Recommended Website www.slideshare.net Initially established as a site to host presentations so that people could view them without having to worry about emailing large files, Slideshare has grown into something much bigger. It really has become another form of social media where visitors can search an amazing array of presentations on every topic imaginable. A lot of the presentations are ordinary, but a lot are extremely clever which makes the site a great resource. Take a few minutes, check it out and search for topics that are relevant to you. When you see how often some of them have been viewed it is easy to see how powerful this social media option is.

top snap photography Do you have a property you want rented or sold? Would you rather the marketing was mundane and got lost in the crowd or eye catching and stood out? Professional photography has been proven to help increase buyer enquiry, reduce days on the market and even help properties sell for more – sometimes even tens of thousands of dollars more! “Engaging Top Snap photography in the marketing of my home was the best decision I could have made. The photographer worked with the property to ensure the result was optimum. The photos for both website and print usage were flawless and the property sold at the first open house. Couldn’t have asked for a better result” – Melissa Coulter, Master Builders Townsville. Give us a call on 0400 024 033 or e-mail us at townsville@topsnap.com to see how we can help you stand out from the crowd.
