FB deleted my 56 Property Posts

Yesterday was a bad day for me.

As all of you readers would know by now,

I write about property-related topics in Facebook

almost everyday.

So yesterday I was searching high and low in FB

for some posts which were written past few days.

AND to my surprise .... they were MISSING !!

Here is a screenshot of one of my posts.

At first I thought it was just a Technical Glitch

and thus I just ignored it and waited.  After 2 hours

I searched again .... and those real estate posts were

still not there.

AND that's when I started to panicked !!

Did I do something wrong with my marketing and

branding in Social Media Platforms like FB ?

So finally this morning, my fears came true.

I logged into my Facebook account and this pops up

WOW ... 56 of my posts on property-related content

were removed without my knowledge ....

Here are the screenshots :

BUT what irks me is why does Facebook do this

to me ?  And without giving me any Warning ?

What is worse is that I was NOT even given any

chance to make an appeal to them !!

I am an active member in many property Groups.

So whenever I make a post, I will then click the

SHARE button .

So my question is  ---  if FB doesn't like what I 

write or what I share, then why not just remove the

Share Button ?

Only after I have wasted so much time and effort

in sharing to other groups ... then only they deleted .

There is simply no justice at all ....

As a real estate agent, I need to post about properties

as part of my Marketing & Branding. But by totally

blocking my URL Link to this Blog of mine, it means

that I am losing out on a lot of opportunites.

BUT no worries.

I have 3 Solutions in mind

OPTION 1

===========

Use an Image Post which shows the Blog URL.

Thus if you are reading this now,

please SAVE/Bookmark this URL for your reference

since I will be posting in this Blog almost daily.

OPTION 2

===========

Use a Bridge Page.

A bridge page is essentially a Landing Page

which Re-Directs you to my actual Blog.

Its like using a 3rd Party.

Thus you will then click on the Bridge Page link

which will then bring you to this Blog,

bypassing the FB Lockdown .

Here's a video I created about Bridge Page

OPTION 3

==========

Use a Link Cloaker..

This cloaker serves to Mask/Disguise my Blog URL

to enable it to bypass FB robots.

Take not that a Link Cloaker is 

NOT the same as a Link Shortener e.g Bitly or TinyUrl.

There are Free and Paid Versions of Link Cloakers

in the market. But with advanced in technology by FB,

my personal experience shows that some of these

cloaking software or cloaking service are NO LONGER

effective in penetrating through the Facebook firewall .....

Thus you must be careful on this.

The Mapping King of Malaysian Real Estate

 

If you are a Real Estate Agent or a Property Agent

in Malaysia, and you are like me ( specializing in land,

be it Agriculture Land or Development Land or perhaps

Industrial Land ) , then you would most likely come

across the name Ho Chin Soon from Ho Chin Soon

Research Sdn Bhd ).

For he is the un-disputed King of Maps !!

Yes.... he produces all types of maps for the 

real estate fraternity. His maps cover most of the

states, and focus on Land Use and Land Transactions

which are very useful for any Real Estate Agent .

Then too, his maps are also widely used by the

property developers, as those maps offers a macroview

of whats developed in any particular location. 

Thus it allows the developer a clear insight into the

surroundings as well as the competition for their

market survey and market research.

I met Ho Chin Soon in 1991 when I was still a

Business Development Executive with the public-listed

Selangor Properties Bhd.

Back then he has just started his company, and was

eager to sell his FIRST set of maps.

And that was how I managed to get a copy of his maps

( Ampang Road East & Bukit Bintang Master Plan ) 

which was published in October 1990.

Frankly,  his maps were VERY UGLY  indeed !!

Actually they were not maps but rather black & white A4 size 

compilations in book form.

The initial release was a fiasco ... coz the property agents 

would buy 1 copy & then photostat to share among themselves !!

So the ever-smart Master Ho changed his format 

from black & white to a darker grey and red background. 

This means those cheapskate agents only end up with

REALLY DARK photostated copies which are NOT readable.

As the years progressed, the quality kept on improving 

until you get to see all his colorful glossy maps today !!

Of all the maps in my vintage portfolio, 

the best ones are from his 1992  Klang Valley Master Plan series  

( Central, North, South ). 

These 3 maps were of immense help to me

 in my forays into land deals.

Dont believe ? .... just look at their torn 

& worn-out condition from my over-use !!

Here are some of his other maps produced

during the early days ....

These days the King of Maps has retired,

and the firm is now headed by his son Ismael Ho.

With the new young blood, Ismael has now infused the

modern technology into the mapping business, using

drones, Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality too.

Personally i have bought about RM40,000 worth of maps

from them, and these maps have really helped me a lot

in sourcing for land, analysing the surroundings and

doing marketing proposals.

Of course, many property agents don't even know that

such types of maps exist. And so they end up just using

Google Maps or buy those tourist maps from bookshops

like Borders, MPH, Popular, Kinokuniya or from the

petrol stations like Exxon, BH, Shell and Petronas !!

Also most property agents or Real Estate Negotiators

prefer to use the app Waze .... when moving around.

