Providers of Services

When many expats move offshore, they are looking for any number of services and contacts.

• Relocation Services
• Real Estate Purchase & Leasing
• Builders
• Visa & Legal Services
• Staffing & Domestic
• Startup Assistance

A thoughtful and helpful article that includes a bio will give you some credibility. A live link to your web site will give you a head start at doing business with those who read your article. What will not help .. nor will be published .. is a thinly veiled and self-serving advertisement for your business.

Telling Others About the Country You Adopted

Maybe you fascination with you new homeland makes you want to tell other about it. We especially welcome narratives from expats who have been "on the ground" for a number of years.

We all know how outdated and superficial guidebooks can be.

Blogs Are Better Than Newspapers

Your well-written and up-to-date blog will get repeat visits. Basically, you just need to get a visitor to bookmark your blog. But if visitors don't know your site, they can't bookmark it.

Searchers Quit at Page Three

So how will someone find your site or blog? Research shows that if you are not on page three or better of the search results on search engines, you are invisible.

Recommendations Work

Having an article or an interview on a web site is a tacit recommendation. If a webmaster thinks enough of you, your site, your blog, or your message to add it to their site; more readers will take you seriously.

And when an expat or potential expat reads your article or interview, s/he forms an opinion. You suddenly become more personal than not.

Articles Work Even Better

"Hey, that guy knows what he's talking about."

A well-written article will do even more to attract attention than almost anything else on the web. You control the topic. You control the flow. You know what expats coming to your adopted country need to learn.  

A Great Article

• Should be as long as it needs to be
• Will be very detailed. A detailed article on a narrow subject will be more helpful than one that is too broad to fit in the details.
• Expats want to know what a location is really like. Ex. Living in Lake Chapala?
• Good information about types and costs of rental housing are very helpful.
• Visa and residency information without the legalese is always popular.
• Cable TV, great beaches, internet connections, transportation alternatives .. the list is almost endless
