When Craigslist Fails, What to Turn To?

The best way to expose your properties is to send a video message to your clients where they personally see you describe the opportunity and your passion. Live video messages have impact. $9.99 per month for this system.

In addition, when you send clients and prospects homes to review, you want to know which hoes they actually look at. This company not only brands your email but sends you an email everytime a prospect looks at any of the properties you sent.

 

This link below is for signing up as a customer. I love this program for so many reasons; I wish I had it when I was selling real estate. Imagine sending your clients an email where they can see you and hear you, which creates a stronger branding and bond.  The minimum investment is about $9.99 per month. Well worth it.

The above link is to a company that is outstanding in creating email Brands. You must have this if your goal is to establish any type of branding in your field. The old method of emailing has become obsolete. All e-mails must have a branding template or be Video -email ( For video email programs, call me or email me for details)

The above links are templates for those people not in the industry. Do you know any - one not a real estate agent but in the business of selling or offering a service? These templates are designed for them

This site gives you an idea how much money you can actually make.

For my craigslist listings I use less is more.  Each property gets a single webpage on my site, people are referred back to my site if they want to see more pictures, the floor plan or the virtual tour.  There they can find what they are really looking for:  new construction, rentals, etc

This system is working well for me and I posted a blog about it in the last month :) 

I agree with Renee, It's not about posting 100 listings on Craigslist. You should choose the most 'attractive' properties in your portfolio and craft an ad that will entice the reader to contact you for more information. Once they call then you can determine which house best fits their criteria.

Here are some questions you can ask before conducting your Craigslist campaign.

craigslist works. the problem I see with most craigslist ads are that they are written poorly. they are usually written to blend in with all of the "too good to be true" bait and switch ads. I've had great response from craigslist. its all about how you present your ad.

Ryan...you got a 3% return...what were you expecting? 20-30%-50%? Some direct marketing companies make millions getting 2%; I've made money getting 1/2 of 1% ....not sure why everyone thinks that Craigslist is the answer to everyone's problems..it's one avenue...if you are not getting the results that you want/need "test" somehere else. I have about 80+ free sites that I list on...and get results.

Test, test, and test some more...you know what isn't working...figure out what will. Hang in there.

Due to the large volume of ads on Craigslist, after about 30 minutes, your ad is buried and hard to be found. It has to be very visual to attract attention. Craislistis only a piece of the puzzle. I would do some heavy promotion to other brokers.