But if you are doing out-station site surveys or have

to visit sites located in rural locations, then I would

suggests using those maps from Ho Chin Soon instead.

So what is their secret of success ?

Back then there was no Joey Yap or Lilian Too 

or Kenny or Joe or other masters.

BUT  Ho Chin Soon was already practising feng shui 

..... his address was the very lucky and auspicious

LOT 4.88,  Wisma Central ....

And in March 1995 ... 26 long years ago ... 

Master Ho was already zooming in on South Johor

yet you fellas are only talking about Iskandar Johor now 

...  that's the difference between a VISIONARY 

Master Mapper and a layman ....

Estate agency is not a 9-to-5 job.

Every real estate agent know that the job

involves much running around. 

And when everyone else is at home,

Alternative theraphy is good for Estate Agents ?

Whether you believe or not, but we often hear
of cases of breast cancer patients who managed
to beat the odds and live on .....

Often we hear of estate agents having cancer.

This is because of the nature of their work,

which often involve odd hours.

Due to this hectic schedule, they get ravaged

by all sorts of diseases ... high blood pressure,

high cholesterol, cancer, diabetes and so on.

There were many cases where the doctors have
given up hope on the agents, and told them that
they could not be cured. So just hope for the best.

And then we have also read of the miraculous
life stories of cancer survivors, who had defied
the doctors orders and lived till today.

In most of these enlightening cases, the patients
would resort to alternative medicine or alternative
theraphy. Sometimes it works, and sometimes
it does not.

For example, Munirah Hasan who is a breast
cancer survivor for the past 4 years, says that
it is important to take well-being supplements
to boost the body immune system.

Some of the natural supplements that she has
taken are imuno colustrum, probiotics, organic
soyamilk, papaya powder enzyme and apple
plus grape stemcell.

To buy them online, she suggests that you
get it from popular websites that offer you
good service and free delivery too .

This is because online stores offer more

variety as compared to what is available

in the neighborhood phramacy .

But please remember that not every

human being reacts the same.

Thus what works for one person

may not work for another.

Pacify your Hectic Lifestyle with Graviola ?

I saw this in prime time TV in the USA
about the positive effects that the graviola fruit
has provided to those who lead an active life.

So what is graviola ?

Graviola or soursop has been referred to on TV
as "Immune System's Best Friend" The most
powerful effects from the Graviola tree come from
leaves, bark, roots, stems and seeds.

This natural immune booster has been used for
many years to reduce fevers and the effects of colds
and flus and help in liver function.

Annonaceous acetogenins the active compounds
found in Graviola, have been studied by scientist
since the 1940's for it's ability to assist in 

normal cell function.

Sour sop known to many as graviola 

or (spanish guanabana) has been know for ages 

for its medicinal uses and properties
including treatment for sleep disorders, bedbugs, 

fevers, cough etc.

It is 10,000 times stronger than the
chemotherapy drug Adriamycin, and that it 

is effective against prostate, lung, breast, colon 

and pancreatic cancers.

However recently there has been an increase in the
demand for this graviola fruit due to its recently 

discovered medicinal value which some studies 

suggest that graviola may be used in the treatment

and cure for tumor etc

The idea that graviola is an effective cancer fighter 

comes from research at Purdue University's School 

of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences on the 

active components of the tree, unique substances 

known as annonaceous acetogenins.

The Purdue investigators found them to be 

potent inhibitors of cancer cells while leaving 

normal cells alone.

They also found the compounds to be effective
against drug-resistant cancer cells.

Considering the above, if you are a property

agent or realtor that needs to be in a tip-top

condition daily, then you may wish to prep

yourself up with this Graviola.

*Disclaimer: Do not change or discontinue any 

medication or treatment without consulting your 

physician. These statements have not been 

evaluated by the US Food and Drug Administration. 

How can Estate Agent live with cancer ?

"I have cancer, it doesn't have me!" 

Thats the reaction from Jennifer Tan,

a part-time realtor that was diagnosed

with Stage 2 breast cancer.

And this is one of the statements that snaps out 

at you when you first surf to the website of the 

National Breast Cancer Foundation. 

I am amazed at the positive atmosphere, 

plus the positiveness of this Foundation, 

giving hope to people who plan to live.

The National Breast Cancer Foundation 

doesn't just offer support to those people who 

have contracted this cancer, but also offers 

preventative information to help people to 

the best of their ability to not contract it.

I am impressed by the fact that they also

offer access to free mammograms to who are in need. 

While they certainly do offer compassion, 

their entire message is one of people who get this 

cancer being able to be victors, and not victims !!

Not only does the National Breast Cancer Foundation 

offer support and inspiration for those who have cancer 

but they offer support and inspiration for the families 

and friends of people who have cancer or who have 

died with cancer. 

Most of all,  they don't suggest that they should not 

grieve but they offer them support and inspiration 

in getting on with their lives while they are grieving.

The National Breast Cancer Foundation is a 

group that celebrates life, and encourages people to 

be all that they can be and offers a brilliant pink light 

in the midst of darkness.

So if you are lost and confused,

then head to this organization to help you cope.
