Facebook news feeds are like the crawl on CNN. You’ve seen the scrolling words on your TV screen. Item after item after item that are “nice to knows” until there is breaking news. Then, we get a big  “BREAKING NEWS”  in red that hooks us in. The job of real estate salesperson on Facebook is to participate in the mundane while figuring out a way to break through. What’s the big red “BREAKING NEWS” items in your network’s world that will impact you? This “big news” often includes major lifestyle announcements like getting a new job, announcing a pregnancy, getting engaged/married/divorced and even retiring. These lifestyle announcements occasionally have a direct correlation to housing needs but are sometimes overlooked by real estate professionals. When someone in your social stream mentions any of these lifestyle triggers they are opening a door of opportunity and you should be prepared to walk right in. To effectively execute this strategy you need to follow these thre...

A national multiple listing service run by the National Association of Realtors should be ready by late summer, the large trade association announced today. NAR has been working for the last decade to put all of the nation’s agent-represented homes for sale into one database, consolidating the 800-plus multiple listing services in the U.S. in the process. "Everybody has been on board with the national MLS idea for a long time and we’ve been working on it for the last decade," the trade group said in a press release. Brian Boero, co-founder of real estate marketing and design firm 1000watt, who predicted NAR’s national MLS move in one of his "Friday Flash" blog posts five years ago, said, "It’s a great move by NAR. I wonder what took them so long."  "It’s about damn time," said Matt Cohen, chief technology officer of real estate consulting firm Clareity Consulting. "In some cities there were five or more MLSs!" Cohen said. ...

Most bloggers I know want to reduce their bounce rates. Sometimes it can seem as if it doesn’t matter what the bounce rate for a page actually is , we want it to be lower! Image courtesy stock.xchng user ColinBroug While it’s a stretch to expect we’ll hit a zero bounce rate, for most bloggers, it is worth looking at your bounce rates regularly, and trying to find ways to reduce them where appropriate. While blogging’s about people—not just numbers —bounce rates can give you hints about the ways individuals are using your blog, and where you can help them out.

By JESSICA SWESEY We hear a lot about "content marketing" these days. It's the new black. In reality, it's the same stuff great marketing has always consisted of but with a new name. Anyone who's dabbled in social media is already doing content marketing to some extent. But something about the term content can be intimidating. It should be. Creating things your audience looks forward to, enjoys and shares with others is tough, sweat-inducing work. It's important, though. And worth a second look after the initial knee-jerk reaction many companies have: "We're not a publisher, we're a __________." Jessica Swesey Think of this: Red Bull is not a publisher. Neither is Whole Foods , Nike or BMW . Yet each of these brands has g...
