I got this cool new app ad in my inbox and decided to try it out. It's verrrryyyy cool!
It's called My Online Yard Sign and it brands your photos with your logo and contact information.
And it's FREE!
Check it out. Here is my listing at 420 Whitegate Rd in Newbury Park, CA. This first picture is without the branding, the second is with:
Is this something you might be able to use in your marketing?
If so, go to www.MyOnlineYardSign.com and sign up. It's free and super quick.
Happy Weekend!
Wow! Love it. Is this an iPhone app? Gotta have it.
Thanks for subscribing to my blog btw. I appreciate it and reciprocated.

Personal branding is verboten in our MLS. Photos are copyrighted to the RMLS. It's a nice app.
...... a good way to market yourself, on the pictures you take ......

Though we can't use branded photos on our MLS, I will certainly explore other ways to use this app. Thanks for sharing it.

What a great idea! Our MLS won't let us brand and now that CL is making it difficult this is a great way to keep it all branded! thanks.
I like that! How cool! I wonder at this point who did that and was kind enough to share it with us!
Kathy, that adds a lot of pizazz to the picture without being gauche as some of these add-ons can be.
Hi Kathy, Some of the 3rd party aggregators allow us to edit the listing and it could certainly be done on this photos. Our MLS does not permit any branding.
Kathy, that is verrrry cool, and will need to get busy right now. Sure brands your listing.
Kathy Smiley ~ first off, awesome listing, and congratulations.... Secondly, amazing app, thanks for sharing, I love it!
Another fantastic photo app I've fallen in love with is Canva.com - it's also free and very well reviewed in the real estate world. Below is an example of an image I made for our real estate market blog;

Hi Kathy...Great App to claim you own the photo and add advertising online. Great find, thanks!
Cheers, have a fun and successful day!
I am glad Patricia featured your article because this is fantastic Kathy! We have restrictions with our local MLS but for our personal sites, this is a gem. Thanks for sharing!

Great share, Kathy. I'm sure this is an app that many of us will go get and also use a lot.
Good morning Kathy. Great share! I will have to tell some of my real estate friends about this when I get back.
