30 Days of Marketing Opportunities - Day 8: Create a Community Website

30 Days of Marketing Opportunities - Day 8

This is Week 2 in my goal to write 5 days per week for 30 days.I'm continuing this series that was initially designed to motivate me to write. Now, the goal is to continue providing marketing motivation for you! 30 Days of Marketing Opportunities will give you 30 projects or tasks that your Virtual Assistant can handle on your behalf, generating leads that will ultimately generate more income for you!  These are tasks that do not require a lot of high-end skill but, instead, require some time (hence the reason your Virtual Assistant should handle these tasks, not you!) and attention to detail.  Join me on the journey!

Day 8 - Create a Community Website

Where is the first place people will go when they are interested in a particular community?  The internet, of course!  And you want them to find you. One of the best ways to do that is to become the "go-to" person for that community.  By creating a community website, you can become the "IT" website owner for that area.  Your community website can include upcoming events in the community, important dates to remember (such as the first day of school, no school, city council meetings, etc.), highlights of the community, condo association information, virtual tours of available properties in the area, listings of available properties only in that area, and information about your preferred home staging company and mortgage lending partner.  Have a community newsletter with information about both old and new businesses in the area and also with relevant news on your community website. (Did you read yesterday's post about partnerships??)  Also, you can highlight the neighbors on your community website.  Take pictures of the homes in your community once they've started decorating for holidays or planting flower beds for the season.  Anything and everything to make your name prominent in their minds because, after all, what's the point?  To make them remember you!
