Flat Fee MLS Florida & Blogging
Flat Fee MLS Florida & Blogging Strategies To Market Your Real Estate Globally…
Flat Fee MLS Florida gets the local Realtors motivated if you’re using the flat fee MLS Florida commission marketing technique we discussed in the first post! And you are getting worldwide exposure if you have taken advantage of the video marketing strategy. Now we are going to discuss blogging and where you can get your own blog for FREE!
What is a blog? According to the definition in Wikipedia a blog is a website, usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, Web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs.
My definition is simply that blogs have become the next generation marketing tool with the ability to plug your blogs “Site Feed” into an RSS feed and then have it syndicated to thousands of websites and directories giving your content more exposure to your targeted audience.
A blog is an amazing marketing tool that can be optimized to move up in the search engine rankings much faster than a typical website. Now I’m going to show you how a blog can help you gain even greater exposure and help you have a greater chance of selling your real estate faster.
I talked about keywords in the post about video marketing and how you want your video themed and keyword rich with the phrases that your tageted buyer would type into the search engines to find your property. That is the same formula we want to use with your blog. If you are selling a beachfront condo in Miami’s “South Beach” your keyword phrases may include the following: “South Beach Condo”, “Miami Beach Condo”, “Florida Beachfront Condo”, “Miami Condominium”, etc.
Remember to theme your blog title and subtitle with your keywords…
Now, why a blog you ask? First of all you are going to find that Google loves blogs and they rank very high on Google’s search engine results page quickly. Use the localized keywords in you title and your article and you could see faster results. What does this mean to me and what’s the advantage of a blog when selling my real estate?
As I mentioned Google loves blogs! A blog gives you added exposure in the search engines. When a potential buyer does a search using a keyword that describes your property the primary goal is that you will come up on the first page of Google. By localizing your keywords with phrases like “Miami Beach Condo For Sale” or “Looking for South Beach Condo” you have a good chance at page one! You can find out how many times a keyword is searched by using Google’s free Keyword tool. More about that in another post.
Other Advantages…
You will have a website address with your blog! You can write short posts in your blog about everything that makes your property so special and you don’t have to do it all at once. Every few days or once a week write a new post consisting of a short two or three paragraphs about things that buyers would want to know about. Write about the neighborhood, the new up-grades, added features, and the schools. The list is endless and what a great advantage over everybody else in your area.
Another Advantage…
Put the website address on your YouTube video page in the description section so potential buyers that find you on YouTube will have access to tons of specific details about your property. “Content is King!” Next I’m going to tell you where you can get a free Blog.
Go to Wordpress.com and sign up for your free blog. They offer some good tutorials on setting it up. You can also find excellent video tutorials on YouTube. I’m going into the process of setting up a blog today but maybe in future post. I found this great video tutorial on setting up a Wordpress blog.
Happy blogging!
