Maximizing Your Potential!

Many people wonder if posting to craigslist.org is really the highest and best use of their time. I have an answer for you…

You bet your bippie, it is! The key is to post often and keep it interesting.

Here are a few tips for how to draw more traffic to your craigslist postings…

1. Use all 4 pictures in every posting

2. Be sure to put one link, but only one link, in every posting

3. Use an 800# for tracking your results

4. Have them click on a landing page

5. You should be posting approximately 15 ads per day

Be sure that when you are formulating your strategy that you have in mind what type of buyer you want to attract. For instance, it might be condo buyers, then you would post condo listings. Or it could be single family residences, perhaps in a specific neighborhood or area.

Good luck!

It seems every where one turns that someone is recommending that one, ‘Posts a Blog!’

So, What is it???

A blog (a contraction of the term “Web log”) is a Web site, usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions …

Cool. So, one is making comments about something or describing something. Now what the heck am I going to comment about???

If you are a Realtor, you could comment about a neighborhood or a particular development that you like in your fair city.

If you are a Dentist you could comment on the latest techniques or procedures coming in your field. You might also explain a technique or procedure and why it is so vital for good oral hygiene.

If you are a Loan Officer you might want to talk about rates or the different programs that are available.

The key is to figure out what your clients, not you, would be interested in learning about.

There are many tools to help you figure this out on the web but perhaps the easiest thing to do is survey your clients every day and find out what they are interested in. Once you have established a top 5 you are in business and can start doing posts regularly.

Next time I’ll talk about video blogging!
