Library of Real estate marketing tips

 

I've been blogging for nearly two years now, and have built up a pretty decent size library of real estate marketing related content. But naturally, there's more I can do with it! A few of the ways that I currently utilize the content I've already created are:

1) Every Monday I send an email out to my database with a recap of the previous weeks' blog posts. I know that not everybody remembers to come and visit the blog regularly, and may not have subscribed to the feed, so this is another way to stay top of mind, get helpful marketing tips right to them, and give them a little personal note on what I'm up to. And by using content I've already put on my blog, this weekly "newsletter" is quick and easy to put together.

2) I've done so many posts on Twitter, and how real estate agents can use it in their marketing, that I decided to put the posts together into a short ebook exclusively on Twitter Essentials. It gets this really specific info into the hands of the people that want it, without them having to search through 2 years worth of blog posts to find it. This makes it easier for them to use, without too much more effort on my part to put it together.

I'm thinking of doing something similar on other topics that I've written about frequently. Any topic in particular YOU'D like?

Great post and idea!  I love newsletter material that's fast and easy.  What does your recap consist of?  Do you just include a list of Blog Post Titles, partial contents (with "read more" links), full blog content or links to the blogsite?

Douglas - I use 1ShoppingCart, so I send a text only version with just one link at the top, and the full blog posts, as well as an html version with the full articles, all the titles linking back to the individual articles, as well as the Related Posts links to give them more posts to explore if interested.

Rich, thanks for your reply.  With just one link, that sounds fast & efficent.  By the way, what is 1ShoppingCart?

Yes, the text version with just 1 link is very easy. I put the link, copy and paste the posts, and voila!

1ShoppingCart is an all-in-one solution for a shopping cart, autoresponder and newsletter system. Since I offer some products, this is a great way for me to integrate my cart with my list, so all my people are there together and get my newsletter. You can check it out at www.1ShoppingCart.com. They also offer packages for just the autoresponder/newsletter system if you don't need the cart.
