Your blogs give you many benefits with SEO, a familiar name/face and an on line presence. Did you know you really can build relationships via your blogs?
Quality content, consistent and interesting will get you return readers, fans and some blasts from the pasts..once you start building relationships you got yourself a strong sphere of influence. But how do you get your sphere to take you serious? Here are a few of the observations I made.
It started with a blog post-with the post came a few comments lots and lots of views, posted it on twitter, mybloglog and facebook too! I saw people I hadn't seen in a long time..why because I had a catchy title. But the catchy title was not enough.
$20.00 in donations until yesterday I made that donation..it was the only donation I had. That's why
phase two began:
E-Mail-I utilized my database of all the email addresses I've collected..Next phase e-mails because I need to make bail. After I hit send...in a matter of minutes I finally had some donations! This morning I was surprised and the donations keep trickling in!
I had my thank you email ready to go..and then I continued to spread it on the web. Is it enough? No it's not! I'm committed..even if I met my goal..MDA can always use more donations and a real estate professional can always use more customers.
Same concept...different reasons
Real estate thought: Prospect as if you had no business you can bet you will have steady streams of income. This may help in preventing dry spells in income. One of the main reasons agents get out of the business. When will I get paid again?
Here's the finale
Phase three will begin August 27th..all day...Ring...ring..ring, Hi it's Midori....
With a Phone Call-I have to make this fun for myself and I wonder just how many activerainer's I can talk to in one day! With 102,736 on the network..its a numbers game right? I figure since I am going to be locked up..I'm going to be on the phone yapping all day! :)
I just wonder how many activerainers will I talk to August 27th in the process.
August 28th you will find out! and lets see just how much I can raise for the MDA.
It really comes down to this..if you are going to blog for business..have a follow up plan in place. With subscriptions, newsletters and capturing emails.
Next pick up the phone and talk and get acquainted..remember real estate is a people to people business..computers are meant to simplify our lives not disconnect us from the very human aspects of life
That's why a phone call is sometimes necessary. I bet if you tried this method you might find yourself picking up an extra sale or listing...and in the process enjoying some nice conversations.
