Ways to Get More Leads for your Real Estate
business
1. Post your free profile on UltimateHomeListings.com — When you
post your profile on UltimateHomeListings.com, you automatically qualify to receive
leads from our real estate network. Additionally, we use targeted advertising
on Google, MSN, and Yahoo to draw traffic to your listings. We specialize
in finding home sellers, including those who need to prevent foreclosure by getting
their homes sold FAST. We suggest the "Services" section for your profile.
Did you know: You can draw targeted traffic to your
listings on UltimateHomeListings.com by selecting your profile URL as the target
URL. Buyers can then see your profile, as well as click on and view ALL of
your other listings.
2. Create a Newsletter — The promise of helpful information sent
directly to you on a regular basis is a tempting offer for most people. So why not
create your own? You don’t even have to write all the content; you can ask other
realtors if you can use their articles. Be sure to include information about your
products or opportunities in each issue, but don’t display the ads too prominently.
Otherwise subscribers will think your newsletter is just one big ad.
3. Buy Your Leads — One of the easiest ways to get leads is to
buy a leads list. Of course, this is also one of the most expensive. But it works
well if you have a good lead source. Ask other real estate agents who use this method
to point out the best sources for buying lists. Make sure the lists you’re buying
are of people who have truly expressed an interest in getting information. Otherwise,
you’ll be wasting your money because they will delete your message without reading
it.
4. Talk About It — Never pass up an opportunity to talk about your
real estate business. You could even give a presentation on starting your own real
estate business to local groups or on talk radio. The subject of your real estate
business is bound to come up, but don’t force it. Establish yourself as an expert
by talking about real estate related subjects, and when people find out what you
do, they’ll automatically be interested. You may also find many opportunities to
talk about your business in chat rooms and on newsgroups. These are places where
people who want to talk will, so throw the subject out there and see who responds.
5. Rank High — Use pay-per-click search engines to their maximum
potential. Choose keywords that will get you ranked high so you can get people to
your online ads, such as on UltimateHomeListings.com. But don’t just focus on keywords
about your business. Use keywords that will draw the people who want to sign up
for your newsletter or take advantage of your services. Let your newsletter and
your services do the selling.
