Unique Property Bulletin …
Editorial – Unique Edge
Well, here we are. A new feature [though technically this online editorial part started in last week’s fundraiser edition]. Prior to this new editorial part restarting now, we have to go back to the 1980s and 1990s to the old paper format of the Unique Property Bulletin to catch even a small piece of editorial. In effect our overhauled online version if the Bulletin is going back to the future on this.
OLD PAPER FORMAT BULLETIN FRONT PAGE STYLE ….
Unique Property Bulletin: Paper Version (c) 2014 Unique Property Bulletin
Looking through the back catalogue of old paper Bulletins it is clear that there was much more editorial content directed to helping unique people find unique property, than our past 112 online editions. Even though our page header tagline is Unique Property For Unique People! So here we start. The old online fulsome text descriptions for each property have been completely thinned down, to fit in with the received wisdom of internet reading: fast scan, then hovering over paragraphs of interest, then take action. The old paper version had more editorial within the pages and elements of help in finding, funding and having fun with unique property [where have we heard that before]. This overhaul is long overdue for the online Bulletin.
OLD PAPER FORMAT BULLETIN INTERIOR PAGE STYLE….
Bulletin: Editorial & Real Life Adventures (c) 2014 Unique Property Bulletin
Moving from examples of our paper format Bulletin, and old online version – the new look online Bulletin contains around 8 unique properties each week. All now have a weblink that already features the full property description on the destination website. So why repeat everything by adding it to our site? The worry of losing useful information by including on the Bulletin website if any forward links go offline is remedied by the …
Way Back When Machine
Now we can have a simple listing format: Photo; Address; Price; Weblink; Telephone Number.
This means we save a significant amount of the finite volunteer time to dedicate in other areas. Hence this added editorial section. Each week we will have a narrative featuring something in the news, or a unique interest matter flagged up, or a way to help your ability to find that unique home. Other than acquiring a copy of the Unique Property Manual – which, by the way, just helped a reader secure a £300,000 breathtakingly unique home. All for £6.85 plus P&P!
Unique Property Manual (c) 2014 Unique Property Bulletin
The essence of Editorial – Unique Edge is to be interesting and useful. As is our mantra: to help readers find, fund and have fun with unique property.
Unique Editorial Contains Unique Adventures
As the editorial in our old fashioned paper version of the Bulletin illustrates, within this section could be found adventures. The one from Series 3 Issue 9 was real. Here is a sample of what that adventure actually looked like …
Landing At The New Light Houses – Bliss (c) 2014 Stephen Clark

Ailsa Craig Island: Railway Winch House (c) 2014 James Towill
This is just one relevant example of progressing the interest of our readers with a new editorial section, and how this might be of assistance to you being able to live in your choice of unusual property.
How so? This Unique Property Bulletin isn’t Shakespeare, but it must have some small merit given the numbers visiting have registered at our webhost provider with over 25,000,000 individual photograph equivalent downloads since we transferred the Unique Property Bulletin online in November 2011.

So where are we going with this piece of editorial? For starters, a brobdingnagian sized thank you to all of the readers who contributed £2 to our fundraiser last week – there is still time to help if you haven’t already managed to get around to it. By helping this not-for-profit website and the eccentric volunteers, please consider a £2 donation. The webhosting service bill needs paying – we need you 🙂
Asides from the primary reason for the fundraiser, the result was interesting on an unexpected level.
First, it is incredibly important for the volunteers at this end of the Unique Property Bulletin to express a heartfelt, and humbling gratitude to the volume of donations which we had not anticipated. Our webhosting fees are certainly looking a lot healthier for all the kind donations in so far.
But what hit home is how the internet may transform the lives of our readers.
Unique Livelihood
Twenty five years ago I can recall a big problem after people found a unique home, but were unble to earn a living due to remoteness. So their plans were sadly thwarted. Now with broadband and the internet, this can cure that problem. The example of Unique Property Bulletin isn’t a perfect one. We are running a not-for-profit website with volunteers. But the analytics show something meaningful. The download statistics are a fact we can rely on. It forms part of the invoice we fundraised last week for, and you just helped dent with some style! Asides from last week’s Bulletin fundraiser, please take a moment to reflect on your own potential livelihood online. If we can manage 25,000,000 downloads for a small obscure website, perhaps your idea – a business idea as opposed to non-profit model, can stand a chance at becoming your livelihood? Thereby helping you and your family being able to live in a remote, unique home. Though you might not even want to have anything to do with computers. There are television programmes devoted to moving folk from this ….

Slightly Less Traffic: Mostly Four Legged (c) 2014 Oliver Dixon
To this ….
Traffic Jamless: Calm and Carefree Quality of Life (c) 2014 Lynn Kirton
After such a move, anything motorised, electronic, or to do with the high stress of city living may just be a turn off. For all that, it could also be a technical turn on. If it gives you the key to a livelihood as well as that truly unusual home you have been searching for.
If you like the thought of living a unique lifestyle – and it happens to be remote – unless you have a super annuity, mega-pension or lottery win, then a earning a living can be an issue.
Whatever your view of computers, and we have complete technophobes here, we cannot argue with the ability of the Web to help people. So how do you know if you have a viable livelihood online?
The best advice is learn how to operate a suitable internet system – if we can do it, you will be able to.
Then take your idea for a test drive. At the most basic level, to register a brand new domain name costs as little as £6 [some special packages even go for one penny]. Though please be very cautious. Rule 1: Never ever register your domain name with the same company that hosts your website. If a problem with either your domain registrar or your hosting company arises, by splitting the risk between two providers – the Domain Registrar and separately the Domain Webhost Service – you can recover your position if either goes pear shaped. Avoid putting all your eggs in the one basket is important advice.
This leads us onto the webhost element that you will need. Please study the webhost fees for future increases in visitor numbers. Especially for example whether your regular 30,000 readership service host can cope with a surge of an additional 10,000 to 20,000 visitors following a [very welcome] spike if your website ends up receiving media coverage on the BBC or a national newspaper.
Without turning article into a full thesis or treatise, the current Unique Edge Editorial is about as much as we can include in this part for now. But we will return to this important subject – and many others in a bid to assist our readers.
If your web business idea is a good, one with a decent level of confidence that you can make it with an internet business, then the internet and web-living may be the cure that evaded us and Bulletin readers during editorial featured 20 years ago in the old paper version of the Bulletin. Escaping to the Country, especially a unique home in the rural beauty of Britain had problems way back then in the lack of jobs and ways to make a living. Now with online business and the internet, there is a remedy.
Hopefully, this new Unique Edge Editorial will make a meaningful and positive difference for our readers. This means a lot to us. Please remember you can always email us us with ways to improve this online facility
All the very best,
Russ McLean
