Eat The Competition!

No, I'm not a real loan shark but I do play one on TV. Don't try this at home unless you have the proper Logitech Desk Cam Set Up. I'm enjoying sending videos with EyeJot (www.eyejot.com). Eyejot is very e-mail friendly for your clients and favorite Realtors. About 70% of the Realtors that I work with work virtually, so I rarely get to see them in person. The video e-mails is a great way for us to get to know one another better. And why would that matter you may be asking...well, because... people do business with other people they like. It's as simple as that. Marketing idea number 7,521! Melissa Breeland Residential Mortgage of SC Direct: (843) 991-6532 www.TheMortgageMaven.com

PhotoBucket is Phun!

If you have not yet tried www.photobucket.com give it a shot. I think it is fantastic! You can add creative photos to your Windows Movie Maker clips for some truly inspiring YouTube fun or try some "out of the box" marketing flyers. I am exploring all sorts of new viral video ideas and the possibilities are endless. Stay tuned...I'm on a mission. I will either drive everyone completely insane with my marketing or I will begin to develop some more business. It's a toss up. DISCLAIMER: If you are a Loan Officer I encourage you to FIRST call on as many top producing Realtors as it takes to schedule four lunches for next week BEFORE you start playing around in PhotoBucket or YouTube. Four lunches will be fine and on the 5th day you will have a little free time to post comments to my blogs. Best of luck to you. We’re in this together! Funny Mel

Dont be shy...sometimes the understated signature is the best. I used Microsoft "Paint" to do this one and "Image Chef" custom FREE banners for the bottom one.
