You know I will shoot them Tubbs! Tell them to sign the contract. We haven't sold a condo on South Beach in months and their about to repo my Ferrari if I don't earn a commission.
They've already taken the boat and their not taking my car.
Tell them I can get them a 100 per cent no doc mortgage - fixed for Pete's sake. Just make them sign so I don't have to shoot them.
What’s that you say?! There are secrets to successful blogging! Well, heck… I thought I had this whole freakin thing figured out.
Not to worry my friend, some of these you may have already heard, yet others you may not have. Either way, it’s best to get yourself in the know now isn’t it?
New blogs are popping up everyday… Many of which are created by people with the intent on making it big on the internet but have now idea where or how to start to achieve their goals of online success. Sure you can set up your blog and simply start sharing your passion in the hopes that someone will listen but if you truly want to make money you may not know how to go about do so.
Here are 9 blogging secrets you must know before you can achieve the ultimate goal of blogging success.
Have a Plan
If you intend to generate any type of income online, let alone a significant one, you must plan for success. Treat your blog like a business and run it as one. As with any business, you need to have a business plan in place to help you meet your goals and achieve the success you desire. What are your short-term, mid-term and long-term goals and how are you going to go about accomplishing them. Spend a significant amount of time on developing your plan in an effort to provide yourself with clarity as well as a complete road map to success.
Share Your Passion
It is one thing to simply write content and post it on your blog. However, it is a completely different thing all together to share something you are passionate about with others. Passion attracts others and can help to bring your personality out in your blog posts making it easier for others to connect with you. If you aren’t passionate about your topic of discussion, your blog posts will seem mundane and boring to those who read them. Being passionate will also ensure you provide more detail and higher quality content your readership will greatly appreciate, and when they appreciate you, they will send others your way! Be Committed
To truly succeed at blogging, online or any business venture for that matter, you must be truly committed toward achieving the success you desire. This means your commitment must transcend to each and every task necessary to achieving your goals. Stick to a regular posting schedule and commit time daily to write your blog posts, interact on social media sites, comment on other blogs, write guest posts for other blogs and all the other things a problogger does to run their business and achieve their goals of successful blogging. A strong commitment is an absolute must if you hope to succeed online.
Know Your Audience
As you probably know, you need an audience who is truly interested in what you have to say and listens to you by reading your blog posts, listing to your audio or viewing your videos. However, simply having an audience is not enough to allow you to achieve success with blogging. You must know your audience completely. Learn their desires and wants, learn how they are communicating and what they are saying. Read every comment on your blog posts and interact with your audience daily. Ask for their input into certain topics and share your appreciation for their continued participation with them. Getting to know your blog audience will go a long way in helping you craft appropriate products for you to sell to them. Communicate Effectively
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen bloggers and internet entrepreneurs go to the trouble of establishing their internet presence then alienate their audience through ineffective communication. Study copywriting to learn how to write compelling headlines for your blog posts and learn how to effectively communicate with your audience through the various outlets available to you, such as your blog, social media and email communications. Never talk at your audience, but rather talk to them and with them. Successful internet marketing isn’t a matter of whether or not you can push as many of your products onto your audience as you can, but rather it is how well you can effectively communicate with your audience, build relationships and establish customer loyalty.
