Timeshares - the best way to have a guaranteed vacation every year is to have a TIMESHARE. If you ever get bored with one place - swap it out for another! This 113 page EBOOK gives you selected tips on how to manage your timeshare! Maybe even how to obtain one! Why Time Shares Make Sense A vacation time share is more popular than ever. The largest and most respected companies in the resort industry are now selling time share resort condos. Marriott and Disney have produced blistering sales statistics, among others. The fact that strong consumer legislation now governs the timeshare industry, combined with the fact that solid developers are now the rule, has given the time share industry the stability once only accorded to luxury hotels. Following are reasons why time shares are so popular: • Stay without paying: Time share owners are delighted when they check out at the end of their week's stay, because their bill is ZERO! (And zero for the rest of their lives because they OWN their accommodation as deeded property!) The money saved here quickly pays back the low initial purchase price. • Not just a hotel room: As opposed to being a hotel room renter, enjoy status and fine treatment as a condo owner. It's a much higher style of vacation. Condos are spacious, have kitchens and private bedrooms. Sleep up to 10 persons. Most resorts have great activities/tours all arranged and often free. Spend your time enjoying vacationing. Save the hours and hassle of planning, because it has already been done for you. • Save money on dining out: Because the condos have kitchens, a family can easily save $100 a day by not dining in expensive restaurants for every meal. • No extra charges: There is no charge for extra people like there would be in a hotel, and no extra costly occupancy taxes so common with hotels. • Earning income: Owners can rent-out their time rather than using it. The Importance Of Advertising Whether it’s a Web site, advertisement, or other marketing collateral, we’ve heard that a picture is worth a thousand words. Having a visual of the product enhances marketing communication, we’re told, because people don’t have time to read. People seldom fail to read most of the advertising copy they come across, but that’s because of the hype that’s part of most ad copy, not people’s lack of time to read. In a study of 3,600 consumers, researchers concluded that to get people to notice an ad, text was twice as important as pictures. Buyers of your time share are interested in reading about your services, but you must grab their attention. What’s new about your offering? What’s your story? Is there news? What’s most important is that the fluff be ruthlessly eliminated from your ad copy, Web page or other marketing communication. If you include hype and half-truths about the time share that you are selling, you make it nearly impossible for buyers to separate the wheat from the chaff. The result: a lost sale. Ten different studies have shown that when the bull is stripped from what you are selling, consumer interest skyrockets. Of course, other studies have shown that long ad copy does work when selling products and services. When it comes to selling your time share, though, to improve your buyer’s rate of interest, make every word count. And remember that the “right” words, not just any words, are the ones that sell. Time Share Selling Options There are several options when it comes to using your time share or selling it. One option you have is exchanging your time share. Exchanging Your Time Share Your home resort is the destination you return to year after year. Some people prefer to vacation only in their home resort with no variation. But for many other people, time share is especially attractive because of the exchange factor: You have the chance to stay in a different place in the world every year. Time share exchange companies allow time share owners to trade their week with a time share week in a different location. Keep in mind that exchange companies prefer that trades are generally “like for like,” and rank high demand/low demand destinations with devices like color codes and industry ratings. It may be hard to trade your week in a low-demand resort during the low season for a high demand resort in high season, although it can happen — and it’s all a matter of personal preference and flexibility anyway. Orlando, Florida, may be as high demand as a destination can be (and it doesn’t get any hotter), but that doesn’t necessarily mean you want to vacation there. Even though you may be purchasing your time share with the express purpose of trading or exchanging, the mantra in timeshare is this: The power of your exchange is dependent solely on what you put into the system, not what you take out. In other words, the power of your exchange is dependent on how desirable your time share week is to other traders.

Selling By Auction In just over 18 months, more than 20,000 listings for new and existing homes have been posted on eBay. On average, an eBay posting generates more than 1,000 viewings per property, but there's no way of knowing how many postings result in actual sales. EBay Inc. executives say the company doesn't keep track of concluded transactions. In addition to new and existing homes, the postings include land, vacation homes, and time shares. You don't have to be wealthy to buy or sell at an online real-estate auction and this venue can be the perfect place for you to sell your time share. Should you buy, or sell, a time share on eBay? Or is it too risky? Before you decide to participate in an online auction familiarize yourself with the rules of the road. The format for eBay real-estate auctions is different from those usually used on eBay. For starters, a bid to buy or sell real estate on eBay isn't legally binding. A bid on eBay for a property merely expresses your serious interest in the purchase and indicates that you want to proceed to final negotiations for the property. Neither the seller, nor the buyer, has a legal obligation to actually complete the real-estate transaction. The Internet is an effective medium for advertising time shares, but has its flaws when it comes to the actual sales transaction. The lack of a binding agreement is an issue. In most traditional auctions, bidders must bring a cashier's check for the deposit. When that gavel comes down, the buyer is locked in, and the deal closes at a predesignated time.
