Podcasts: The Next Marketing Frontier

Podcasting is no longer a far-flung marketing method. If you look around, realtors are starting to add them to their marketing toolbox. A podcast is a form of digital media. It can be audio, video, pdfs and more. The advantage is your voice is heard. Not like a blog or other written social content. Consumers can actually hear your voice. If done properly, they will hear "real estate" and "expert". It is a connection like no other.

Get Started

There are many packages available to help you create your podcasts. Basically, you need to:

Determine the nature of your podcast
Choose the products you will use to podcast-i.e. professional microphone
Choose your voice recording podcast software-i.e. iPodcast Producer, Audacity, Adobe Audition

Podcast Topics

Tips on home buying process
How to sell a home quickly
Staging and photo styling
Competitive pricing
Avoid real estate woes

And, jump on the podcast bandwagon. Have your clients and prospects see up front and personal your expertise in the industry.
