You are weighing the advantages and disadvantages:

Advantages:

• widen your reach for new buyers, listings, investors
• grow your business
• close the gap on competition

Disadvantges:

• you must learn something new
• you feel vulnerable
• it’s going to cost something to get into it
• how much?
• how long before I see results?
• what can you expect short and long term?

If you knew what I know   . . . today, your real estate business would be through the roof!   Internet marketing can show you how to get

1. 10-15 new listings a day
2. attract investors to you
3. easily find motivated buyers and sellers
4. build relationships that will have your target niche eating out of your hands

No matter how long you’ve been in the real estate arena, you’ve got something that others are looking for.  In the brick and mortar world, the only way to let people know you exist are strategies that cost an arm and a leg to launch.  Direct mail, personal meetings, spending time in networking organizations.  It costs you both time and money to carry on business in the traditional brick and mortar world.

The internet is the place where you can make money while you sleep.  I know, I know. . .you’ve heard that one before – and, it’s true.  You’ll see it when you’ve experienced it.

Doesn’t matter what your niche is:  investment property; residential property; commercial property.  The internet is a game changer for business.  Even the real estate business.

This web site is dedicated to acclimating you to the language of online real estate marketing and how you can enter this special business world yourself.

Welcome to my world.

okay so heres the deal, i love the concept of marketing and i’ve taken many classes on it in highschool, i did everything like DECA and any activity that had anything to do with marketing….but right now im working in a property management office and i love it! Is it possible to go to college and major in like business marketing or something so that i can have that competitive advantage or what? Im playing volleyball of course i have to go to college at least for a year. But what are your suggestions….and i know the market isnt the greatest right now but i might now be a realtor maybe do something with property management? Any thoughts suggestions would be so great!

Leslie, Always will to help a fellow DECA alum. You do not need a degree to be a Realtor, but it sure helps, High dollar houses are bought by people with college degrees and want to work with people that are just like them. You are very young GET YOUR EDUCATION. Stay in the property management office, it is a steady source of income and you are working more with service issues. Being a Realtor is pure sales. You need psych courses and many sales courses. Your real training will come with classes, however the more letters in front of your name the more credibility you will have and the more high dollar and commercial deals you will attract. Here is another tip that nobody will tell you. Go through a Real Estate book you find at the supermarket. You will find the best looking women have the most awards in front of their name, stay in shape, those are the rules, don’t complain, take advantage of them! I am going to give you some great books to read, you are hungry for information, so here you go!!! Good luck to you!!!

I want to know what is the most cost-effective, efficient and scalable way to promote the service to real estate agents.

Marketing ideas we are considering and evaluating are:
1. Direct Mail Using Postcards
2. Email (Opt-out) marketing
3. Fax Marketing
4. Sponsorships

Not sure which are most effective or which real estate agents are most open to. Would love to get some input. We want to get their message out since everyone who uses it loves it out but they don’t want to be too intrusive or have our message considered spam.

We would love creative ideas to reach large numbers of real estate professionals inexpensively.

Real estate agents use Multiple Listings to sell their services. They all have web sites too.

Direct mail had been proven to be useless in marketing studies. Fax marketing is just plain annoying. Email is spam.

Forget about it.

Good luck!

One more thing, maybe you can get a new realtor involved, and explain the situation, see if they have any suggestiongs and the incentive is they get your business.

My website is:

www.ruizgroup.com

Look http://www.paidtoclick.in and advertise your website there.
I found it through an article that specifically listed as a good website that sells high quality traffic. I purchased 50000 visitors to my website, and noticed the difference before I even checked my logs! I am so glad that I finally found a way to market my website that can be done quickly. I know I’ve found a working method!

I just wanted to say how impressed I was with there service. My campaigns were set up promptly and delivered as promised. I was impressed with the results as well. I purchased traffic for two of my websites and I received over 21450 signups for the first website and over 31030 signups for the second. (That’s less than $0.001 a lead! Try finding that elsewhere!).

There advertising works great. I’m using a direct landing page for my campaign and have been tracking every ad. A very high amount of visitors have been browsing my site and my conversion rates have gone up..

