Unfortuantely, if you're site is not prepared, you can see your ranking plummet. That's terrible, especially if you have spent a lot of time focusing on making your site keyword heavy. Just a few days ago, there was a new change to the alorithm released. But this time it actually focused on non-responsive sites.
Because so many people now (almost half) are browsing the internet using their smart phones or tablets, if your website isn't responsive you have a good chance of … (4 comments)
Just a few weeks ago, I was quoted in an article about email marketing on Forbes.com. Not only was it a huge confidence boost, but I also got a bunch of new traffic to my site. Plus, now I can say "featured on Forbes.com" in my own marketing efforts.
You might notice that some people keep popping up again and again in magazines or on websites. I did in my industry and I wanted to know how I could get more press in the news.
Enter: HARO. The site is called Help A Reporter … (8 comments)

Let's face it, people are visual. Even though we're taught not to judge a book by it's cover, when you see something that catches your eye, aren't you more likely to click on it? I know I am. That's why I decided to up my game a bit on my own blog over at The Property Copy Co. I wanted to make my blog photos a bit more eye catching. And I wanted the photos to be able to do double duty. Now, I can use my photos at the top of my blog posts as well as on all my social media. I actually … (2 comments)

Getting someone to give you their email address today is hard. That's because so many people have been spammed and now, understandably, are much more wary of giving out their email. So, in order to successfully get those email addresses today you need to do two things. The first is offer something of true value, and the second is be creative. With so much online marketing coming our way everyday, we're desensitized to seeing the same old offer every week "sign up and join my email newsletter." Doesn't exactly get the blood rushing, now does it? Let's fix that, today. Here are three creative … (2 comments)
When you write a new blog post you have to do a lot of work to get it out there.
Most people typically spend 80% of their time producing content and only 20% of their time promoting it. In reality, many of the very best marketers out there flip those numbers.
Of course, it's important to be sure you're providing your readers (and potential clients) with high quality content, but you want to make sure people can actually see it too. … (3 comments)

The good news is it doesn't have to be that way. Why? Because of syndication. Here's how it can work. Reach out to a few of your local newspapers, blogs, even social media sites. Ask if you can become the local real estate expert, … (5 comments)
