It seems that we’re going through another spell of “fewer phone calls.”  What do you do when this happens?  Do you ask others if they’re experiencing the same scenario?  Do you continue to do what you were doing when it was a busier time?  What’s your plan of attack to make the phone ring more?

It seems to me that the most reasonable plan would be to broaden one’s marketing area, and increase the amount of advertising so it covers a wider range.  Well, you may be saying that the Internet covers the world, and it certainly does, but you know you won’t reach everyone unless your keywords are what buyers are using to search for what they need. 

The bottom line would be to continue to improve the use of your keywords.  Add more keywords to your current list.  Do you have a list?  Do you check your keywords to see how much competition those words have?  My list of keywords is approximately 500 for my niche of new construction.  There are so many details to keep in mind while you’re blogging.  Focusing on your keywords are the most important, in my opinion.   The more pointers you learn about SEO, the more success you’ll have with your blogging and Internet presence. Check out Katerina Gasset's SEO to the TOP.....you'll listen to the recordings often.  I know I do!!

HI Barbara-I know that I probably need to blog more and get more focused with my key words.  Still working on it :)!

Barbara, You seem to be doing a great job at this. I will definitely go and check out Katrina Gasset"s link you sent. It never occurred to me to put a key word "list" together. I will need to start working on that and would appreciate anything you cared to share!

Thanks for the motivation Barbara!  I was slacking off for a couple of weeks, and know I'll pay for it in the future!

Deborah....Katerina does a great job of relaying what you need to know about SEO.....it's enough to get you started for sure.

Laura....what you do now is what will make the phone ring in the future....

Thanks Barbara, I am part of Katerina's twice monthly coaching calls, need to really get focused and learn what I can.

Kinda struggling with being part of this team, getting push back about putting systems into place so I am going to focus on my own business.

Thanks, as always, for the great input.

Great advice Barbara!  And one of the first things Katerina teaches us is to follow those who are successful and when someone is sprouting off as an 'expert' to ask them "How is that working for you" -  Well, we already know by your fine example that blogging is key to your success as one of the Top Real Estate Agents in Franklin MA - Barbara Todaro knows her stuff and the proof is in the rankings!

Virginia....that's great....Katerina does a fantastic job....she really knows her SEO....working as a team is not an easy task....there can only be one captain of a team....sometimes the members do not have the same attitude and philosophy of doing business as the team captain....it's time to move on, if that happens....

Christine.....thank you for the kind words.....I blog everyday and on multiple sites about our inventory.....that's one of our niches....listings.....we can never have enough....

Barbara - you've got that right!  I'm all over the blogging thing now and may try a few old fashioned ideas too, door knocking in my neighborhood. I'm not a big fan of that but I am also the HOA Social Director so as we call it in Texas, its a Twofer!  For the yankees, 2 For 1! LOL!

Hi Barbara: Well, I have a new focus now, one that I've always included but not specifically targeted: Commercial Real Estate. For some reason, this has become the biggest part of my business.

Yep, August is a waning month.  Everyone back from vacations and getting ready for school.  I believe it will pick back up in September.

Good morning Barbara,

August is always off kilter because there is so much going on..trying to cram a vacation in before school, getting kids ready for school, getting kids off to college etc. etc. Good time to prepare for the busy fall market of Sept, Oct. & November..never as great as the spring market but a viable market regardless!
