Alright, part 2 of 7 Ways to Create Real Estate Content is here. In case you missed the first part of this short series, just head over to “7 Ways To Create Real Estate Content- How to Write Article For Your Real Estate Website In 15 Minutes”- Part 1
Let’s get right to it, shall we?
Real Estate Content Secret #4
Here’s one secret that many people don’t know and utilize. Public domain sites can be a goldmine for anyone on the internet. Why? Because public domain sites are excluded from copyrights. What that means is that you can take the content from public domain and use it in your own business.
How does that apply to real estate investors? Continue reading! »

Every now and then, I get a question asking me how someone, who isn’t very experienced in real estate, could write real estate content on their website. Most of the time, real estate investors are looking for real estate content that will help them convert potential buyers, motivated sellers, and private investors into clients. They want to know how to write an article without breaking their back or their bank account. Now, before I go into how and what, I need to make a disclaimer here.
Disclaimer
I am in no way suggesting that you should lie, plagiarize and/or tell people something that you wrote something when in fact, it was someone else’s work. The strategies I am going to share with you here do not promote that kind of behavior. If you are planning on doing that, stop reading right now and look elsewhere. However, If you want to do it right, these strategies will help your business in the long run. Believe me, they work. You just need to take massive action.
Now, since that’s out of the way, let’s get right into it.
Real Estate Content Creation Secret #1
This is an easy one strategy but it does come with a downside. Continue reading! »

Every so often, I get a question in my mailbox where my readers are asking me if there is some kind of a plug in or an application that allows them to see real estate listings on the phone.
Well, for those of you asking about that technology, today is your lucky day. Why? Because Trulia.com has just went realtor mobile with their new application that will allow you to view houses on your iPhone.
You can access Trulia’s Real Estate Mobile Application here.
The new mobile application, which can be used on your iPhone, BlackBerry, Blackjack, Sony Ericsson and Nokia, will allow you to search homes for sale near your location, and scroll through full color photos. The app is also integrated with Google Maps so you can get instant directions to the listed properties.
So, how can this benefit you? Continue reading! »

After so many requests, I have decided to share with you some of my outsourcing secrets. These secrets will not only give you more time to do what’s important in your business, but they will help you to scale your business to a new level. Why? Because when you outsource, you have more time to do business activities that you wouldn’t be able to do otherwise. You have more time to do what is important and what really matters in your business. And as you probably know by now, when you do the activities that matter to your business growth, like doing deals, wholesaling your properties, and counting your money (I had to put that one in there), your business grows.
But I’m not going to write a long blog post explaining my outsourcing secrets. I’m not going to write out my outsourcing websites here where you can outsource everything and anything you can possibly think of. Not here. So if you expected that written here on this blog post, I’m sorry to disappoint you.
Instead, I’m going to give you something better. You didn’t think I wasn’t going to over deliver, did you? Good. Here’s what I am going to do for you. Continue reading! »

Here’s yet another reason why you need to embrace the internet for your real estate marketing. Recently, Washington Post wrote an article on their website how one woman, who was looking for a real estate agent to sell her house, used the internet to find her new agent. Are you surprised? I hope not. Why? Because this happens every day. People don’t use the traditional means of selling or buying their houses as much anymore. Internet is here and it is here to stay.
Want to know how she did it? Then read the post on Making Connections on Washington Post.
I have been saying that for quite a while now. In my Top 7 Real Estate Social Media Sites post, I talked about how real estate investors and agents can use social media, who I think will explode into something even bigger, to gain more leads and build their professional credibility.
To expand even more on the subject, I went ahead and gave you some action items in my 10 Ways Real Estate Investors Can Use Social Media post. The ideas in there are very powerful, even Washington Post doesn’t mention it in their article.
But what happens when people start arriving at your site? What do you do then? You need to catch their attention and their contact information, right? One of the most powerful ways to catch your visitors information is to Squeeze Your Real Estate Visitors. Huh? Squeeze your visitors? My “To Squeeze or Not To Squeeze? That is the question” post will answer that for you.
So, as you can see from Washington Post and this blog, real estate marketing is not about direct mail, postcards, bandit signs, and business cards anymore. (Don’t give me wrong, direct mail and postcards are still very powerful.) But it’s much more than that. Real estate marketing has gone virtual. Your marketing strategy needs to incorporate all of those techniques to get you to the top of your local market. And that’s why I am here for you. That’s why I write on this blog, hoping that you embrace this strategy and use it in your business.
So, tell me in the comments below, what have you found to be the biggest roadblock for you when it comes to marketing your business on the internet? Is it traffic? Is it acquiring leads? Is it not knowing where to start? Don’t know how to setup a website? Share you comments below and I’ll do my best to answer them for you on my future posts.
To Your Success,
Peter K.
P.S.
Most of those frustrations I listed above can be outsourced. That’s right! You can have someone else do it for you and for a very good price. Watch this blog because my next post will be about how and where you can outsource your business tasks.

