Business2.com.au turns 10 and we want you!

At Christmas this year it will be 10 years since I penned my first post on a Commodore PET…… well not really, but come January 12th 2012 it will be 10 years since we wrote that first post on a website powered by Movable Type, by 2003 I had a whopping 15 posts and received my first comment, you can only imagine my excitement! By late 2004 things certainly started to roll a certain Real Estate Portal CEO can be thanked for this, he politely took umbrage to a post and this garnered a few comments and from there things started to move along nicely. We have always welcome comments from people inside and out of the industry whose views may oppose our own, in fact the success of our site depends on those views.

Our Mantra

Simply put, we do not really have one, but our focus is and has always been on what is good for real estate agents both in the online world and in everyday business. We do not play favourites and as proof we have approved over 99.9% of all comments. In fact, out of more than 10,000 comments we have only had to hold back less than a handful (some for very obvious legal reasons). We do get quite a few complaints (including multiple threats of legal action) about certain comments but these are usually from pretty thin skinned people, however we always try to keep everything as sensible as possible. Our focus will remain the same… however….. Over the years we have added multiple authors and Ryan, Glenn, Dave, Greg and now Charlie have become regular contributors and are an invaluable asset to business2 and our community. We now have some 32 people who have contributed in one way or another to the site and we would like to see our regulars list continue to build over time.

We want you!

We want content contributors from across the real estate spectrum whether you are an agent specialising in certain areas, a software developer, service provider, portal or just a real estate enthusiast! Remember blogging just isn’t for Christmas, so we are looking for people who have ideas and want to share them with others. Click here to Apply

Note:Business2.com.au is not a chest thumping publicity forum, you and your company will get recognition by the quality of your articles (and your profile), self promotion or product promotion does not work anyway, so the focus can relate to your companies products or services but it cannot be the focus of the article.

Business2.com.au Version 5

We have had a number of iterations of Business2.com.au over the years and we will celebrate our 10th birthday early with a new release in the very near future. The focus of the new release will be on fostering deeper discussions, social integration, cleaner layout, better flow and cleaner typography and a nice little contributors section. We will also be releasing a new version of our supplier directory with a free area and also a premium area for companies that wish to further showcase their brand, products and services on a deeper level to real estate agents and professionals
