Blogging for Business-This Broker has Seen the Light

As the owner of a new and growing realty franchise, I have had the pleasure of heading up our company blog. There are two main tips I learned along my journy of increasing our website traffic considerably simply by blogging:

1) Be consistent- Most Realtors blog once or twice then stop. Blogging consistently at least once a month, if not once a week, will increase your web traffic considerably. Of the dozens of real estate franchises for sale, Area Pro Realty has one of the top blog for numerous keywords. How did I do this? Among having a great tech team in the office, blogs was a huge part of it. There are many real estate franchise opportunities but unless people know about you and your services, no one will ever find out, so blogging is a great way to help your search engine ranking.

2) Use keywords- If you blog about the same subject every time, your audience (if you have one) will get bored. However, you can use the same keywords and phrases every time you blog. This helps search engines like Google and Bing to find out what message you are trying to tell your audience. Thus if someone goes to Bing.com and searches for the keywords you are blogging about, BAM, your website comes up. So, pick your keywords carefully, they should be local and of course, relating to real estate.

A new book has been released that will help Realtors market themselves online. The book is entitles Social Networking for Authors-Untapped Possibilities for Wealth.  

This book is intended to help the millions of authors and Realtors around the world sell books on the Internet via social networking (i.e. Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn, etc).  As an author and Realtor, I have learned that great writing doesn't sell books, great marketing does. This book even helps brokers grow a real estate brokerage franchise.

Even though the title targets authors, it works for anyone who has a service to sell online, and is perfect for Realtors.

As the owner of a real estate franchise, I know how important it is to create a brand amongst yourself. You, as an individual real estate agent are a brand and once you realize that and embrass it, is the moment your career will truly change. Owning a realty franchise is parallel to being a Realtor.  Our job is to build a brand that people trust, respect and will be loyal to for life.

Out of all the real estate franchises for sale, Area Pro Realy has embraced social networking in a way that directly helps Realtors.  This new book is just another tools that proves how far Area Pro will go to stress social networking.

Michael Volkin is a social networking expert and President of Area Pro Realty, a new innovative real estate franchise.

A large part of social networking is the grouping of individuals into a particular group of interest. People join websites like Facebook and MySpace to find people of similar interests. All social networking websites allow users to connect to each other via buttons and groups. The more friends you have on these websites, the bigger your network is.

I finished an experiment a few months ago which proved beneficial to my real estate business. My first goal was to make over 100 friends a week. The concept here was the more friends I had the bigger my network and the more people would hear about my real estate services. But the reverse happened. Even though I was adding many friends, none of those friends got any personal attention. After several more experiments, I found the perfect number. If you use 4 different social networking sites to make 12 friends per week (in your target market), by contacting each friend at least 3 times your sphere of influence will increase dramatically. Each friend is getting enough personal attention to be interested in you and your real estate knowledge. But, the benefit doesn't stop there. Those friends will tell their friends and so on and so forth. In essence, you gave the perfect amount of people a small bit of attention, enough for them to be interested in you. The next time they think about real estate, they will think about you.

Give it a try for one month, it takes a bit of persistence but it works.