Interact with Others in Your Industry
As with effective communication, it is important that you dedicate quality time to hanging out where your audience plays on the internet and interacting with them. You must visit other bloggers within your industry and comment on their content, providing value to their readership. The more you comment and share quality the more likely you’ll build up a following and establish solid relationships with not only other bloggers but with their audience as well… Communicate and interact with others on Facebook and Twitter as well as other social networking sites. Always remember, interacting with others through social media is very much like a networking event or party. You wouldn’t go to either and start instantly selling your products. The most successful internet marketers are those who understand this and simply live their life, sharing value, quality and interacting with others. Those who are successful at this will be the most successful ones at the party ;-)
Have an Email List
If you aren’t actively building an email list on your blog and you have hopes of achieving internet fortune and fame, you mine as well quit right now! Any business needs a sales list. It is your life blood, your working capital if you will. Without an email list, your online business is practically crippled. Conduct a survey of the most successful bloggers in your industry and you will find that every single one of them has an email list. In the blogging community, Aweber is the preferred email list building and communication system. If you don’t have an account, I suggest you set one up now! Sell Your Own Products
Many bloggers do well by marketing other people’s products through affiliate programs, but the truly successful ones sell their own products. Why, cuz you can keep all the money! Ask yourself what is one thing in your industry that people tend to come to you about in which they seek an answer or solution to a particular need and then turn the answer to that question into a product. Dave Navarrow over at TheLaunchCoach.com has a great blog post that is down right quick and dirty on how to create a product over the weekend. I suggest you read it and follow Dave as he has some great advice on his blog around creating and launching products.
Give Without Want Before You Can Receive
I can’t stress this enough! The whole point of blogging is to share your passion. Write a minimum of 10 blog post which contain your best content. These are known as your “Foundation Posts” and will serve as the pillar to your online success. Your foundation posts immediately provide your audience with value thus encouraging them to want to share your content with others inevitably driving traffic to your blog and increasing your audience. Blogging success is 90% give and 10% asking for something in return. Continue to provide your audience with valuable content and they will keep coming back for more. Here’s a little secret for you, as an example, many of my blog posts tell you what you need to do or what you should be doing, while many of the products I sell show you exactly how to do it. Can you see the value in that? I spend 90% of my time providing you with the knowledge and techniques of internet marketing you should be doing and the other 10% showing you how to do it. And believe me, that 10% can make you a whole lot of money. Find the balance in your blogging and give without want before you can receive. Doing so will increase your blogs readership, your email list and your bank account.
Maybe the above isn’t so secret, but if you found value in it and were enlightened, then I’ve accomplished my task :-)

Take a look at how much more time your clients spent on social networks in 2009! That's right, your clients spent 82% more time on social networks compared to one year ago.
The latest figures released by Nielsen show that members spend 82% more time on social networks than they did just one year ago. That's an astonishing five and a half hours average per month and it confirms what everyone already suspects - that your customer is online and hangs out in social networks.
Facebook remains the leader of the pack and on Christmas day it finally unseated Google and celebrated its first day as the most visited site on the internet. Facebook also reported the registration of its 350 millionth user account as well as unique monthly visitors of over 109 million people.
It bears saying again and again that you need to adapt your business marketing to include social media and particularly Facebook.
LinkedIn is an incredible tool for the real estate industry in terms of networking with clients, qualified professionals and industry leaders. But without taking the proper steps, you may find yourself struggling to connect and grow your business to its highest potential. We’ve come up with some essential steps to follow to make sure you are getting the most out of LinkedIn.
Sell Yourself Through Your Profile
You never get a second chance to make a first impression. It’s true when you go on a blind date, when going on a job interview, and certainly when someone comes across your profile on LinkedIn. If your profile is incomplete or unclear, you can bet a potential client is moving on to find someone else to work with.
LinkedIn will guide you in providing relevant information about yourself, but it’s important to make an extra effort in filling out your profile. One to five-word answers are not helping your cause. You want to make sure that anyone who comes across your profile understands who you are, what you do and the types of services you can provide. You should also include:
• Professional Interests • Goals • Enriching Past Experiences
The Headline
One of the most important parts of the LinkedIn profile is the headline beneath your name. While it seems like an inconsequential blurb that tells people what you do, it may be the single most important line of text in your profile. Think of it as a newspaper headline.
Every Sunday morning you sit down with your coffee and start scanning the headlines for interesting articles. The story with the most interesting headline is usually where you start reading. It is also the story you are most likely to tell others about, as long as the story is complete.
You need to have a compelling headline with a completed profile backing it up. LinkedIn users are looking to connect with competent people whom they can benefit from. No one wants to try and find out more information about you, only to see that very little of your profile is actually filled out. If someone comes across your profile headline, your goal is to make them want to find out more about you by continuing to read down the page.