Ever since I began advertising with Quality Traffic Supply, my sales have greatly increased. Since I now have a steady source of traffic which is targeted to my content, I now get a good return on investment. There traffic has worked wonders for me. Every $1 I spend there I bring in another $30!

My advise to you is find out if your office assign areas to work in your office if not locate an area near your real estate office or as close as you can get. The area you are seeking should have a minimum of 5000 homes. Get your title officer to give you a farm package for that area. Staples can run you off about 5000 flyers for approximately $275 or somewhere in that area. If you can afford color flyers with a pic of yourself great.

On the flyer introduce yourself as the new real estate agent for the area and that you are there to assist in any real estate matters. You should also have a little bio about yourself. You can walk this area and put out the flyers yourself or hire some local kids to put out the flyers. Pass these flyers out at least 3 months in a row. Do not place these flyers in any mail boxes, use a rubber band to attach them to the door knobs.

Now that you have established yourself as the real estate agent for this area, your 4th or 5th correspondence should be a newsletter about your services. Your professional team might also want to add a column in this newsletter explaining their services. You should also seek from the post office a bulk mailing stamp.

To help pay for this newsletter remember those business owners that allowed you to put a flyer in there business. See if they want to advertise in your newsletter a business size ad 1/3 page ad or whatever. You might also want to get an attorney or tax preparer to run a paid column each month even a dentist of doctor explaining things about their proffession and how to prevent illiness of tooth decay or whatever.

Now find the local business in the same area, place these same flyers in the business that will allow you, make sure you leave a card with all the business people you speak with. You will be able to find holders for your flyers at staples or Office Depot. You should visit these business owners at least twice a month to change your literture and just to make sure your holder is neat and in order and still full.

Once your flyers have been placed you should start assembling yourself a team of professionals that can help you in your business. You are not limited to these but you need an attorney, a loan officer (Not one that work in your office if your office do loans as well as real estate-but an independent, there are things you will be doing with this person that perhaps you can not do with one that is in your office), a title officer, a tax preparer or CPA, an escrow or closing officer (escrow officer) a home insurance agent, a notary and anyone else you think you need to assist you in your professional career. Now you should give them some of your business cards and you take some of their business cards. You should pass out their business cards to people that you run into that need their services. They should be willing to pass out your business cards to people they meet that might need your services. You should call or meet these individuals at least once per week.

This is not a quick way to get a listing but a way for you to establish yourself as an expert in real estate in your area. The listings will come as time goes on. Sell yourself.

I hope this has been of some use to you, good luck.

"FIGHT ON"

I am new to online marketing and since our professional reputation is important I don’t want to start off on the wrong foot. We are on an advertising budget -most off which has already been allocated for other things so I do need to be careful here.

Any advice? Thanks!

YES: It is totally acceptable. Make certain to note your address & Phone number in the E-mail. Most people like doing business with people that are local. The old fashion way is flyers left in the door.

When you get a job on a street set it up for 2 days or more in the future. Use the time to tell the neighbors by flyers about the service and note that you will be in the area at xxx time, offer a minor discount. Please be certain to note your address and Phone no., also they must call to get discount.

I am sure you realize that this activity, is only for name reconization. These customers will need something that keeps your major service in their minds. The most easiest I know of is magnetic strips that you tape your business card to. They are placed on refrigrator doors. A package of 20 cost about $5.00 at Office depo, Staples, office supply shop.

The same approach can be used for an annual drain cleaning, (Snake all major drain lines from property to main). Real good service where leaves fall from trees.

Related service Bi-annual drain clean, my kitchen drain fills with grease, the bath sink gets clog with hair, this service can be done quick, cheap, and net a good look for other services. At lease you will have a happy customer that will refer you to others. Don’t forget the business card.

BUSINESS CARD: Asign each customer a number. They write it on ten business cards of your, they give the business card to someone. When that person call for a job, you give the customer a LABOR free winterizing. The customer pays for the material but there is no cost for labor.

Hope these ideas grow your business quickly. One other tip: Convert employees to independant contractors. Have them provide their own basic tools and approved tranportation. All business contracts are to be operated through your office, no side contracts unless approved.

2. Call a professional business writer to help you hammer it into shape. You’ll find these people in ad agencies and public relations firms.
