I help run an overseas property website at Homesgofast.com the site has been going for a few years with steady traffic and many clients. We are doing things the right way attracting the right type of people to our international property website. However it was not until we attracted the wrong type of folks that we saw our website traffic soaring off the graph.
Top Tip: The wrong type of people will also help you no matter the business or field of interest you are into.
You Need To Attract Nasty People
So who are the wrong types of folks?These people are determined to make someone’s day a misery. Take a moment right now and think of a persopn that makes your blood boil.

The Uncomfortable Truth
It was not until we experimented with the marketing of a luxury homes priced in millions that I learnt something different. What I learnt does not just apply to real estate it applies to all types of people and businesses that want to promote on the internet. We uploaded our millionaire home on YouTube . The wrong types of internet surfers were in fact our targeted audience. Here is what happened:
Nasty people wish people dead!

We had experimented with uploading luxury real estate on to Youtube before and typically our views over a month would be around 200- 400 maximum. Well this time we did something different by mentioning key words such as Cash , Money, Bad, criminal,’ millionaire’ ‘pimp’ ‘cribs’ ‘MTV’ ‘millionaire’s mansion’ we started to attract a different audience. This audience was the type of audience that would leave comments like ‘hope the owner died!’ this crib isn’t as big as mine’ any dead celebs live in this home? ‘Not enough gold taps for me’ this place is F--- Sh--! Our usual comments were along the lines of ‘what a beautifully appointed building’.
Let them reveal their nasty side on Youtube
The outragoues comments invited more comments and for the first time we had a situation where our views were flying through the roof. We had created a buzz!
In four weeks we had 62,000 individuals seeking out our videos. Now we had the attention of the masses our traffic started to rise. I hear you right now saying its quality traffic you want not quantity. Success raises your profile on Youtube. This is the key to getting in front of your targeted audience. It takes your video to be featured to receive honors and links to stand out from the crowd. The mere fact that this bitching and bad mouthing causes such a stir means your video will be shared.
Are we talking human nature?
It’s a fact human nature loves to bitch and moan rather than praise and wonder. We love to put people down the media make a good living from it. We all have a curiosity and peeping inside a luxury home is simply irresistible. Combining these forces of nature will help you to Youtube success
Raising your views gets you noticed by your wanted audience
The fact that our video was riding high meant that the potential buyers that we wanted now got to see our luxury home. This has translated into real people seeking high end real estate!
Its not good to say but it seems you need to be negative to win!
