It was lots of fun to write this blog 8 years ago... I was new on LinkedIn and still rather new in the self-publishing arena, and this blog was about these two adventures.
Many things have happened since then:
- My LinkedIn profile
http://www.linkedin.com/in/olgakellen is still alive and well, but long ago I stopped doing anything to specifically grow my network as at some point it had taken care of itself. I've got several marketing and translation clients from LI, but do not spend time on the site anymore.
- 8 years ago I started my professional translation website
http://www.english-and-russian.com/ and that was the reason that I abandoned anything else and applied all my time and efforts to this project. Pretty soon the site turned its course and became a marketing-to-Russians venue with the accent on selling international real estate to Russian buyers:
http://www.english-and-russian.com/find-russian-buyers.html . The site got up to the top positions in Google for the keywords like "Russian buyers", "Russian brokers", "Russian real estate agents" and other similar terms.
- Having acquired lots of experience in international marketing of real estate and written lots of texts in this business area I just recently started to sort it all out and create e-books on various topics in the field:
http://www.english-and-russian.com/foreign-investors.html .
- So, we may actually say that I'm back to self-publishing, this time on Amazon Kindle:
http://www.amazon.com/author/olgakellen . This is the new
*E-Series:
How to Beat Your Competition Selling Real Estate to Foreign Buyers*. The E-Series will eventually summarize All-One-Has-to-Know
to successfully market and sell real estate to international buyers. Each
e-book centers on a particular aspect of marketing and selling properties to
international buyers.
-
The

Book 1. *How to Find the Best Foreign Realtors and Make
Your Offer of Cooperation in Sale Irresistible to Them* is a complete guide for
marketing and selling international properties with the help of foreign

Book 3. *How to Sell Real Estate to the Russians* is
