Seriously...Realtors, don't spend money on ads like this...


Does your ad state that you are" the greatest," "work hard for your clients," "specialize in such-and-such properties"? Truly...all agents say something to that effect and honestly it's not all that interesting...or eye catching! Most people gloss over these type of ads since they are a dime a dozen.

It's sad, because advertising ain't cheap, is it? So if you're going to do it, why not say something of value. For example, if you run an ad in your local paper or city magazine, tell people what's going on in the market and give them a reason to stop and read your ad! It doesn't have to be long and wordy (by all means, keep it brief), but a little section that gives a glimpse into something that local area residents would be interested in would be a key component.

You could tell them what areas are selling, what price ranges, how to stage their homes for quick sale, who in town offers the best moving services or good deals on moving supplies...there's a bevy of great info you can pull together and use in your ad vs. just the same, typical stuff all the other agents are doing!

Everything You Should Know Publishing Package for Wanna Be Top Selling Authors

I got the package and I'm making my way through the videos. My thoughts thus far: 1. Lots of info! I got the Platinum package and so far I'm impressed with the amount of info. 2. As usual, there's sales info for other packages, but so far I've gotten a good amount just from this without buying more (which I'm not apt to do.) 3. Seriously, Mike Koenigs...don't give advice on dressing right now. Your way-too-big blue shirt didn't make you look like a pro; it just made you look silly. If this is the strategy behind "dressing for the everyman" that you take, it seems really, really dumbed down. I think we can all handle you in a well-fitting shirt. (See video #2 for this.) 4. On a good note, Mike: You're a good speaker and easy to listen to. I like the message. Goes double for Arielle. Wish I could still hire Arielle Ford as publicist (could I even afford her?). She knows the biz. Unfortunately (see previous posting), the biz changed...

Are Ezines Dead? No! Easy Ezine Marketing

SEWING A FRIENDSHIP http://natalietinti.com/   Marketing Tips: One Way to Give Yourself a Break! As a busy entrepreneur one thing is certain: You're busy, you're stressed and you're sometimes overwhelmed. The last thing you have time for this week is sitting down to write an informative and perfectly edited ezine article. Yet you want to keep in touch with your customers and cannot afford not to write one. Writing an ezine that not only gets opened but read and even passed on to others isn’t always easy. It can be frustrating to set good goals only to not be able to carry them out due to time-constraints and good old fashioned writer’s block. Yet getting the time to put one together can be daunting. Tips to the rescue! Think about it…when was the last time you sat and read every word of a long email or ezine? You probably skimmed it for key points and got what you could out of it without actually reading every perfectly-chosen word. Who has the time? Ev...
