Three Things You’ll Learn In This Episode    - Maximizing our social media skills How do we level up our expertise in an era where social media is king?    - The power of owning your truth  How can we own our truth and use it to uplift ourselves?   - How to incorporate social selling into our businesses There are enough opportunities for everyone, but how do we find them through social media and incorporate them into our businesses?     Guest Bio   Gersha Porter is an Associate Broker with Porter Premier Homes and has been a lifelong resident of Baltimore City and Baltimore County.

Your Social Media Game Plan

When it comes to publishing content, most of us are so much more focused on Facebook and Instagram, that we miss out on massive opportunities with YouTube. It’s a platform that can help real estate agents inexpensively generate leads and become more visible. How can we start creating quality content? What are some of the unique benefits we get from YouTube that we don’t get anywhere else? On today's episode, Realtor, YouTube superstar and bestselling author, Karin Carr shares a wealth of information on the brilliant systems she’s built to drive traffic, monetize and generate leads on YouTube.     3 Takeaways Spending 5-10 hours trying to edit one video to make it perfect takes time away from being face to face with clients. It’s better to pay someone to do it for us for $10 - $20 per hour so we can focus elsewhere.   If you’re filming YouTube videos on your phone, hold your phone in landscape not portrait. Unlike Facebook and Instagram, filming horizontally is best.    Make a YouTube video and embed it in your blog and then link the blog post in the description of your YouTube Video. You will be driving traffic both ways, which Google loves.    Guest Bio-  Karin Carr is a full-time Realtor in Savannah, Georgia, proud Air Force wife, and mom.

How to Dominate Your Real Estate Market With YouTube Videos w/Karin Carr

One of the things real estate agents have working in their favor is their local knowledge, but the problem is many of us aren’t leveraging that in our marketing and social media content. What strategy can we apply to grow our own local brands? On this episode, Director of Strategy at Shred Media, Jason Frazier shares how we can build awareness, relevance and develop true relationships in our local markets.    3 Takeaways Attention is currency, but that’s only the first step. After we gain attention we have to be relevant and then create an impact with your message so that we have staying power.    Most agents avoid an online presence because they think only millennials use social media. The truth is millennials aren’t the only ones going online, even older consumers are using social media.   If our goal in real estate is a long term career and legacy, we should embrace social media to become and remain relevant.
