Real estate agents are constantly in search of ways to get good search engine listings. Video marketing allows you to not only get high search engine ranking but actually completely dominate the search engines. Real estate agent who are committed to staying on the cutting edge of business should know that video can be the most powerful and effective tool in a successful online marketing arsenal.
The problem that many business owners have with videos is that they don't start with a strategic marketing plan. To receive the best results from video marketing you need to start with a plan. It may seem cut throat but your plan should be to take over and eliminate your competition from the best search engine listings. With the proper planning and research video marketing can be the knock out punch that conquers your competition in the real estate market.
It's been well proven that the search engines love video and often give higher ranking to videos that target certain keywords over text content using the same phrases. In fact, video has been used in many cases to completely dominate the first page of Google and Yahoo.
You hear a lot of talk about getting number listings on Google. The truth is that video can help you get the number 1 -10 listings and even more. I've seen multiple examples of the same video using specific keyword phrases receive all ten front page listings on the most popular search engines. This is how you dominate the search engines and push your competitors off the front page.
Strategic video marketing would mean placing your videos right in the path of your oncoming clients. Let's say that a family wants to buy a home in your town. Chances are they'll start at a major search engine to find homes for sale in your area. If they found your video dominating the front page of the search engines then you would become their logical starting point.
Creating videos doesn't have to be a big time Steven Spielberg production. Just make simple amateur videos with an inexpensive digital camera. Another way to quickly create a video is with Windows Moviemaker if you have Windows XP on your PC. You can also use Camtasia or whatever video production software you feel comfortable using.
You're probably most familiar with video sharing sites like YouTube, and Google Video. Don't limit your video submissions to just these couple of sites. Remember, your mission is to completely dominate the search engines with your videos. Multiple links from high ranking video sharing sites will only help your standings in the search engines. Here's a list of 25 of the top video sharing sites where you can submit your real estate videos.
