Marie Episale, REALTOR, ePRO, Manager/Trainer: Trying out live videa via www.Qik.com and www.bambuser.com. Not quite sure of exactly how I will be implementing this in my Real Estate business or how to help my agents use these tools, but some ideas:
Host a virtual Open House - Broadcast live using one of these tools. Invite the public via print advertising, Twitter, Facebook etc - Give link to live broadcast.
Preview properties for buyers - live - chat available to speak to the clients if they cannot be there for a showing. Or, bring my iPad and talk to them via Line 2 (www.line2.com - a second line for my iPhone).
Publish "Events" - in advance - Live Video broadcast while it is happening
Training Events, Sessions, Workshops: Video live - Available to watch at a later time -
I will be testing out my LIVE CHANNEL: visit while I learn and then stop back, as I am sure I will get better and better at this. I'll be testing today from New Milford, New Jersey as I enjoy Thanksgiving dinner with my friends.
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
... more to come
November 26th update: So this is what I have figured out (so far). In order for someone to watch your "live streaming", they need to register on http://www.qik.com Once registered, they can tune into your channel (mine is http://www.qik.com/mepisale -
I tested "live" recording today when I was driving to re-show a townhouse in Wanaque. Kind of gave a "live broadcast" tour as I approached the town, and while driving through the town. I gave tidbits along the way explaining what I could, without a prepared script. I did not prearrange for anyone to watch it live, but when I got back to the office, I logged onto my "channel" and there it was - my 6 minutes or so of my "Wanaque tour". Pretty easy. I then uploaded it to YouTube - (more testing).
Not the best quality and my script was not prepared, but I am learning the "system". Great technology. I will be using it this weekend to "show" houses to a "homebound" client. I will have them watch me live. They can "chat" with me while I am live (type text and it will show up on my phone) - Also, I tested it with my sister Tere yesterday. I can be on the phone with her (iPhone) and still be recording live. Way cool! This is going to come in handy....
