Neighborhood and community videos are a great way to gain viewers and meet potential buyers and sellers.  Videos about schools, home-values, hot neighborhoods, farmers markets, parks and trails, dog parks, area businesses, annual events, you get the idea.  

 

YouTube Thursdays - Use Your Hyper-local Strength as an Advantage

 


                            

 

Many agents see Zillow and other large search portals as the big bully who is stealing our business.  There is a way to fight back though - flex your hyper-local muscles. We think the best way to beat these mega search sites is by offering people something they can’t - hyper-local content. 

 

Neighborhood and community videos are a great way to gain viewers and meet potential buyers and sellers.  Videos about schools, home-values, hot neighborhoods, farmers markets, parks and trails, dog parks, area businesses, annual events, you get the idea.  

 

The power of these videos act to showcase your knowledge as the local expert - and build your brand. These videos offer great ROI too because they are evergreen in nature. Once you produce them, they’re available everyday, at any hour. 

 

Naturally, you’ll want to make sure people can find them. A video library without any viewers isn’t going to be very useful. Here are the top things you should be doing. 

 

Increase SEO - Descriptive keyword titles, Geotags - Here’s how , transcripts, key word descriptions, and use tags. Add your name and contact information too - within the video and in your description. 

 

Post Links on Social Media, your websites and blogs - Be sure to create a compelling tease as to why someone would want to follow the link to watch more. 

 

Share with other Niche Community pages, and build your own. 

 

Share by co-branding and collaborating with like-minded businesses. 

 

But wait, there's more. We saved the most important tip for last. 

 

Walk the Talk!  Flex your hyper-local muscles. You’ll actually need to be involved in, and a contributing member, of the niche(s) you hope to dominate. Get out there, live life, add value, and make your community stronger.

ViewHomes™ grew out of our passion for nature, beautiful surroundings, and peaceful environments. Starting together in an urban environment, over the years we've gravitated towards areas with smaller populations and less density. We now enjoy our lifestyle in a rural environment, but with close proximity to metropolitan areas where we appreciate all the amenities of fine restaurants, shopping, and an easy drive to an international airport.
Living in ViewHomes™ is like having “elbowroom for the soul”.

Morning Roy! Thanks so much for the reblog. What a nice surprise. We just returned from a fabulous time in Alaska. We were lucky to get wonderful weather - time to get back to work and flex our hyper local muscles this week with some local videos.
