To all of our readers, we owe a bit of an apology.  We have been out and about and have ignored contributing posts here to our blog.  We certainly haven’t been out of the game, we have been sharing tips, methods, and techniques on real estate marketing throughout the country. We wanted to share a little insight on what we have been up to and give you some idea of where we are going to take this blog over the next year.  The past 8+ months have been an interesting ride and we look forward... 

We went just a few minutes past our alloted 15 minutes today, but it was worth while to get some extra sharing in today.  We hammered some fun topics today and broke down some barries so you don’t have to.  Here is what we covered on the call today. Grow your business one lead at a time - This article from RealtyTimes shows staying in touch doesn’t have to be painful and it will help you get more business.  So if it’s so easy why does everyone avoid it? Listen in for some answers. Stop... 

Today’s post is from someone you have heard on our 15 minutes of Madness calls, Christain Stefferud of Master My Marketing.  He travels all across the country helping people with their online marketing efforts.  Some of those clients are real estate agents and some of those are small businesses.   Read on and see how you can get some easy leverage in your business…. I chose that title because it describes the age of working smart and the freedom to generate income from anywhere... 

Ok, a little late getting this post up, but I did really want everybody to have access to the call that we did last Friday.  If you haven’t had a chance yet to join us on Facebook, then consider joining our group and keep up to date on the latest methods to get the most out of your online real estate marketing efforts. We had a bang up call where we hammered topics that were featured in the Wall Street Journal.  You will discover some of the following: How to bridge the gap in today’s... 

For those of you who have been around when Joe and I speak, you have probably heard us mention improving your online marketing results by getting into Directories.  The main challenge with getting results through directories is finding a quality directory to join!  Many of the traditional real estate directories out there have been down graded by Google as they offered little value other than being a link farm. Before I get in to what makes a quality directory, let me share a little about a directory... 

The phrase “content is king” rings loudly across the internet.  For the most part it is certainly true because if your content is compelling (and people actually view it) you can quickly develop raving fans across the globe.  But, the best content in the world can be hurt by poor presentation.  Remember in school when you had to to a term paper?  If you felt your paper was only average you might take the time to purchase a better binder to put it, make sure the cover page looked excellent,... 

The 5th day of challenging yourself and learning new skills is upon you.  We hope that you have already started to see some changes in your business.  If you haven’t noticed any change, ask yourself the question “Have I really pushed my limits and implemented change in my business?“.  The pursuit of mastery is one that is often overlooked in today’s age of “I must have it now“.  Pursuing mastery is a concept that is evident in time honored traditions like the... 

In order to succeed in business you need to care about the needs of your customers.  Putting the needs of your customers first and foremost will lead to more business than you ever imagined.   The group of online entrepreneurs took the aspect of providing more value to customers to the extreme.  You see, when you focus on value to the customer there are benefits that you get to enjoy.  It sounds almost counter intuitive that when you focus on how you can help that it actually benefits you, but... 

Being in the land of gurus I felt that everyone had mastered the latest of technologies available.  I knew that each one ran a major business online and to do such they had learned a myriad of skills and probably kept up on just about everything to maintain their competitive advantage.  Of course we were all there to learn more so it was revealed that we often share the same struggles with learning.  Each of the businesses operated in a different niche so they had different approaches to advertising,... 

Follow up seems to be one of those ugly words in the world of real estate.  After all, “if people really want to work with me, I shouldn’t have to track them down” is the mantra of many an agent.  Many of those agents, sadly, are now out of the business.  Let’s face it though, even for the top agents follow up isn’t one of the most fun activities.  Thinking of following up with prospects is a rather dim prospect.  I mean to pick up the phone calling and leaving...
