Agents Online is Making Progress

Unfortunately the real estate country website is not moving up in the ranking as well as it was originally planned. However, Agents Online is doing better than expected. Hopefully within the next few weeks the real estate agents online marketing experiment will demonstrate its value to new and veteran REALTORS

Save Time Posting With a Great Online Marketing Tool

I know that I am a bit tardy in my usage and adoption of Twitter.  After all, I saw that it is being used by TMZ on TV.  However, I did find a pretty cool tool to streamline posting on twitter and numerous other networks.  The tool is ver useful, especially if you are using multiple sites to attract real estate listing clients.  I have been using it to promote our discount offer for the the  Listing lead program from RedX service for some time.  

Ping.fm allows you to post a comment once and it will be propagated across the web to update your status on Twitter, Facebook, Myspace, Furl, and numerous other posting sites.    It is a fantastic tool to do some effective grass roots promotion. 

On a completely separate note, for the real time update on getting my site to the top of the search term Agents Online  the site has not yet been indexed by google.  It’s only been a couple of days, so patience is a virtue.  Real estate country is also lagging still

Launching a New Agents Online Blog

This is going to be a relatively short post. We have launched this morning the Agents Online blog and I wanted to share it with the world. Here is our new source for real estate agents online http://agentsonlinerealestate.blogspot.com

Working with Agents Online

We have just published two new real estate agent sites that I wanted to share with everybody. The first is for real estate agents online, the second is a squidoo lens specifically talking about the great resources available online for real estate agents. Enjoy them both.

Twitter and REALTORS

Because effective Twitter marketing means attracting as many followers as possible, setting up an autofollow, auto-responder and auto-reciprocate tool is a great way to improve your reach and campaign effectiveness.   I am doing this currently with Real Estate Country The tools that help in this process are Tweetlater.com which allows you to autorespond followers with a direct message as well as automatically reciprocate follows.  Combine Tweetlater.com with the keyword autofollow power of Twollow and you can automate most of the marketing with the exception of actually posting content.  There are rss twitter autopostng services that allow you to post content as well, but we won’t go into them in this discussion.  

For those people who follow you, you have three opportunities to create a relationship and there is a free online tool that automates this process.  After you have set up your Twitter account, uploaded your picture, profile and customized your background, go to Tweetlater.com.  This tool will allow you to automatically follow anybody who chooses to follow you, as well as create an auto-responder for anybody who chooses to follow you.  Using TweetLater, you can quickly automate the process of following those that follow you as well as create a short message that automatically goes to your follower.  Generally, this response is a “Thank you for the follows” message along with an invitation to visit your real estate website. 

The other tool that you want to take a look at is Twollow.  This tool will allow you to automatically follow individuals for a given keyword.  By combining Twollow, TweetLater and periodically cleaning out your account with Twitter Karma, you can attract a large number of followers within just a few days.  Each of whom you can promote your real estate services too.

Growing Real Estate Country

I haven’t had a lot of time to post to real estate country over the past few weeks, but I wanted to give everybody an update. We have updated the original Real Estate Country site with additional pages. Also, I have made a few posts in Active Rain to help attract visitors to this blog. The next step is to start creating a number of different pages on the many, many, many online networks that focus on the real estate and REALTOR industry. From there, hopefully we will get the organic growth that we are looking for.

Welcome to Real Estate Country

As I have posted on my blog on Active Rain, Real Estate Country is a way to promote systems and tools to real estate agents across the country. We are starting out small with a simple website and blog with the intention of getting this site as well as the associated content to a very high ranking.

Stay tuned either through this blog or the 4MySales viral marketing blog or even through our Active Rain account as we put Real Estate Country on the map.