Example: John Q Public – Mortgage Broker – Trying to network with real estate agents and customers. His headline reads:
“Mortgage Broker with 20 years of experience.”
The above headline is pretty vanilla. It is what you would expect from about 80 percent of all mortgage brokers to have as their headline. John doesn’t stand out. If I’m a potential client, here are my assumptions based on that headline:
“John is an older man that’s been in the business a long time. He’s probably someone that is comfortable with existing loan programs that have gotten the job done in the past. He isn’t concerned about emerging opportunities or programs that might help save me some money should I do business with him. He might be at the end of his career and just trying to earn a few extra dollars before retiring.”
You are probably saying to yourself, “That’s not fair. You are making a lot of assumptions about someone you don’t even know.” And you would be right. However, the reality is, people make those snap judgements every day. It doesn’t make it right – but it happens. As quick as that judgement was made, I’ve moved on to someone else’s profile even quicker. So what should John have written?
How about…
“Experienced and cutting-edge broker providing innovative mortgage solutions to clients.”
What makes this better? The headline makes you ask some questions and piques interest in who John is, including…
“What makes John so cutting edge?” “What kind of experience does John have?” “What kind of innovative mortgage solutions does John know about?” “Where does John work that allows him to be so innovative?”
All you want is to generate that little bit of interest that keeps your profile in front of a potential networking opportunity. Once they are hooked, a completed profile will give you the best opportunity to make some kind of connection. You may have a shared hometown, gone to the same college or maybe even worked in the same building and never knew it. If someone is making an effort to find out more about you, the chances of working together have exponentially increased.
Building Your Network
Important to remember is that networking is not a one-way street. Too many times people get caught up in the notion of, “What can you do for me?” Instead you should be figuring out ways to get in front of someone. Fortunately, when it comes to LinkedIn, you can let people know exactly how you can help through contacting them and asking people to be a part of your network.
Your easiest connections will be with those you already know. Co-workers, friends, business associates and even your significant other should be a part of your LinkedIn network. Once this first level of connections have been established, you will then be able to view the profiles of everyone they know. You can see how once you get the ball rolling, connections can be picked up easily as you start going down the hill of a broadening network.
Your initial connection with contacts that you trust gives you a better chance of growing a reliable network. If everyone works toward building their LinkedIn network methodically and carefully, everyone can benefit from stable business connections. Soon you will find yourself connecting across a broad range of industries. A friend of someone in your network may be looking for real estate assistance. Wouldn’t it be nice if they were referred to you or if they told them, “I know the perfect person who can help you.” If you got even one deal out of building your LinkedIn network, wouldn’t it be worth it?
Benefit From Your Connections
Your network has been established, but what’s next? There are many reasons why people use LinkedIn. Most popular is networking to find job opportunities. If you are in the real estate industry, the main objective is to grow your business. Look over all your connections and see who might be able to help you generate business.
If you are, for example, a real estate agent, you may be networked with a small-business owner or CEO of a company. You could offer your services to their employees who may be relocating to the area. Or maybe you are a lender that has connected with a homebuilder. He or she might need someone they can trust to offer financing to potential customers. In other words, don’t look at your network in such black and white terms of client or competition.
Talking with your connections will help you find out how they conduct their business. Learn about what works and what does not for others in similar positions as you. Conversely, take part in discussions and questions that are posed by your fellow LinkedIn members. You stand to benefit more if people in your network know that you are someone they can trust and provide answers. Sometimes just checking in with the people on your LinkedIn network can cut down on the cold, business aspect of life. People appreciate it when they are asked how life is going – especially if it isn’t followed up by a business proposal.
Social Networking Management
Changes in technology have caused people to adapt and generate new ideas. As a result, an expectation has been set that requires everyone to continuously be moving or risk being left behind. The same goes for your LinkedIn profile. Your situation changes sometimes daily, weekly or monthly. Your profile should reflect those changes and you can expect that changes by others could help you down the road. A connection of yours might have gotten a promotion and is now in charge of hiring for a company. Maybe a client you are working with is looking for employment. You can introduce the two parties and help grow your credibility in the meantime.
