Today I wrote content for Alternative Investment Seminars. This content is entirely new, part of a project that I’m working on with an international real estate developer. The business has been extremely successful by any metric. The developer owns more than 20,000 acres of oceanfront property. To provide some perspective, the total land area exceeds that of Manhattan, in New York. Over the past several years, the developer presided over a massive master plan, carving out thousands of home sites. He installed an infrastructure that includes roads, water lines, and power. Through a brilliant marketing strategy, he has sold more than 1,000 of the home sites. His success really impresses me and inspires me. To spread awareness, he uses a combination of Internet marketing, and traditional advertising through television, radio, and print. He also employs hundreds of people who help make this project so successful. I’m working on a new project with him to develop a different sales channel through live events. We truly believe in the project, as we’re convinced that with the growing number of retirees, thousands of Americans will want to retire in a tropical paradise. The content I’m writing will bring this project to the attention of investors. I’m looking forward to working on this idea in the weeks to come, months, and years to come. After we I write all of the content for the website, I’ll write some marketing material. Then I’ll work to create a slide show that will me present the story to a audience of prospective investors. We’ll test the market with a few live events, likely in California first. If audiences respond to the offering well, then we’ll try to scale the model by taking the live events to different cities across the United States. I’ll enjoy making the presentations, assuming we get this project off the ground. Stay tuned.
