Online Lead Generator Performance Stats

Are you asking yourself if you should you use Facebook or Twitter to direct real estate leads to visit your website? Are you considering purchasing leads from Homes.com, Trulia, or Realtor.com? Check out these stats from Real Trends. They show some interesting online lead generator performance stats back in 2012.

Listing Aggregators, Statistics and Online Performance? Your Thoughts. | Real Trends

There is an art to online lead generating. We have been taught not to self promote (sometimes by the biggest self promoters in the industry). Yet when we study online lead generator performance stats it is easy to see that there are many “middlemen” telling us to send social media customers to their websites. This is a 2014 update to this post.

In 2014 we intend to be more proactive in our lead generation. If we can leave out the middlemen and send the leads directly form our social media sites back to our websites we feel our own performance stats will go up. This takes a certain amount of “self promotion” and flexible websites.

It’s still all about offering value yet with Facebook business pages only showing about 20% of your posts we need to get more creative when it comes to sharing our own content. Right now we let other sites share our content and then buy it back from them. Is it time to take back control of some of our content.

I am sure this will upset some third party services, yet wouldn’t it be nice to let the pubic know what we do for a living? In fact, don’t you think the public thinks it is strange that you don’t ever directly promote listings or your real estate services?

I’ll be brave and go first. Here is my value added self promotion. Let’s see if I lose all of my “friends”. Contact us to schedule a free 15 minute Real Estate Coaching Call.

Now it’s your turn. I dare you to post a listing or two on Twitter or Facebook with a link back to your website. Test to see if you lose all of your followers. Start slow, like Gary Vee says, one every 10th post. (Now don’t go crazy and over do it.)

Find & Export LinkedIn Email Addresses

Find & Export Your LinkedIn Email Addresses

Since LinkedIn recently did an update, I thought I would show you the new way to find your LinkedIn email addresses and then to export them to a CSV file. This will be useful when uploading lists of your raving fans to your real estate email newsletters, blog lists, and real estate data bases.

So, just go over to the top and you’ll find your contacts. Go to All Contacts. Click on that. You’ll see how you can select all right over here at the top. Just go right over to the right where it says settings, and you’ll see that it’s been selected. And there’s all your contacts.

Then, right over here under the Advanced Settings on the right, you’ll see where it says Export LinkedIn Connections. Click that and it gives you some choices here of how you would like to export them. I like to use Microsoft Outlook CSV file so I’ll click that and select Export.

It’ll ask you, with this little capture box here, to type in the message, and there it is! Your connections’ email addresses were successfully exported!

Real Estate Coaching

Now you will be able to invite your LinkedIn followers to your buyer blog updates, your seller blog updates, events, and other helpful customer friendly local activities. Be sure not to use this to blast your listings to strangers. You do not want to wind up in permanent spam.

The best thing to do is to ask your LinkedIn friends to double opt in to your email list for updates, how to’s, local events, and real estate stats. Every time you have a new post on your real estate blog, have the post automatically sent to your new subscribers.

How to Get More Free Time

September 10, 2013 Coach Carol Mazur Leave a comment

Today’s Actionar® real estate coaching topic is time management. Take a look at what Google shows when you type in the words time management. Here’s how using the power of 7 will get you more free Time – Real Estate.

The lack of time is just a fear and the more that we begin worrying about how many transactions we my not have in the future, the more we start, like that first gentlemen there on the top left in the video, feeling like we’re running behind and we start running faster and faster. We get crazier and crazier and we need to just take a timeout and stop.

I want to show you the power of seven. It will help you live a better life. Take a moment each day and go into The Top Pro Center for 50 Sales and watch some of the Actionars. They are all less than seven minutes long and spent less than In seven minutes a day building your real estate business.

As you know, when Napoleon Hill studied the top leaders in American Industry they all had a common trait which was they each wrote down 6 items every day that they would commit to accomplish. So, as members of our top pro coaching group we are going to kick this up to 7 items a day that you need to accomplish, because you are Top Producers!

Find your “to do” form and write down seven items anywhere you want whether they’re under urgent, important, your personal to do, or delegated. Write them exactly where they go and to whom you can delegate.

Real Estate Coaching

Take some quiet time in the morning when and where you can be alone with your thoughts and take control of your day. Those a few minutes to plan 7 accomplishments in the morning. When you write down what you want to accomplish it will change your life.

Rather than running around and doing everything for everybody else, take a moment for yourself. Write, or enter seven items daily and in 7 days, as these 7 items are accomplished each day, you will begin to take control of your time and you’ll get to the top faster than you ever imagined. Soon, you will begin to live the life of a top producer. Use the power of seven it!

Warm Regards,

Carol Mazur – Top Pro Coach
