Social media marketing represents an enormous opportunity for real estate agents wanting to build their personal brand and market their listings online. Unfortunately, a 2015 study by Hubspot shows that although real estate agents posted more on social media than any other industry, the engagement that they received on those posts was the lowest. Not a great result. It means that there is enormous scope and opportunity to stand out if you are a real estate agent that knows how to leverage social...

Are you a victim of the Instagram follow unfollow garbage that's going on at the moment? If you’re active on Insta, I’m gonna guess you are. Here’s how it usually goes: You put up a new post after dinner one night, and you’re pretty damn proud of it. You add some hashtags so that it gets seen by more people (and because some social media person told you that's what you’re supposed to do). The likes and engagements start rolling’ ‘awn in [*but not as much as they USED to, because - algorithm - bu...

Okay guys, I’m just gonna come out and say it. Your - OUR - love of Instagram is getting a little obsessive, and quite frankly? It’s making me NERVOUS. I get it, because I love that gorgeous little visual-eye-candy babe of a platform too. It’s so pretty, and social, and there’s still good organic (see also: FREE) engagement. When you post a pic, people LIKE it and it makes you feel all fuzzy inside. And for that reason, it’s worlds apart from your barren engagement desert of a Facebook business ...

Let's get one thing straight. Crossing your fingers and hoping for the best isn't a social media strategy. I see TOO many businesses dive in, set up their socials, start posting like crazy and then STRUGGLE. Struggle to gain followers. Struggle with the follow/unfollow rubbish currently going on on Instagram. Struggle to get their posts seen. Struggle with what to post. So, rather than talking all social media strategy theory and watching your eyes glaze over, I thought I’d use the journey to la...
