It seems to me...

Like a lot of agents on Active Rain are pretty tech savvy. All of us know how to blog so we all know how important the power of the internet is to our business and thus we strive to use it as a tool to drive our Tech Savvybusiness forward. I haven't done it as long as a lot of the people on here but I have used the internet in one form or another to create leads and close transactions since 2007.

A Program that Changed my Approach...

I used to rely almost exclusively on blogging to drum up business and it wasn't bad. It definitely helped when the economy was hurting but I wasn't tapping into the upper eschelons of the various internet marketing Guru's... Thats for sure. I spent some time researching and studying and I found an educational membership site called Retechulous that really helped me up my game. On my main website I went from about 45 visitors to over 1200 in 3 months using the techniques taught in their membership area... And that I can prove:

But Here's Something You May Not have Thunk...

Something occurred to me recently, when I was working on another website. I have a small handfull of websites; my main listing website and a Multi-Site Worpress installation at Svagents.com. I haven't done anything with the frontpage of Svagents but I have built a couple of sites on the back and some squeeze/landing pages that I am sending traffic to. I spent a lot of time learning to first use Wordpress and then to learn to actually build sites from scratch with ThemeFrames. I have also learned some awesome SEO Tricks and techniques to drive tons of traffic to my websites. The techniques are so effective that I realized that I could probably do it for more than just real estate. It works awesome for real estate but in these tough and sometimes slow times any little bit that we can get helps! So I built a couple of minisites with affiliate and google adsense codes on them. I just published a couple of them 2 days ago. I only want to share one here because it's relavent.

Retechulous!

Retechulous actually has a referral program so I signed up for it. This is a product that I can gladly promote given the fact that Josh and Ryan have over 50,000 real estate agent clients and there is not a single negative word about them anywhere on the internet. They have an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, and I can attest to the fact personally that their material is the real deal. There is so much in the program that I couldn't possibly include it all in a couple of posts so I built an entire website to review the marketing platform. Please check it out and leave your comments here. I'd like to know what the Active Rain Community thinks of the idea and if you like the articles please click the like button:)

Thanks for posting about this. I will look into it. I've signed up for it before but I need to get into it the way you have.

Michelle - I signed up for the 30 day trial once a few months before I actually started using it. I was so busy I didn't use it and canceled before I was billed. I decided to try it again when I came across the Expiromatic 2.0 platform that they added. When I got back into the membership area I found that they added more than have a dozen new platforms and they include the hosting at no additional cost, if you want it. I definitely do recommend giving it another try. I am getting calls and emails from my sites and advertising activites daily.

Thanks Christopher,

I also have not found a negative word about Retechulous, I'm amazed more people don't use them.  But glad my competition doesn't seem to either.   Are you still working with them?  i see you have stopped blogging on AR???  Any reply wuld be appreciated  Thanks Bill

Hi Bill. I did stop blogging on AR for a while. I got really sick and didn't know what was causing it. I had some health problems for a while but they got really bad in 2012 and even worse in 2013. I was bed ridden nearly on a daily basis with some days slightly better than others. 

I finally discovered in July of 2013 that it was Lyme disease, I was treated, and Ihave recovered. I originated mortgages prior to selling real estate. I still think that a lot of the information in Retechulous is relavent though I am not currently enrolled and not sure whether or not it is still up.

I am feeling very healthy and back to work in the mortgage business again so I will be blogging on AR again. Thank you for your comment!
