Social Media:

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google + and there are many more! These are currently the most commonly used social media sites and they will get you noticed – we promise! So if you don’t already have an account with at least one of the above sites, then it’s time to get signed up.

Ah you might say, but what a pain I have to update all my different sites individually, yuck and time consuming! Well with your Ubertor Website you can link your site to your chosen social media network or networks and any updates you make on your Ubertor Website – IE. listings and blogs, will be automatically available on your chosen social networking sites for your friends, clients and potential clients to see, like and share (if interesting enough).

Think FREE social advertising, and marketing. Simple and very effective… So are you signed up yet?

SEO (Search Engine Optimization):

• Keep your content interesting and updated, especially your title tags. Choose different keywords for different pages. Choose keywords that accurately describe your business but don’t narrow the search too much. Most people will type in general words when doing a search on Google.
• A great way to improve your SEO is to add external links to your webpage, this will help you to give extra information to your clients and make them feel good that you offered them a link to that information. This simple addition to your site, will raise your SEO and also bring clients back as they know you genuinely want to help them.
• You can monitor your progress with your SEO on Google Analytics. You can find out how many customers you’re attracting, how much you’re selling and how users are engaging with your site(s).

Design and Layout:

Blogging:

This is where you show the world you are an expert at what you do. Blogging gives you the stage to build your brand and establish you as an expert in your field.

It gives you the opportunity to:

• Add the human aspect to your website. Sure you can have a biography page, but your blog is where you can be you.
• Be creative. You can write about anything, and show the world what you really think about any given topic.
• Help the SEO of your website. Want to be found for a specific search term? Try blogging about that topic and see what happens.

Utilize The Tools of the Listing Module:

With the listing module you’re able to:

• Display stunning HD photos using the Ken Burns effect.

• Add Walk Score to your property
• Attach any associated files.
• Add virtual tours.

Housing Industryâ€s First Branded YouTube Channel

According to Joel, “Theyâ€re hoping to source user-generated (read consumer) videos from home sellers who will work in conjunction with their Century21 agents to produce a video walkthru of their properties.”

If Blogging, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Linkedin mean nothing to you or if your looking to understand more about social media marketing then Darren and Julie’s new ebook is for you. It is an easy read with examples tips.

Here is a little video they put together explaining more about their book.

Ubertor: In your opinion, why is video so great?

WellcomeMat: Iâ€m going to switch your question up a bit and just list off the reasons why I quit a six figure job, made $0 in the last 15 months, spent my life savings, work seven days a week and strained my marriage to make WellcomeMat.com happen:

1) Video saves everyone (buyers, renters, and sellers) a ton of time. Buyers are the most obvious winners in the video equation. Simply put, they donâ€t have to visit places in person unless they know that they might make a move. Buyers†agents save this time too! The sellers and listing agents in the video equation deal with less “window shoppers” in person.

2) Real estate professionals that use video as a listing tool make more money. Homes with video tours attached stand out hugely amongst photo and text-based listings. Although there are not many sites able to tell how much more traffic video-based listings get, the evidence is mounting in videoâ€s favor. It is a huge magnetic pull! Add to that the fact that videos will find their way to page one of an organic Google search (because of Google Universal Search), usually within the first week of being posted, and now weâ€re talking! Lastly, we are hearing time and time again how powerful a good video is when trying to win a listing over competing agents/brokers. I have yet to meet a listing agent that has used video and stopped.

3) Video is the closest thing to a real walk through that you can get online. There are many real estate marketers that view videoâ€s realness as a scary thing. But, their assumption is a fluffed property online will yield more sales. Not true! Matching the physical walk through, and the experience homeowners might have living in a particular neighborhood should be the goal of video.

4) It is a “green” technology, helping to us to use less fuel and be less wasteful.

We often hear about how video is more difficult than using photos, or virtual tours, and more expensive. Completely true! So what? Harvard is more difficult and expensive than a community college, but attending will yield better results (disclaimer: I am a mere University of Colorado at Boulder grad). What our team always finds in terms of adversity to video is a cost analysis: video verses photos, or video verses virtual tours. These discussions are, for the most part, worthless. Use everything you can to win listings and make more money! Photos rock too. And, there are many video producers that have figured out ways to charge less and do more volume. The average cost of video has decreased massively since WellcomeMat first went live (June 2006). Without question, competition is working its magic within the production side of real estate video.

Ubertor: How are people to best use WellcomeMatâ€s system and technologies?

WellcomeMat: I would start by simply stating dive in! Our team supports our users better than any tech company I can think of. And, we have about 1000 video producers ready to help you get going as well. We are always amazed at how much WellcomeMat video producers want to help people understand how to do it themselves. Truth told, people that want to sell/rent a lot of properties cannot spend their time shooting their videos. They know this, but they also know that many people want to try video themselves.

In general, think of WellcomeMat.com as a one stop shop to: get professionally produced videos (or upload your own), create the best quality video experience for your viewers, and get your videos into every spot desired on the web (blogs, listings landing pages, Craigslist etc.). To us, itâ€s all about making stars out of those using video well, making sure our members have fun with video, and enriching our members†sites/web pages.

Ubertor: What makes WellcomeMat better than YouTube?

WellcomeMat: Nobody is “better” than YouTube! For what YouTube does, they are the best. That site is raw volume and SEO. There arenâ€t many smart people questioning the amount of traffic videos get on YouTube; and, now that Google owns them, videos posted on YouTube show up quickly within organic search results. What WellcomeMat does better than anyone is a) helps people gather high-quality content through support and our videographer directory, b) provides the highest quality playback (clarity, chaptering for clickable scenes etc), and c) helps people to get their content into the right contexts. Context is a big deal right now. People are posting their videos to a bunch of different sites that provide zero relevance to a real estate search. If the intention is to show up within search engines, posting videos to the generalist video sites makes sense. If you want to use quality video where it should be used (your site(s) and your blog), WellcomeMat is where you do all of this.
