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.

One is a Countdown widget and the other is the Amazon Spotlight widget.

There are a couple of Amazon widgets that do different things, but Amazon Spotlight allowed me to specify the author’s book on Amazon.com.  What’s cool is that it has a Buy Now button and everything, allowing this Squidoo page to easily act as the book’s sales page, if you don’t already have one.

Squidoo provides many widgets to make your page interesting and interactive. The fun part is finding the ones that will give your page that extra pop.

The Countdown widget supplies an air of anticipation and excitement to the page when your book is scheduled to be published and you have the date. Not sure what it looks like after the date comes and goes. Will keep you posted on that one.

If you want, check it out at The Introverted Leader.  It’s a good example of how authors and writers can use Squidoo to promote their book.

Social Network Marketing to the rescue!

I read TONS of books and Rob will attest that I buy TONS of books too. He actually had the audacity the other day, to say that I was going to create a sinkhole in our basement with my vast collection. Humph… he just doesn’t get it.

One of my favourite and often referred to books is  by Maria Veloso. I haven’t read another book that has given me so much inspiration or guidance in creating great sales copy for the online world.

One of the best tips she offers is to find a sales page online that you think is really great and effective, and literally sit down with pen and paper and copy it word for word, five or six times. Yep, it’ll take you forever – some of those pages are LONG but you’ll soon start to feel the rhythm of the copy and understand the methods they use and it can become second nature.

This book is chock full of awesome ideas with plenty of examples to get you in tune to write your own dynamic copy that sells!
