I wrote a detailed review comparing Sierra Interactive with Commissions Inc. my own company InboundREM, KvCore and if you really dig for it Real Estate Webmasters and Bold Leads. You can find that review at the following website address.
My thoughts on Sierra Interactive as an SEO platform.
As usual, I saved a little something JUST for all of you here on Active Rain. The little something, in this case, is my thoughts on Sierra Interactive as a Real Estate SEO platform. Now there are other reviews here on Active Rain that can talk in detail about transitioning over to … (4 comments)
I've been on Active rain for seven months. One of the things I have noticed is even EXPERIENCED bloggers are not using Active Rain for backlinking as effectively as they could be and inexperienced bloggers don't seem to be using it at all. I'm going to show almost all of you how to get the most out of your Active Rain Subscription. (Yes for Active Rain to be effective for SEO you need to spend the $199.00 for a years subscription)
Before I show you how I want to illustrate how effective … (40 comments)
Happy hump day. Today's one-minute marketing video talks about how FEW real estate professionals plan properly for their online AND offline businesses. Take 30 days and plan the rest of your career!
I am in the midst of doing a 30 day series of the TOP ONLINE MARKETING mistakes I see realtors make.
I am using Instagram (inboundrem ADD ME) to post the original content. I am now uploading to YouTube and posting here. I'll do a few days worth. If no one comments or the comments are not overwhelmingly positive(which they have been on Instagram) I'll stop posting.
The videos are ONE MINUTE in length. Here is DAY ONE the biggest most common online marketing mistake I have observed real estate agents making over the last 10 years and 1000's of conversations.
Debbie Laity This post is incredible. As a professional marketer, I too have some spring cleaning to do. You've created an excellent "to-do" list for Active Rain readers. As a professional blogger, I have already done many of the items on your list and have resources that have made writing easier for me. I'm going to LINK to these resources using YOUR bullet points … (7 comments)
I just wrapped up a four-day project that I am lovingly going to refer to as "4 days in the life of Placester".
For those that don't know Placester is a Real Estate website provider. Here are the quick facts:
The men in the picture above are the founders. Frederick Townes and Matt Barba. They met in 2008 and started a lesser known company called Rent app. In 2011 they changed the name of the company to Placester. Placester now has 400,000 customers including RE-MAX and Keller Williams. You might be using one of their websites and not even know it. … (4 comments)
Zurple. If you don't already know it's a real estate lead generation platform. You can find Active Rain User Reviews including one of my own HERE.
Zurple advertises on facebook and Google/Bing looking for buyers and sellers prospects. It sends those prospects to a website.
The website looks like this. I've outlined the important elements of the home page.
You can click on "address" as part of this search results page and others. That's when Zurple requires registration. If you register you see a unique page combining "listing" push pins and Google street view of the listing you are interested in.
Simply put a niche is an area of specialization. For seasoned real estate professionals, the term will not be new. What I am referring to is ONLINE real estate niches. I like learning by example, so I am going to teach by example.
An online real estate niche is a website | Facebook page | Twitter account dedicated to:
Types of housing Types of Architecture Types of real estate transactions Types of buyers or sellers Location Special Licenses or relationships Here are those examples I promised.

YESTERDAYS POST
Today I am going to talk about research. Full disclosure I had a few clues as to what Pinterest users were looking for regarding something that might work for my Real Estate Marketing blog. I decided on meme's because the topic itself centered around photo's and some research using the following tools showed a decent amount of search volume.

Once produced you need to promote your blog post socially in as many places as you can. Here is a short list.
