Can I use my existing Facebook account?
Yes, we are creating a separate page.

What if I already have a business page?
We can build over that page or create a new one.

Will my current "friends" and people that have already "liked" me see this page?

No, this page is for "new" likes and friends.

How can I get my current friends to see this new page?

1. Email an announcement or create a Facebook post that takes them directly to the new business page. This page can be found anytime on the left hand column of Facebook, under the link to your wall.

How can I see if people visit this page?

Facebook offers page statistics  with what they call "Insights".  These powerful statistics display in a graph format and include "Page Overview", "User", and "Interactions".  How many people viewed your posts?  How many people "Liked" your posts, photos, or videos?  How many people have "Liked" or  "Commented" on those?  How many people "Liked" your page on a certain day.

Let's let unbiased experts answer the question of the benefits of having a Facebook Business page. I copied the top reasons from a blog post on Social Media Today by William Wells III:

http://socialmediatoday.com/william-wells-iii/307559/your-facebook-friend-requests-bad-business-annoying-me

On top of all these reasons, the advantage of having an RSS feed of your own listings and blog posts right onto your Business wall, lead capture forms that feed into your Real Pro Systems back office and drip email campaign(s) and a profressional look that matches your website is unbeatable.

Excerpted from: 

SEO (Search Engine Optimization): Facebook Business Pages are indexed by search engines.  Personal pages... not so much.   In this day and age, with the unfathomable amount of pages and websites on the Internet, you need to be doing everything possible to improve your online visibility.  A well constructed and engaging "Facebook Business Page" will go a long way in helping make up for what your website is not currently doing for you.

"Friends" verses "Likes"... or "Fans": There is NO limit on the number of fans... or people who can "Like" your Facebook business page. However, there's a cap on the number of "Friends" you can have on a profile page.  That cap is 5,000. Do you really want to set limitations like that?

One "Profile"... many "Business Pages": You can have multiple business pages... however, you can have only one profile page.  Why is this important?  Think outside the box for a moment.  What if you're a Real Estate Agent by day... and you're a Karaoke Deejay by night.  Nope... didn't make that example up!   Or perhaps you own a small Bed & Breakfast, but you also own a consignment shop in town.  Didn't make that one up either.  Point is... you can manage multiple, yet individual, Facebook Business pages... all within one Facebook account.

Statistics and Monitoring Activity: Everyone loves statistics... hits... visits... etc.  Facebook Business Pages have such a thing.  It's called "Insights".  These powerful statistics display in a graph format and include "Page Overview", "User", and "Interactions".  How many people viewed your posts?  How many people "Liked" your posts, photos, or videos?  How many people have "Liked" or  "Commented" on those?  How many people "Liked" your page on a certain day?  And much more!  This information is invaluable when it comes to making your Facebook Business page more useful, engaging, and successful!  There's no such information available on a profile page.

"Landing Pages" and additional "Tabs": Technology exists now for you to turn a Facebook business page into a mini website.  For example, you could integrate an interactive business directory or events calendar right into your Facebook business page.  You could introduce an additional tab which might have printable coupons and special "Facebook Only" promotions.   This is impossible with a personal page.

Your Facebook "Friend Requests": Bad for Business... Annoying to Me!

If you already have a business page we can make yours sizzle! If you don't have a Facebook business page, we can help you get one setup.

Here are a few examples:

For current cleints, the setup process is easy and includes the following.
1. Creating the same look and feel of your current Real Pro Systems’ website.

2. a) slide-show of featured properties; b) IDX/Broker quick search widget; or c) embedded YouTube video.

3. 5 links from your home page that direct traffic to your website. We recommend the links for the page but you can request they be changed during the setup process.

4. Buyer and seller lead capture forms. Programming to link the forms to your database so you receive lead notifications and leads go into the proper drip campaigns.

We are still in the Alpha phase, but I can see that this will take Real Pro System's to a whole new level.... again.

I thought this was a great widget, expecially for real estate agents that drive all day long.

If you decide to check it out, be careful to not sign up for the paid service  unless you want all the bells and whistles.

Drive safely!

I was surprised to hear that he said "print advertising is not dead" and he had a great magazine article to back up this statement. His approach is to blend traditional advertising with the internet.

He went on to share how he uses print to find Sellers. One techniche he shared is shown in this example.

An update to that post is that he has had 6 appointments, 4 listings,  and 3 closed deals. $25K on $2900 investment. Great RIO!

His magazine ad (25,000 distribution that he showed on the webinar) resulted in 55 CMA requests and 2 sales. Cost was $375. Need I say more?

You should hear what he says about targeting investors or buyers looking for bank owned properties.

I was also very impressed as to how he uses Facebook advertising to generate business too. He was able to target a very specific audience of golfers in his community.

The take away for me was if you are going to spend money, spend it wisely. To be successful you need to try new things, be innovative and think out of the box.

If that is not you, don't reinvent the wheel, just follow other successful agents. :)

Step two- Go to “My Website” then your featured property section and view all listings. You will see a link under a new column called “Craigslist ad” Click the “View” link.

Step three- Copy and paste the code into your Craig’s List post.

Here is an example of what the ad looks like.

Hi All,

I wanted you all to know that 1,264 days ago a buyer came in to our buyer stealth site and has been getting emails, newsletters and of course listings.  Yesterday he called and thanked me for “thinking of him” all this time,  he is an Alaska Airlines pilot and is being moved to Portland and will be buying a house with us today.

There is no way this every would have come close to happening without RPS and all the work we all did/do to create and maintain it. 

Thanks all….  ROB

Hi Charlee,

We received a total of 768 CMA requests on a mailing of 62,000. Not bad percentages. That was the last week in February and we have had 6 appointments 2 listings and one closed deal.

Jason

I think Jason had great timing with is marketing efforts. It was right before spring, just when sellers are starting to interview agents and prepare for the Spring and Summer markets.

Nice job Jason and thanks for sharing!

www.oneilrealtors.com

See previous post - 313 CMA requests in 24 hours.

I really do respect all of you out there in this industry. It can be a very tough profession and I must say that a good agent really does earn their commission!

A big thank you to my buyer's agent, Paige Wheelhouse, who never gave up on us. She was always available to show homes, answer questions, never pressured us into anything and was able to negotiate and get our sale closed in 5 weeks.

Hiring a Virtual Assistant has several advantages:

1) Utilize a Virtual Assistant only when you need them.

2) A Virtual Assistant is an independent contractor with their own equipment - no overhead, no benefits, no payroll tax, no insurance.

3) You will not pay for the learning curve of a Real Estate Virtual Assistant.  They will already be trained on the tools you require.

4) Hire an expert - Real Estate Agents are being asked to wear too many hats.  They are spread way too thin and because of technology, they don't always know how to accomplish what needs to be done to stay on top.  A Real Estate Virtual Assistant is an expert and specializes in Marketing for Real Estate and Social Networking.

5) Utilizing a Virtual Assistant will free up your time to SELL property or work reasonable hours.
