I always get a kick out of watching those YouTube videos that my friends forward to me. Well, someone’s taken this concept and created a more practical application to show and sell homes. Your clients don’t have to be a professional videographer to shoot video of a house, rental property, yacht, mobile home – whatever you can live in!  Simply shoot a video and upload it to ViewThisHome.com.

Show before you go!  This is a mantra for the ViewThisHome.com folks.

Join the video revolution to let potential renters or buyers view properties online and make a more informed decision to either eliminate them from consideration or go check it out in person.  It’s convenient and you can promote it as a “Green Solution” – less driving around, less wasted paper, etc.

Use of the site is free for everyone – just start an account, upload videos and you can begin promoting your properties immediately.

Obviously, this is a great idea for real estate professionals to enhance their brand awareness, interact with clients and gives them the ability to embed the videos into their online marketing materials.

Share this with your real estate clients!  Go to ViewThisHome.com today and see how you can become the “star” of a network of property videos.

You don’t have a lot of regular opportunities to hand them out, and you end up needing to update them before you’ve used them all. Of course, you can just recycle them, but first, consider these 15 creative ways to use those old business cards:

  1. Use them as bookmarks
  2. Leave short notes for family members
  3. Create new ones
  4. Use them for crafts
  5. Build a card castle
  6. Fold them in half and use as a money clip
  7. Use them to level a wobbly desk
  8. Shred them to make confetti
  9. Wallpaper your office (maybe a stretch, but still…)
  10. Make cubes (this is COOL!)
  11. Use them as name labels for books
  12. Tape them together to make a drawer liner
  13. Use them to clean tiny cervices (like the space next to the oven, in between the keys of your keyboard, around the bathroom sink, in between tiles…you get the idea)
  14. Use them to get organized
  15. Give some to the kids (trust me, this provides at least 20 minutes of entertainment and gets rid of about 30 cards at a time…more if you have a kid that eats paper.)

What do you do with your old business cards?
