Affiliate Marketing - You can earn Listings Leads and Referral Fees for free!

So I guess there was some confusion over a post I made this past week with regard to affiliate marketing.  Let me explain it hopefully a little better.

Back when I owned my Internet company, I was one of the first companies online to do affiliate marketing.  The goal was to have my affiliate partners have my content and business on their site but make it appear to be my affiliate partners.  It was a win/win situation; when someone bought something, through these sites we both benefited.

A few weeks ago it dawned on me that I should be using this approach in the Real Estate arena.  I haven't seen anyone do this so it's understandable that most Agents won't really understand what I'm doing.  However, if you don't, don't miss out on the opportunity.  Just call me at 321-258-4150 and I will explain this the best I know how.

Here's how it works:

Once we agree that you would like to participate, I will create an IDX page that is for Brevard County Florida.  Since over 80% of our leads come from out of state, we are partnering with other Real Estate Brokers all over the country.  The IDX page we create for you will allow your visitors to search for homes by going through your site.

Once someone does a search on your Brevard Couny IDX form, our Agents will do what we do best, convert Internet leads to sales.  If a lead from your site becomes a sale, we send you a 25% referral fee.  Almost as important, you will receive a copy of each lead knowing that they are most likely going to be selling their home before they can move to Florida.

You simply will place the link on your site stating: "If you are thinking about moving to Florida, click here to search for homes in Brevard County Florida."  Of course you can market this as little or as much as you would like.  The more you market it the more chance of getting listings and referral fees. 

Just one last note, as The eHomes Realty Network grows, so will our referral network.  Whether you are a member or not, you will then have access to all of Florida and beyond!

As I mentioned above, if this makes sense to you, and you would like to receive listings leads and referral fees, please feel free to email me at mitch@mitchrealty.com or call me on my cell phone listed above.

I was one of those who you confused...sorry.

My position is the same.  Keep affiliates involved at your Board of Realtors.  They are the backbone of our service to the public.

Hey Micheal - This really doesn't have anything to do with those affiliates.  We have actually started using this a while ago in a test and have done well with it.  From our test partner, we get an average of 5-10 leads per week. 

Is this for everyone...no, of course not.   To me though it's a great opportunity for Agents to earn referral fees and listings leads.  As I said, a win/win situation for eveyrone.
