Real Estate Agent Marketing - The Power of Web Articles

If you're a real estate agent marketing your services online, you probably need all of the search engine visibility and web presence you can get.

That's where article marketing comes in. Simply by writing helpful "how to" articles and publishing them online, you gain valuable links to your real estate website that will help with search engine visibility.

There's also a good chance your prospects will find the articles directly though their use of search engines (that is, if you've written your article around key phrases that they're searching).

That's why I recommend that article marketing be a part of any real estate agent marketing program.

Real Estate Agent Marketing - The Talkability Factor

There's an old expression that better marketing does not make a better product.

In other words, good marketing starts with the product. You must first make the product worth talking about ... and then you can move on to the marketing phase.

Real estate agent marketing is much the same way. Only in this case, the product is the real estate agent (or the agent's services, to be exact).

If an agent's service is remarkable people will talk about it. That's the very definition of remarkable -- people will make remarks about it. This makes your real estate marketing program much easier, especially since real estate is such a referral-based business.

What am I getting at? I'm saying that if you want to increase your referral rates, you need to make your services remarkable. I call it "talkability."

* What's my overall business objective?
* How does my marketing support this objective?

* How does my target audience use the Internet?
* How does my audience use the search engines (key phrases)?

These are only a few of the questions you should answer before taking your real estate marketing program online. But it's a good start.
