work out exactly how it has been optimized. It allows you to learn from what your competition is doing and then you can apply it to your own online business, improving and developing the optimization of your own pages.

Traffic Travis 4.0 also allows you to take any business segment and then identify what the best sites are in that segment in terms of SEO. This will generate ideas and show you what others are doing that is working well, which again you can apply to your own business niche.

Importantly, Traffic Travis 4.0 can work for you whether you are just starting out in online marketing or whether you already have a web site or blog and you just want to increase traffic to your site. If you are new to the game then it is designed to be user-friendly and features an easy-to-use graphical interface, so you needn't be daunted by taking the first steps in the "shallow end" of the big pool. If you are a seasoned pro it never hurts to have more tools by which you can analyze your competition, track your back-links more accurately and help you to stay on top of the pile!
