One Hour of Motivating Stimulation to Propel Your Business –

Internet Marketing Sessions 

June 30, 2009

Rene' Fabre was in the Mid-Willamette Valley in February for a grueling 9 presentation whirlwind tour of Internet Marketing inspiration for area Realtors and Lenders.  He generated so much excitement on that round, it was DEMANDED that he come back for more and he finished up round two presentations in March.  It has been DEMANDED that he come back again stat!  We are happy to announce that Rene' will be in the Mid-Willamette Valley for round three July 28 - 30, 2009. 

For our last group of classes, we did one hour sessions and we had groans from the attendees when I gave Rene' the 5 minute warning to wrap it up.  "Do we have to be done in 5 minutes or can we keep going?!"  That is a true testament to the excitement that Rene' generates with what he has dubbed "Brother Love's Traveling Internet Marketing and Real Estate Salvation Show!"

Rene's presentation style is very authentic and comes across like a conversation rather than an internet flight that goes right over your head.  He very magically appeals to ALL tech levels.  I've been astounded at the connections he makes with people who have stomped their foot and said they would never, never succumb to this social internet stuff.  Then they attend a class, clearly see the value and go home to spend hours getting all their profiles up to date and creating a presence for themselves on the web. 

Rene' is always thinking creatively and he comes up with very unique ideas that are not the traditional avenue to increase your web presence.  He experimented with Yelp and discovered that while you are providing positive reviews for your favorite hair dresser, hardware store, and restaurant you are giving that business "Google juice" and also increasing your own footprint on the web. 

Today's marketplace really benefits from this positive work that drives people to local business and gives you some exposure at the same time.  An added benefit is that it truly only takes you moments to do this good deed. 

So if you argue, "We're trying to connect with new buyers and sellers how does this help?"  Rene' relates this to placing ads in the traditional newspaper or magazine or local business guide.  You did that because you wanted some name and face recognition and you wanted to connect with people reading that publication.  This isn't that different... you are "showing up" (many times) on page one of Google searches along with these businesses that you've reviewed.  There you have it, name and face recognition in your local area for free.  Thanks for this creative and karmically responsible idea Rene'. 

I really appreciate Rene's perspective, "I do not claim to be an expert.  What I am is an explorer."  That's what we should all aspire to be as we grab onto our spinning heads and dive into the pool of internet marketing and presence.  Like it or not, over 85% of people are going to the web first to look for a home or a loan... or a new car, mattress, fridge, you name it.  Again, in the words of Rene', "They are already there looking.  How will they find YOU?"
