40 SOME MUST-HAVES BEFORE YOU LAUNCH INTO SOCIAL MARKETING.

41 Create a Web Presence SEO Optimize For Best Results Provide Original Content Retain Visitor Interest

42 CREATE A WEB PRESENCE ACTION PLAN Before you get started, it s recommended your business has a website. You need to direct prospects from social media platforms to a home base. This is where prospects will be able to find out more information and be converted into leads. Without a website, it is very difficult to convert online leads. How will prospects contact you or find out more information on your services? You need to link each social platform to an online resource (your website) in order to develop and benefit from a social media network.

43 SEO OPTIMIZE FOR BEST RESULTS ACTION PLAN Optimally, you need a website with the ability to make pages easier to find for search engines (Google, MSN, Yahoo, etc.) If you already have a website, check to see if it has built-in search engine optimization capabilities the ability to modify the data that search engines pick up about your website. This is necessary to help match up to your prospects search criteria, and increase the number and quality of website visitors.

44 PROVIDE ORIGINAL CONTENT ACTION PLAN Updating your website frequently with fresh content will help to attract more searchers and search engines. It is the most overlooked item on a website, with some sites seemingly looking the same for years. If you want to continue delivering the same message to returning visitors, over time that message needs a refresh, a different approach or angle. Add new fresh bits of information from time to time, to increase your visitor's interest.

45 RETAIN VISITOR INTEREST ACTION PLAN A online virtual spokesperson is an actor or character that speaks on the behalf of your company to promote your products/services. They are most often used on a website s homepage to welcome visitors and highlight important features about your website. An online spokesperson can enhance the customer experience by adding a personal innovative touch to deliver your message. This feature introduces your homepage and helps guide visitors where you want them to go, conveying important information within seconds. It can help retain visitors once they land on your site, help them use built-in tools, or drive the call to action on lead forms. It also creates an engaging & memorable experience for visitors, and is proven to provide a consistent increase in customer action via: direct sales, positive response, page views or click-through s.

48 Getting started is easier than you think. Conversation is key. YOUR SOCIAL MARKETING ROADMAP

56 HOW WILL SOCIAL MARKETING HELP YOUR BUSINESS?

57 Social marketing will help you overcome roadblocks to success you may have already encountered, or soon will. The 3 P s of Social Marketing: Personal Networking, Personal Promotion and Property Promotion make up the 3-point strategy to help your business succeed in today s fast-paced marketplace. PERSONAL NETWORKING PERSONAL PROMOTION PROPERTY PROMOTION

58 PERSONAL NETWORKING ROADBLOCK Personal referrals are priceless commodities for anyone in sales. Yet, after some time you may discover that you ve made it fully clear to your personal contacts that you work in the real estate business. However, there are few leads in the pipeline. SOLUTION Network with people further outside your personal network. Contact acquaintances from elementary school, high school, college, old jobs, etc. Use social networking sites like Facebook to easily find/reconnect with people. People are usually more than happy to add a new friend to their network. Join and create Facebook groups and pages, and share your listings on your profile. The Facebook neighbourhoods application allows you to connect with people down to the development they live in, and list your properties in the neighborhood as well.

59 PERSONAL PROMOTION ROADBLOCK You are a exceptional Real Estate professional, with top notch negotiating skills, industry experience and a good track record. Yet, oftentimes you get the impression that nonreferral prospects may feel unsure about working with someone that wasn t referred to them. SOLUTION Showcase your skills online with LinkedIn, an application similar to Facebook. LinkedIn offers a more professional angle, as opposed to a social one. With a LinkedIn profile, you can post an online resume, accomplishments and credentials. The Recommendation function allows you to ask your contacts to write a personal review of their experience with your services.

60 PROPERTY PROMOTION ROADBLOCK Buyers and sellers typically search online for properties for sale, not for agents or agencies. Your properties are already advertised on the MLS, your corporate and personal site for their viewing needs. You feel like these are the only worthwhile places to display your listings, but you re still not satisfied with the level of exposure they are receiving. SOLUTION Take advantage of social media sites like YouTube, Facebook and LinkedIn to help share information with your online networks. Use photos and video to showcase properties for sale in an engaging way. Blog about a weekly feature property, its neighbourhood, schools and community information.

61 FINAL THOUGHTS

62 Social media and Internet technologies are changing standard business practice on a daily basis. Especially in times such as these, it s important to embrace and take advantage of new tools. If you choose not to, the next Broker will. I hope this webinar gives you a few ideas on how to increase your pipeline and leads, to help you prosper as a Real Estate professional in today s competitive marketplace. Make social media marketing work for your business, and reap the benefits of: client relationship building, online word-of-mouth advertising, brand awareness and more qualified sales.
