the problem
Sick of same-old/same-old real estate blog Wanted a blog that fit my lifestyle & that of my
friends/peers/clients/potential Found that my clients and sphere are more inspired by
an area, a neighborhood, things to do than by individual houses

the idea
Create a site that would attract the types of clients I want to work with

Find a way to network without talking real estate – thinking relationships first, business second

integration
Create a Facebook Page to compliment your site (existing OR new)
Cultivate fans – use the “Suggest to Friends” link to invite your closest family, friends and trusted clients to like you page – let the rest follow organically.
Share your site’s content on your Facebook Page, but also use your Page to create conversation.

your reach
If you build it, they will come. Your Facebook Page content will only be visible to
those who “like” the page – don’t count on it as a prospecting tool.
Link your website/blog to your Facebook Page (via the Like Button tool) and regularly link your Facebook Page content to your site to drive traffic there.

branching out
Use other social media platforms to touch more people, cultivate fans, and spread your message.
Decide which you’re most comfortable with and which are most useful in your target area.
Choose wisely – you can’t do it all.

warning:don’t do 365
Why you should not do “365 Things To Do in (INSERT YOUR CITY HERE)”
Trust me.You don’t have the time.You don’t need to do it.You can think of something better.

what you should do
Find your niche – a hobby, a nonprofit, an interest, a specific area or part of your town.
Be consistent – every day is not realistic, but make a schedule and stick to it.
Don’t rely on social media or blogging – regardless of your online success, there’s nothing like face-to-face.

why it matters
You don’t have to talk about real estate 24/7 – gain credibility and respect by attracting those with common interests – then talk real estate.
Be seen as the local expert – in more than just days on the market and average sales price.
Good publicity is priceless – and it does not have to be real estate-related.

takeaways
Do something different. Don’t worry if others follow suit – they won’t do it as
well as you do anyway. Do acknowledge that there’s more to your life – and
your clients’ lives – than real estate, there are better ways to connect.
Do realize that your Facebook page can’t do it all.