After my recent video post on How to Read Your Motivated Seller’s Mind and Leave Your Competition Behind…With Just One Tool, Right Now and For Free, I received many emails from my readers asking me different questions on the discussed topic. One theme that seemed to carry across most of the question was around the following topic. Basically, here’s what you want to know:
“Peter, the tool that you gave us is an amazing addition to my real estate investing resources. It will be extremely helpful for me to find out what my prospects are searching for on the internet. By knowing the most popular searches in my own area, I can get in front of them and direct them right to my site. But how to I read their mind when they are on my site? Is there a way for me to know what the visitors on my site are doing? Where do they click? Where do they go? What do they want?”
Think about it…
Wouldn’t it be great if you could literally watch your website visitors? What if you could see their every click and mouse movement? What if you could see a movie of their visit on your site? What if you could see a heatmap showing you where your visitors click the most? Do you think that would be helpful? Continue reading! »

Today, I want to write a different post. In a way, its an experiment. if you have been reading my blog for at least few weeks, you know that I put a lot of work into my blog and the posts I write. I also try to provide you with quality posts that you can take an use in your own real estate business.
I want to point out though, just because some of that stuff that I’m sharing with you doesn’t seem like it fits real estate, believe me it does. Why? Because from my experience, doing real estate marketing on the internet requires you to look at the marketing aspect a little different. You need to be able to apply internet marketing strategies to get your site on top of Google and have people signup to your list so you can wholesale your properties to other investors, sell them to the retail buyers or find new deals for your own portfolio.
Unlike other real estate marketers, I believe I have that unique twist on real estate marketing where I can give you the information you need to succeed on the internet.
So when you read my posts such as Top 7 Social Media Real Estate Sites, Google’s Free Keyword Finally Gets a MakeOver, Using Real Estate Internet Marketing To Flip Your House, Bribe Included, or 10 Ways Real Estate Investors Can use Social Media, you should read them with one goal in mind: “How I can I use that in my business?”
Today, I want to give me more quality information that will help you succeed on the internet with your real estate business.
But what do you want me to write about?
What would you want to know when it comes to marketing your business on the internet?
I need you to tell me what you want to know and I’ll try my best to give it to you. Just to give you a little glimpse of what’s coming in the next week…
“How to Read Your Website Visitor’s Mind To Get Them To Do What You Want Them To Do“- Do you know that you can literally see what your visitors are doing on your site? Sounds cool, doesn’t? Well, I’ll give you a cool tool that you can implement in 5 minutes to see what your visitors are doing, where they click and so on.
I am also going to give you my Top Outsourcing Secrets and Sites that you can use to free up some of your time so you can focus on what’s important in your business, doing deals.
So…
Here’s What I Got For You
I have this wealth of information. I am willing to give you a lot of it for free just for asking. No strings attached. No catches. And in a minute you’ll see how there won’t be any catches.
Here’s What It Will Do For You
You will receive quality information directly from me. If you read any of the comments left on my other blog posts, you’ll see that I give away stuff that most real estate investors don’t. I am moving the free line. When you ask for something, I’ll try my best to make it a post here. The post I’ll write will be informative with specific action you can take right away in your own business.
Here’s What I Want You To DO
I want you to tell me what you want me to write about in the comments below. Tell me anything and everything you would want to know about when it comes to marketing your business on the internet. Usually, I would ask you to email me with your questions and you still can, if you prefer. But I want you to post them here so your fellow readers see that I respond to my readers and actually care about what they want to know about. I want you to read what you want to read. So, post your questions in the comments below. I’ll read them and will do my best to answer them in the future blog posts.
Unless you want me to start charging for this information :) That’s fine too
To Your Success,
Peter K.