Any time you go to a Chamber luncheon or meet someone and exchange business cards, your next step is to check out their LinkedIn profile. What a great way to make an impression if you can immediately connect with them by sending them a message through LinkedIn saying, “It was great meeting you today. I am looking forward to helping you in any way that I can in the future. Let’s set up a time to meet for lunch and talk further.” Keep the focus on helping them rather than what they can do for you.
Join Groups
A great way to make yourself an expert in the LinkedIn world is through the world of groups. Groups are set up by fellow LinkedIn members and can cover a variety of topics from “small-business owners” to more focused groups such as “Miami Real Estate Agents.” By joining groups you have the opportunity to meet fellow industry leaders. You can discuss relevant topics and provide an avenue for people from across the country or in your own backyard to connect. The idea is the same. Answer questions and pose your own. Work together to create a solid group and an even better network connection.
Hot Tip on Groups
Join an open networker group. Become an open networker. What’s an open networker and an open networker group on LinkedIn? An open networker on LinkedIn is a user that accepts all invitations and should never respond to an invitation with “I don’t know”. An open networker group is a group that proclaims itself as such: TopLinked, LION(LinkedIn Open Networkers or Leading International Open Networkers), and the most important one to join if you have anything to do with the real estate industry is the Real Estate Open Networkers(REON) and Building New Real Estate Connections. REON is by far the largest open network group for the real estate industry. It ranks 157 out of ALL 430,000 groups on LinkedIn and is specifically for real estate and the related industries. Chances are if you are reading this you are already a member of the Real Estate Open Networkers group. Now share any of these groups with your connections. Someone will usually thank you and that in itself increases your online reputation.
Following the above steps will get your LinkedIn profile primed for developing network connections beyond your own belief. What might seem like a lot of work is actually a lot of common sense. Yes, you will have to be creative and write a little more about yourself than you may be comfortable doing. But the end result is definitely worth the extra time. After all, if you are not willing to put the time into branding yourself, why would someone who needs your help think you would have time for them?
The Virtual Real Estate Brokerage and Office of the Future Today! - WEB 3.0
What does the future Real Estate Brokerage and Office really look like? If you decide to read on, it may change your perception of what the "Virtual Real Estate World" could look like in the future. While Secondlife is the Internets largest user-created, 3D virtual world community, and used primarily for Social Networking, eXp Realty has taken this same concept, and created a Business Model where the Real Estate Brokerage and Office is 100% Virtual. They are using the invisible walls of the Internet as their "Brick and Morter" office.
Their Business Model is defined as "The Worlds First Fully Immersive WEB 3.0. Real Estate Brokerage."
Last month, while at REBarCamp in San Diego, I got to meet and spend some time with Dale Kreiser, eXp REalty's Washington State Broker. He shared what their company was doing, and how well it was working for them. When I returned to the office, I did some research on their company and their site. I was "Blown Away" at what Glenn Sanford - Founder and CEO and their team have created! Could this really be the Real Estate Office and Business Model of the Future for Brokerages and even the smaller Mom & Pop offices?
Here's a video clip from a discussion held at that REBarCamp in San Diego. The topic? What does the Real Estate Brokerage of the future look like? It's an interesting discussion with Tom Ferry, Stefan Swanepoel, Wendy Forsythe, Sherry Chris, Dale Kreiser and others. What is the "New" strategy or tactic? Here's a hint of what you're about to see; The future is HERE now!
I've a strong suspicion that these guys may be onto something here...
So I called Dale and asked him for a "Virtual Tour" of their "Virtual Office." He and Glenn agreed to let me share that tour with you via this recorded video. For me personally, this was really the next best thing to actually being there. I felt like I was there. Now anyone that knows me well, also knows that I love all the new technology that is being introduced to our Industry, but I am also a practical person and want to be certain that this stuff really works. Don't just tell me it does....SHOW ME!!
