The Real Estate Business Is Content, Not Home Selling

Your-Business-In-The-Content-Not-The-Product

The above might seem like an odd statement, but it couldn’t be more true.

Let me use some examples of other industries to illustrate the point.

The Music Industry

The business is content creation; melodies, lyrics, videos, live presentations, etc.
The product comes in the form of CD’s, DVD’s, downloads, posters, T-shirts, tickets etc.

The Baseball Industry

The business is content in the form of the actual game, the play-by-play, the TV broadcast, the reporting, etc.
The product is tickets, jerseys and caps, hot dogs and beer, etc.

The Restaurant Industry

The business is content in atmosphere, presentation, description, expertise, service, etc.
The product is meat, vegetables and alcohol, etc.

IT HAS BEEN CHOPPED BECAUSE THIS IS A SYNDICATION OF THE ORIGINAL, AND IT HAS BEEN PROVEN THAT FOR SEO PURPOSES IT IS NOT A GOOD STRATEGY TO POST THE SAME ARTICLE IN ITS ENTIRETY IN MORE THAN ONE LOCATION.

Its all about the content. Whenever I think I have run out of something to blog about I think about my latest client conversation and I think of at least another two topics to blog about.

Great stuff.  Real estate isn't necessarily content, but knowledge I would say.  Content proves knowledge and makes the clients clamor to work with you

Content is also where you differentiate yourself from all the stock answers to things. Viva content!

I completely agree. No one wants to be sold anything! However, content does tend to sell you in a different way....hmmmm....better check out the link and see what else you said!
