Lay My Hat

nealh, thanks for publishing the link. I am not able to see or enter the group. How can I join it? Is it still active? I think the person who started the group has now closed it as she found it too time consuming with little benefit for her. Maybe something you would like to have a go at... althoug...

This group is for Tuscany... not sure if you wanted a site that covers the whole of Italy.

Stick with it... often things look totally different once you have slept on it with the solution just staring at you in the morning.

Our OD subscription expired in December. We had a phonecall asking if we would like to renew to which I replied with the usual reasons why we are not. There was a half-hearted attempt to get us to go the commission route but when it was clear we were not for turning then the rep said she would pass ...

According to the blurb from Alan Egan's offering, his site can be done in 3 hours... maybe you could put his claim to the test !

Many moons ago I used Dreamweaver to create our website but when I look back I cringe at what I produced. We made the move over to WordPress some time ago and would certainly not go back to anything else. There is the flexibility to be as simple or as complicated as you like, but most important of a...

Just an update for those that might be interested... possibly by the time you read this we will have broken the 700 member mark. There is a fair bit of interaction that is generally linked to the topic ;) Quite a few bookings have been taken through the group that I know of - which is the main focus...

It's a great feeling when that happens, isn't it?! And of course that is one booking that you know about... there might well be others you don't know about that have already happened.

Yes, I just look at the profile to get a flavour. Some are obvious eg 'self employed at Sunshine Property Management' others just share posts from the same rental agency. That said, the vast majority of members are genuine.

Well done on taking the plunge! ...although the hard work begins now :) I like the idea of the Cornwall info group... I might pinch that if you don't mind. If there is one thing I have learned from the Cyprus group I run, it is that once people see that it is an actively managed group they will star...

Just a quick response with more to come later... but wanted to say congrats for going for it!

I think at some point I will bite the bullet and just create the group, then concentrate on promoting it afterwards. I had been toying with the idea for a while - I had even set the group up then just let it lie there. It was when someone actually found the group (how I have no idea!!!!) and asked ...

I say go for it Jenster! When I was looking for a niche site for Cyprus rentals I couldn't find one that seemed effective. So stirred on by BYHD I thought I would start a FB group - www.facebook.com/groups/CyprusHolidayRentalsDirectFromOwners/ - first member joined 12/2, had 4 bookings for group mem...

Here in Cyprus we also use the 'bamboo' style (I don't think it is real bamboo more like a reed or rush) covering. Ours last a bit longer than a year but only just - maybe yours is similar to our bamboo/reed material? This is because we are cheapskates and won't pay for the better quality stuff that...

Thanks for dropping by... the group is working well. glad I started it even though it seems to eat up lots of time!
