Agent Newswire | Free, Professional Real-Estate Portal

By
Real Estate Technology with Digital Marketing Consultant

Realtors are small businesspeople: even if you're in an office with other agents, you need to market yourself to reach out and get attention. Realtors all know this means "social networking", but if everybody's doing it then how do you stay ahead of the pack? The answer is simple (and FREE): Agent Newswire, at http://www.agentnewswire.com

I built a highly successful software company (BPO Automation) on social networking - and it takes a LOT of work to promote the site. I got tired of surfing between Twitter, Facebook, and others, and worked with our programmers to create Agent Newswire.

Agent Newswire builds credibility, adds SEO value, and gives you additional social-networking exposure. It's a free, online service exclusively for Real Estate professionals to help them promote their business, listings, and themselves in both the search-engines and top social networking sites. It's designed to maximize marketing effectiveness with a minimum time-investment: simply post a link, write a short description, and you're all set! Click here to view a detailed online tutorial.

Here's how it works: Registered users post links to stories, articles, and listings they've posted on major forum sites like Activerain, REOPro, eRealEstate social, AgentsOnline, etc. Once you've posted the link, Agent Newswire will pick up extra information and help you publish it to an even broader audience, letting your work stand out from others on the major forums.

Agent Newswire doesn't replace your existing marketing, but augments it by optimizing your content for today's social networking scene, and brings additional audience members back through the AN portal to visit your existing profile, postings, and listings on ActiveRain (or any other site that you publish on). In addition, it offers special features such as embedded Google Maps in the Listings section to augment the photos & descriptions you've already posted on your website, ActiveRain, or MLS.

Some other features include:

- A Detailed Online Tutorial

- SEO Optimization: Agent Newswire automatically extracts key information from your stories to make them search-engine friendly.

- Social Network Broadcasting: Automatically publish Facebook "wall" stories, and "Add To" & "Retweet" functionality lets you instantly publish to 10 top social networking sites.

- Twitter Scan: Scan Twitter in real-time for users tweeting about related content & send them friend invites from the AN dashboard (Click here to view).

- Advanced Tagging: Tag clouds & automatic SEO-available for user-submitted story tags.

- Facebook Friends: Import Facebook profile picture and automatically connect with Facebook friends on AN.

Hi Michelle --

Well, the beauty of ActiveRain is that you've already got a blog - already got public content to point links & listings back to. So just take one of those public URL's, plug it into Agent Newswire, pick the right category for it, and you're all set!

Then, I'd just ask recommending it to a few friends who can vote it up for you, which is how we grow our visitor base (and also provides MORE exposure for you).

We're currently working with some pretty substantial newsgroups, so we have good volume to start out with, and we're just asking agents to give it a try to help us grow!

Thanks;

Tim
