Many on ActiveRain understand the value of Content Marketing For Realtors. However...there are a few tips to follow that can take all of your content marketing efforts to a new level.
CONTENT MARKETING IS NOT LIMITED TO YOUR BLOG POST
Video, infographics, and landing page content such as ebooks and reports work as well.
THE EASY ACTION PLAN:
Once a week, add a short post to your blog with a local flavor. This should not be a time consuming exercise. You don't have to write 800 word articles. Just a few paragraphs with a photo or two. Post enticing information about your community, local events and businesses, and anything in real estate that would interest buyers and sellers.
For example, you can visit a few open house (or 2 or 3) that may appeal to first time buyers. Take some notes and write a few positive comments on the properties. Include some property details. Use a title such as "March 2017: Potential Properties In Torrance, CA For First Time Buyers". Thats it. EZ-PZ.
4 TIPS TO CONVERT YOUR CONTENT INTO LEADS
Don't stop with a blog post. Have the content work for you. Take these 4 easy to follow tips that can make your content generate more leads and clients.
Tip 1: Don't just write a blog and hope the reader contacts you. Close your post with a clear CALL-TO-ACTION.
Tip 2: One option with the CALL-TO-ACTION is to link a landing page that offers similar content to your blog post. Offer your readers more such as an ebook, report, etc. on a related topic.
Tip 3: Don't use PDF to deliver content. Why? Because everybody is on mobile and PDF is difficult to view on mobile devices
Tip 4: Re-use the content. If you post on your blog, take bits of the article such as a few highlights and use it to post on Social Media (with links to your site), ActiveRain, & make a video of the content and post it on YouTube.
How about a Landing Page example?
The content example mentioned above targets first time buyers. Why not offer a "lead magnet" in the form of your "2017 First Time Buyer Guide"? The idea is to take the reader from the blog post to a landing page designed to capture lead information (your lead magnet). It's very effective way to use your content for high quality lead generation.
All you have to do is drop a link inside your content or better yet a bold graphic like this:
And link it directly to a clean landing page like this below. This is a postAprop landing page targeting First Time Buyers with content that is delivered in a mobile-friendly format (Not PDF).
