For Sale By Owner Flat Fee MLS…PLUS Video Marketing…

Worldwide reaching marketing strategies along with by owner flat fee MLS is a lethal combination! Other properties for sale in your community are not taking advantage of global exposure and local real estate offices are not experts in Internet marketing. Buyers need to be able to find you easily from anywhere in the world. There are many ways to go global that costs less than running a classified advertisement in your local newspaper. You really need to take advantage of the Internet and implement some of the marketing techniques to stand out online. Here is one proven plan that will cost you a little time but NO out of pocket expense.

Get your property on YouTube with a simple slideshow of your property! YouTube offers a huge international stage with as much as 12% of the online traffic! YouTube is currently the 4th most popular web site in the world! And best of all YouTube is FREE. In less than one hour in their help section with step-by-step instructions you will easily understand how to put your video on YouTube! What video you ask? I’ll tell you about a free and simple video software program in the next paragraph!

Video marketing offers amazing global exposure driving massive traffic to your business or real estate! But you may be a little concerned about the video! Don’t be! Animoto.com makes it very easy to create an online video slideshow for FREE. All you need is about 10 good photos of the interior and exterior of your property. In less than 30 minutes you will be an Animoto expert. You can add text and music to your slideshow and upload it directly to YouTube automaticlly. Yes, I did say spend some time in YouTube’s help section and it is a good idea but not absolutely neccessary. You will have to create an account on both YouTube and Animoto. In less than a couple of hours of your time you will have created a massive advertising campaign that the world can see.

Hot TIP…

When you use Animoto’s automated upload feature into YouTube you need to log into your YouTube account and make a few changes that will greatly improve the ranking of your video. Click on the edit tab and go to the tags section. Tags are the same as keywords and you need to add tags to improve you rankings! People will find you by typing a keyword that is synonyms with your tags. For example if your property is in Fort Lauderdale and in the community of “Coral Ridge” your tags may include the following: Coral Ridge real estate, Florida real estate, Fort lauderdale real estate, home, homes, house, property, condo, condominium, golf property, waterfront, beach, etc.

The point is you want your video to be optimized and search engine friendly. Also, give your video a title that includes your keywords.

Below is a video example of a real estate slideshow created on Animoto and featured on YouTube. I hope this inspires you to go Global with your marketing efforts. This video service is also availble through my Caribbean Marketing Company for just $69.00
