This is really bad and I hate to admit it – I just killed 2.5 minutes watching a video posted on Facebook by the National Women’s Council of Realtors - it was cute and in the holiday spirit. Singing pets – with over 2 million viewers! So, there were more than just me who killed 2.5 minutes this afternoon …. but it got me to thinking – how could you use video to spice up your holidays? or selling season for that matter. Video cameras are inexpensive (bet most of you have them on your phone). And YouTube is free! WIN-WIN!!

Your YouTube account can also have your own customized channel  page to house all your videos!Which makes it very easy to link into your site and blog.

So, what kind of movie magic could you make?

• Activities in and of your communities to entice buyers to come to your area.
• Developments you want to invite potential clients to look at.
• How to’s … instead of having people land on your site and click a print out – go through the steps in a video. For first time home buyers, this could be extremely helpful. Also, for sellers – how to stage their own property.
• Also, if you don’t want to do a movie video, there are free programs that will put together a movie of still photos. Instead of a virtual tour of a home, it could be of your community. Then post it on your website or blog to show off your town(s)!

The possibilities are endless and would show why you’re the agent to use! Oh, you can still use pets in your videos, but have them sign your praises!

Oh what a tangled web we weave once the first we do ….. get on the Social Media Band Wagon!  One links to this one , then that one – post on this – forward on that – post? repost? toast? tweet? retweet? RETREAT? Blog on this – Blog on that – comment on this and Who’s on first??? What’s on second.

Putting together your Social Media campaign can be very very intimidating and daunting to the point it gets put on the back burner …..

How can you ride this Circus, I mean Band Wagon? Here is a little diagram to help clear the webs ….

(There are sites which say they post everything all at once, but for the most part, I’m not impressed with the look of how it is posted that way)

You want and need the web presence, but  it IS overwhelming and very time consuming. How can you keep up with your website and blog content using Social Media AND work with current clients effectively?

Assign someone to do this for you today – tomorrow – everyday or every other day. Whether you do this yourself or have someone do it for you, your goal is to have everything pointing to YOUR website for the best Organic Search Engine Optimization (not pay for click).  With this, not only are you gaining great web presence organically for client searches, but your content will be useful showing why potential clients should choose you above your competition.you are out there working with clients.
