Listen On The Podcast

Welcome back to our 116th episode of the Launch Your Farm Show where I interview Patti Sampson who is a CRM and Drip Campaign specialist.

Today Patti shares how she started nearly 20 years ago and was an early adopter of internet leads in real estate. She was on a mission to create as much value as she could for her clients and build something that could run automatically. 

After becoming obsessed with automation and follow up, Patti cracked the code and did 42 sales in her first year of real estate, proving she had what it takes to build a long term successful business.

In this episode, Patti and I talk about:

• Why it’s critical for agents to track their business so they can get the most from their leads and their time.

• Patti shares how agents make major mistakes when not using a CRM and how the right systems and tools not only make your business easier, they make you more money!

• What Patti has learned about why segmenting your database is one of the most powerful things you can do in your business, and how you can set it up effectively.

• A SUPER easy way to stay top of mind and relevant to your leads to ensure that they are calling YOU when they are ready!

• How to make more money nurturing leads and following up by creating long term follow up systems that do the heavy lifting for you.

• Plus a ton of other ideas that you can use to grow your geographic farm!


Last Piece Of Advice:

“Your goal before you do any more lead generation is to get yourself set up with systems. You have to plan to spend time learning your CRM. It’s worth taking the time.“

Patti Sampson – CRM and Drip Campaign Specialist

HI, I’M PATTI SAMPSON – CRM & DRIP CAMPAIGN STRATEGIST

Hi Agent friend… it’s Patti here and I am a real estate Real Estate Agent too.

In 2004, when I got my license, I got stuck in the the up-and-down cycle of agent life… showing homes, taking listings, running to my desk to write contracts, taking care of kids as a single mom, and then… at the end of the day (when I was exhausted), I still had to call/prospect my leads so they would not forget about me so I could keep my pipeline constantly  full.  Sound familiar?

I was fortunate to have generated thousands of leads in a competitive market, but I also had to learn how to efficiently and consistently prospect those leads so I could stay top-of-mind and convert those leads to closings fast (’cause feeding my kids was kind of important, if you know what I mean).

It was then my REAL ESTATE DRIP MAIL was born and my engagement system quickly soared me to the top of the leader board! 

Today, as one of the top real estate marketing companies, I am seriously passionate about sharing my system (within any CRM).

If you are struggling, it’s time to make a change and I can help you! On this page are several options to help you get a grip on the unforgiving-real-estate-agent-cycle once and for all. 

Remember… leads alone won’t grow your bank account!  THE MONEY IS IN THE FOLLOW-UP!

About Our Guest

Beatty Carmichael - Launch Your Farm - Beyond Self-Promotion: Effective Marketing that Generates Real Leads

Beatty Carmichael from AgentDominator.com

In 2012 Beatty Carmichael focused his company’s efforts exclusively on the real estate industry, and the beginning of Agent Dominator was birthed.  Starting with geographic farming using postcard marketing, the objective was to help agents get more listings.  In that pursuit, he mailed over 2 million postcards, conducted 21 split marketing tests, plus tested an additional 37 message variations, to determine what message, fonts, headlines and layouts actually worked best to get the most listings. By applying the results from these tests, many of his Realtor clients have earned around $100K or more in their first 12 months with postcard marketing alone.

Since the early days of geographic farming, Agent Dominator has expanded into other areas, developing its own cutting edge technologies that further increase more listings for its clients.  Agent Dominator has also expanded from being focused solely on geographic farming to now helping agents increase sales and referrals from past clients and sphere of influence, to helping commercial brokers acquire new properties to sell … and able to offer a money back guarantee on the results it produces.

Beatty and his company have worked with some of the top Realtors in the country — individuals earning over $1 million a year GCI from personal production, to leaders of teams who do 100-300 transactions a year, and other teams that range from 800 to over 2,100 transactions a year.  In addition to being the chief marketing expert, Beatty also publishes a blog and podcast named GetSellersCallingYou.com that is committed to helping agents get more listings by teaching them simple, best practices in marketing to do it.

About Our Guest

Albie Vas - Launch Your Farm Podcast

Albie Vas from Keller Williams in Las Vegas

I have been a licensed real estate agent in Las Vegas for 15 years( 14 with KW) but have been involved in different aspects of real estate since 2004 when my wife became a licensed agent. I’m a BOLD Grad and Tech Ambassador for our office.

I’ve worked in the best conditions (when it felt as though everyone was handed a house), to the worse and toughest economic downfall that hit our market. These times enabled me to adjust my strategies in order to help my clients but also remain a successful agent, where I saw many of my colleagues leave the business.

All these obstacles I overcame have made me the successful agent I am today. Throughout my real estate career, I’ve also spoken on several panels regarding using the internet and other technology for real estate. My last speaking engagement was for the Oklahoma Association of Realtors, which encompassed the entire state.

In the past, I had the opportunity to assist in co-writing a book that’s on Amazon’s best sellers for Real Estate books. The book is called “Luxury Homes Selling Mastery” and I was honored to have been asked by the author for my input.

Create Buzz-Worthy Content for Your Farm http://launchyourfarm.com/buzz-worthy-conte/ Thu, 13 Apr 2023 09:00:00 +0000 https://launchyourfarm.com/?p=2741 Meta description:
Learn how to create buzz-worthy content for your farm to generate interest, engagement, and leads. Discover tips and strategies for choosing relevant topics, engaging formats, and effective promotion channels.

The post <strong>Create Buzz-Worthy Content for Your Farm</strong> appeared first on Launch Your Farm.

]]>
When it comes to modern geographic farming strategies, one of your main goals is to establish yourself as an expert in your farming area. There are multiple ways you can position yourself as an expert. One of our favourite ways is by creating buzz-worthy content! When you learn to master this strategy you can generate consistent interest and engagement among potential buyers and sellers, while also building your brand and reputation in your community. In this article, we’ll explore some tips and strategies you can use to create content that will get people talking about you and your real estate business while also generating leads to fill your pipeline.

