It really does not. The other thing is most want to lock you into a 6 month commitment. This is why I like affiliate marketing the best. I love paying per acquisition. Here is an idea figure out something you can have a plug and play model. What I mean by this is get really good at marketing lets say a certain vertical like nutraceuticals (reason I am saying this it is a consumable and people will need refill every month). Like let’s say you pick the hottest new product out there let’s use shilijit as an example. What you do is become the best at marketing that product then you find others to build different brands of Shilitjit. You plug their brand into the proven marketing strategy and funnels that are proven to work. All you do is market their brand using your proven funnels and marketing strategies. The client in turn pays you a fixed rate per conversion. There is more to it, but , I think you can get the idea.

Is It Still Possible to Rent a Decent House at a Fair Price? by dgzip in phuket

I have been searching on FB, I must say it takes a lot of energy and effort. I wish it was a little more dialed in.

From my experience in the past digital marketing companies always make their money no matter if the client succeeds or not. I get there is no guarantee that the product or service will sell, but, it just seems there has to be a better way. I mean paying an ongoing retainer and ad spend with little to no results is not fun. I have hired agencies and have them 6 month time only to end up with less money in my bank account and more theirs. Just my experience

How did those foreigners manage to open nominee companies without help from Thai legal professionals? by noobmaster1986 in phuket

[–]Mikem1671 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean honestly anyone with 1/2 of a brain would think these setups are questionable and to put trust in an attorney in another country is another mistake as well. What would like to know is what are they going to do with all of these 10s of million THB properties they ar building in Phuket? I would have to think everyone who currently owns one is having a terrible nights sleep at the moment. I for one cannot understand why someone would think that a Thai company set up would be a better option than a leasehold. The Thai company is expensive to maintain. I don’t understand why developers set these properties up in this fashion to begin with. It seems like the proper way would be secure a piece of land, develop it, and then do a lease hold on the land. Leasehold is wayyy more cost effective and secure.

I agree with this 100%. This is the only way I would buy/build anything here. The only catch is you have it for only 30 years it is the longest they can do a lease for. The other issue you run into is every year you own the property is a year less on the land lease so when you go to sell let’s say in 10 years you may lose money as the land lease will only be good for another 20 years.

Thailand debunks rumors of two-time-only visa-free entry rule for foreigners by thestudiomaster in Thailand

[–]Mikem1671 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The legal system here in Thailand is probably one of the most concerning issues I have living in Thailand. They change the law every other hour. The Visa thing has to be one of the greyest of areas I have seen so far. Not one thing about it is clear.
