So I've been writing THE book on How to Dominate Your Market using internet technology.
The book basically digests everything you've ever heard about real estate technology, gets rid of the garbage, and puts it into a step-by-step guide you can use.
The key premise is that you need a Comprehensive approach.
For example, there is no use in SEOing your website if when people arrive you don't give them what they want or don't present any compelling reason for hiring you. But I'd like your advice...
There are two ways to frame the discussion.
#1. As a Step by Step Guide. (This is what I use with clients/partners.)
#2. As as "These are the strategies that get you these benefits" Guide
Please take a look and let me know which is more appealing to you.
Thanks!