This video is a bit longer than I wanted, but I edited out over 40 minutes of some really great stuff I wish I could have shared with you all, maybe another time. I would encourage you to watch the entire thing, I'd hate for you to miss any of this one. Sit back in that comfy chair of yours, relax, and enjoy this first ever virtual office tour...
Is this the way some Real Estate Company's and Brokerages will operate in the future? Yes, here's one already. Are these guys way ahead of their time? Maybe, but after today's tour, I realized that just talking with them about it, and then visiting their website was no comparison and nothing like "virtually being there!" I had no clue how well this was all put together. It was nothing short of interesting, fascinating, and awesome!
The Virtual Real Estate Brokerage and Office - WEB 3.0 So tell me what you're thinking at this moment...

2010's choice comes from Brian Tracy and is simply called: The Seven C's of Success
Brian, after having studied top achievers and peak performers over the past 25 years, concluded that these unique men and women, have in most cases, mastered what he calls The Seven C´s of Success.
1. Clarity - Eighty percent of success comes from being clear on who you are, what you believe in and what you want.
2. Competence - You can't climb to the next rung on the ladder until you are excellent at what you do now.
3. Constraints - Eighty percent of all obstacles to success come from within. Find out what is constraining in you or your company and deal with it
4. Concentration - The ability to focus on one thing single-mindedly and see it through until it's done takes more character than anything else.
5. Creativity - Flood your life with ideas from many sources. Creativity needs to be exercised like a muscle, if you don't use it you'll lose it.
6. Courage - Most in demand and least in supply, courage is the willingness to do the things you know are right
7. Continuous learning - Read, at the very least, one book a week on business to keep you miles ahead of the competition. And just as you eat and bathe, organize your time so you spend 30 minutes a day exploring e-mail, sending messages, going through web sites, because like exercise, it's the only way you can keep on top of technology. If you get away from it, you'll lose your edge.ur edge.

Here's how to be a power real estate social media marketer using Twitter.
Unlike Facebook or Linked In, Twitter allows you to set up multiple accounts. I'm not absolutely sure as to the number of accounts you can have but I know people with 50 plus accounts. You certainly don't need that many but I encourage you to set up at least five accounts.
To set up an account you simply go to Twitter.com and sign up for an account.
Naming your Accounts
You should name your first account after your own name - if it's available.
As an example, my name is Ross Hair and I have a Twitter account at http://twitter.com/rosshair. You should click on this link and follow me to see how it works.
Twitter asks for a "Name" and and "Username".
Your name will be your own name. It's important that you write your first name and last name as two words. If your name is Mary Smith you must write your name as "Mary Smith" and not "MarySmith".
You will notice that my username is @rosshair and my name is Ross Hair. I can use a different name than my username but I have not done so for my personal account.
Your second account should be a general account for your local real estate market.
I work primarily with real estate investors in Denver so my user name is @DenverProperty or http://twitter.com/denverproperty. However notice that I didn't name my account Denver Property but rather Denver Real Estate. The reason for this is that I want to be found by people who search using the keyword "real estate".
Your third account should reflect your specialization or expertise. If you're a short sale expert then get the username DallasShortSale and the name Dallas Short Sale.
Your fourth and fifth accounts should be variations of the last two accounts. Use a name that reflects your other area of specialization or a more focused or more local real estate area.
One quick tip! Focus most of your efforts into your primary account.
The Obama Administration today announced that the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is renewing grant funding needed to keep thousands of local homeless assistance programs operating. HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan said a total of nearly $1.4 billion will help an unprecedented 6,445 programs to continue offering critically needed housing and services to homeless persons and families.
The grants announced today are being awarded through HUD’s Continuum of Care programs. For the first time ever, HUD is quickly providing renewal grants to local programs to prevent any interruption in federal assistance and will announce funding to new projects in early 2010. For a local summary of the grants announced today, visit HUD’s website.