Create Buzz-Worthy Content for Your Farm - Launch Your Farm

Why Buzz-Worthy Content Matters

In today’s digital age, it’s more important than ever to create content that stands out from the crowd. Gone are the days of writing boring, mundane and cookie cutter content. With so much noise and competition online, it can be difficult to capture people’s attention and get them to engage with your brand. The great news is this is still how most agents operate. (if they even create content at all!) 

Buzz-worthy content, on the other hand, is content that generates excitement, interest, and discussion among your target audience. By creating buzz-worthy content, you’ll be able to:

  • Increase brand awareness and visibility
  • Build a loyal following of fans and followers in your farm and beyond
  • Attract new leads and potential clients with ease
  • Establish yourself as an expert and ambassador in your farm
  • Drive traffic to your website and social media pages that convert

Understanding Your Audience

Before you start creating buzz-worthy content, it’s important to understand your target audience. Start with thinking about who lives in your farm? Who are they? What are their interests, pain points, and motivations? What kind of content do they like to consume, and where do they go to find it? What things affect their day to day life? What local information and content would be relevant to them?

By answering these questions, you can begin to tailor your content to meet the needs and preferences of the people living in your farm, which will then increase the chances of it being shared and talked about.

Choosing Topics and Themes

When it comes to creating buzz-worthy content, it’s important to choose topics and themes that are relevant, timely, and interesting to your farm. Some ideas to consider include:

  • Local real estate market trends and data
  • Neighborhood profiles and guides
  • Home staging and decorating tips
  • Things to do in the community
  • News and hot topics
  • Local businesses
  • Q&A sessions with local experts and influencers
  • Touching and impactful local stories

Creating Engaging Formats

Once you’ve decided on the types of topics you will want to create, it’s important to present your content in engaging and attention-grabbing formats. Some formats to consider include:

  • Infographics and data visualisations
  • Videos and virtual tours
  • Podcasts and webinars
  • Blog posts and articles
  • Social media posts and stories
  • Interactive quizzes and surveys
  • Print vs Digital

Which formats you decide to work with will be determined by the platforms you are sharing on, your audience, your skillset, your time and what gets the best response.

Promoting Your Content

Once you’ve created some buzz-worthy content, it’s important to promote it through the right channels to ensure it reaches your target audience. It’s one thing to create the content, but if no one finds out about it, it’s all for nothing. So don’t miss this crucial step. Some strategies to consider include:

  • Sharing on social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn
  • Using paid advertising to boost visibility and reach
  • Partnering with local businesses and influencers to share your content
  • Including your content in email newsletters and marketing campaigns
  • Repurposing your content for different platforms and formats

Measuring Success

Finally, it’s important to measure the success of your buzz-worthy content to determine what’s working and what’s not. Some metrics you are going to want to track include:

  • Website traffic and engagement
  • Social media likes, comments, and shares
  • Lead generation and conversion rates
  • Brand awareness and recognition

By tracking these metrics, you’ll be able to identify areas for improvement and refine your content strategy over time. This will help you create even better content that further gets spread and builds even more awareness.

Conclusion

Creating buzz-worthy content is an essential part of any successful real estate marketing strategy. The great news is that by focusing on  hyperlocal content, you will be able to reach people who resonate with it and increase the chances of your content being shared by members of your community. By understanding your audience, choosing the right topics and formats, and promoting your content through the right channels, you can generate interest and engagement among potential clients and establish yourself as an expert in your farm. 

And the great news is that most agents aren’t willing to put the time in to become the hyper local expert. This leaves room for you to become the big fish in the small pond, and carve out your own niche.

Today Susanna shares how she’s built an amazing micro farm in her business by staying focused and determined to make a difference in her community.

  • Susanna shares how she started from a small start of 350 homes and learned to build deep one-on-one relationships that have paid dividends in her business.
  • What she did to stay focused after 8 months of not seeing a payoff, and how that moment shaped her business in the future.
  • A SUPER easy way to boot strap your farm start up if you don’t have a lot of cash to get going.

Episode 102 – Grant Findlay-Shirras – Parkbench.com

Listen On The Podcast

Welcome back to our 102nd episode of the Launch Your Farm Show where I interview Grant Findlay-Shirras with Parkbench and the Become A Local Leader Podcast.

Today Grant shares how he got into the real estate marketing world, kind of by accident after working in the fitness space. Grant ended up building a marketing machine with his wife for her real estate business and quickly realized that other agents could benefit.

That led Grant to build Parkbench, which has quickly become one of the top marketing platforms for real estate agents by building a platform for hyper local content and helping agents become local leaders in their community.

In this episode Grant and I talk about:

  • Why he focused his attention on helping agents help local businesses make more money and how that translates into more transactions for the agents.
  • Grant shares how taking a community first approach can lead you to become the local leader very quickly and build relationships you never thought possible.
  • What type of content drives consumers and how you can leverage content to position you as the local expert and ambassador in your farm.
  • A SUPER easy way to add value to local businesses in your farm that helps separate you from the competition which makes it even easier to book more appointments.
  • How being a local expert can help you convert more appointments and gets buyers and sellers chasing YOU rather  than the other way around.
  • Plus a ton of other ideas that you can use to grow geographic farm!

Connect with Grant Findlay-Shirras on their site at www.Parkbench.com and be sure to find them on social media as well. You can check out their reviews online as well to find out more what other agents think about them too.

  • What agents need to do to stay relevant in a shifting market and why that matters more now than ever.
  • A SUPER easy way to leverage technology to create actionable processes and personalized moments to wow your clients and create a flood of referrals.
