Dear Colleagues,
I was recently reading a blog that reflected that most of the realtors that were blogging receive non or very little business from their efforts.
This is probably due to one of the following reasons
1. The possible prospects cannot find their blog because the blog name is either their name or something not related to their area of business (farming area)
At first someone specially those realtor with more time in the business will say that they need to market themselves and I will agree that is true but it is not true for the title of your blog.
2. Do not know how to entice the reader to ask for information on the topics relevant to their search(SEO)
3. They do not know how to entice the reader to act or seek information that they place on their webpage (SEO).
Seeing this is why Virtual Florida Tours marketing has developed a new SEO training program that will allow our customers to increase their presence on the Internet.
This is a training program that really works it will not require that you invest a big amount of time, but will definitively give you the possibility to increase your presence on the Internet and start seeing a very good return on your investment (ROI).
If you are interested in this course or have the need to really obtain a cost effective virtual tour of that listing that refuses to sell using the traditional methods do not hesitate no more contact us at 305 331 8960

Is It Important to Maintain an Internet Presence
A greater presence on the Internet is emphasized by multiple authors and in a recent article Mike Parker1 make a great point of its importance. The numbers of published papers that address this situation is overwhelming and of greater importance are those published by the national association of Realtors (NAR). In this articles NAR refers to the increase of prospects starting their house search through the Internet, and the increase income earned by those Realtors that are already getting a good return on investment on their Internet presence.
Multiple authors address the importance of SEO to obtain the correct Internet presence as your main goal. This will allow the prospects to locate your page when they are seeking information on your neighborhood. The greater amount of people finding you on the Internet will represent more business that will come your way.
The problem is how you make this people give you their information so you can contact them back. There has to be some kind of call for action of these prospects. In this way the prospects will be enticed to give you their information by promising a newsletter, a virtual tour for sellers or information just tailored to their needs. It is very important that these prospects receive feedback as soon as possible after they give their contact information.

Can Social Networking be Used to Increase your BusinessY
There is a lot of information regarding which is the most important way to use social networking to obtain the best results. Social networking is an investment of our own time to promote our services. Unless you are one of those persons that prefer to pay to get a low quality product, that supposedly will allow possible customers to see you as something you are not. Your investment will be your own time.
Of course time is too valuable and most of us have very little free time to invest it in something that gives nothing back. Therefore we need to get the most out of it. Barrett Niehus1 recommends the use of twitter with an automatic respond system and of course a call of action that could be related to some kind of information that the prospect will receive periodically like a newsletter, etc.
In general as Rebecca Levinson2 correctly advises the biggest problem that any blogger encounters is selecting the materials that should be addressed in the blog. You should be writing on topics that would make your possible prospects desire to read the topic you are writing about and of course she also gives a set of ideas that are really interesting about how to select your line of writing.
Once you have selected the topics that should be addressed in your blog, you have to decide which sources of information are worth following. When you read other professionals materials you can interact better with them, and by interchanging ideas obtain a more valuable product.
For example everyone knows that NAR recommends the use of the Internet since around 80% of the customers start their search there. They also say that you need to add pictures of the property you are intending to sell. What NAR does not give information on is how to use these tools to optimize your return on investment.
The gist of the correct use of social networking is writing about those things that make your service really special. You need to demonstrate your prospects that you are the expert in your area. That you are willing to go the extra mile to make their properties get exposed on the Internet and sold at the best price.
