Vivastreet blog

When you think about selling your car or advertising your language course, you are probably aiming to get as many views as possible. Did you know that 65% of buyers or renters are friends… family or even colleagues! And what if you could instantly broadcast your listing to your friends across your social network and your email contacts?

With our new release we have added a sharing Facebook icon on the detail page of your ad so you are always just a click away from sharing an ad with your friends on Facebook. The first time you share on the network, you’ll have to go through a Facebook login/registration page that will connect your Vivastreet account with your Facebook account. After that, sharing is just a simple click away. When you post an ad your friends will be able to see your ad (including any pictures you have uploaded) right in their news feed.

I don’t know about you but lately here at VivaStreet we just have no idea what clothes to put on in the morning. Hat and scarf, T-shirt and shorts, or a combination of the lot?

This changeable weather is leaving us in a clothing quandary – not that we’re complaining, mind you. This week, Britain is in for a treat, as unseasonably warm weather looks set to hang around until the weekend, with temperatures soaring to a balmy 21C across the country!

One thing’s for sure though, these warm days are unlikely to stick around for long, driving us back to our mittens and scarves before you can say Jack Frost.

Don’t worry – why not pop onto Vivastreet and pick up some bargain winter woollies in our second hand clothes section. Or if you’re looking to sell off those jumpers and shirts you’ve never worn, and free up a little space to hang the Santa Claus outfit, then we have thousands of visitors every day browsing on our buy and sell section. In fact it’s one of our most popular sections on the website!

If you’re in need of a little inspiration for your Halloween costume this year, why not take your look from the millions of Michael Jackson devotees who recently took to the streets to re-enact the superstar’s classic Thriller video? Just in time for Halloween, fans gathered in cities around the globe for a synchronised dance-off complete with fake blood, scars and ghoulish outfits.

Desperate to take the prize for best outfit at this year’s Halloween party? Well Vivastreet is creaking with spooky Halloween fancy dress outfits – you can find everything you need on our website to complete that spine-tingling look. We’ve got plenty of spooky goings-on, with everything from latex devils masks, Beetlejuice face masks, to witches hats and witches broomsticks.

Plus if you feel like showing off your dance moves by putting on your very own version of Thriller, you can always check out what dance classes are happening in your local area to brush up on your moves…

Every week seems to bring more doom and gloom where the economy is concerned and the latest unemployment figures revealed that almost 2.5 million are out of work, with 1.6 million claiming unemployment benefit – the highest since 1997.

It’s tough at the moment for those people out of work but there are jobs out there despite reports suggesting otherwise.  VivaStreet.co.uk has seen a 46% rise in the number of new full-time jobs posted on the site and that’s great news for those of you out there actively looking for work.

We currently have a huge variety of jobs on the site, both full-time and part-time positions, from childcare and nanny jobs to marketing and accountancy jobs.

For those of you specifically looking for part-time positions, in September alone, there were 2,696 new part-time jobs advertised on the website.

Also, don’t forget you can post your CV on the website for free and create alerts so that you’re the first to hear whenever a hot new job is posted on the website.

Good luck!
