Final Thoughts
As you ponder over this list and realize it’s not that hard to come up with good ideas, consider these tips as well. No one said you can’t post an article once. Take some of your most popular posts and recycle them over the coming months, staggering them out well enough most people won’t notice. Take note on topics that get attention and see if you can create similar topics for even more interaction. The key is to get people to remember you and also get them to your website! Always give them a reasons to visit your real estate website. Ideally, get them to sign up for some form of drip marketing like New Listing Notifications (IDX solution), MarketBoost market reports or your marketing newsletter.
