Content Marketing For Realtors
The term “content marketing” isn’t a new marketing method. It goes back over 150 years. During the American Civil War, Johnson & Johnson created guides for doctors on how to use their bandages. This type of informative content back in the 1860s was nothing more than “Content Marketing”.
Content Marketing was a marketing buzz word back in 2011 (around the time of the first Content Marketing World Conference). With clear benefits to businesses such as trust and brand building, seo benefits, and lead generation, the trend with content marketing is on the upswing.

Content Marketing Action Plan
If you don’t have a blog, then create one (contact us to learn how).
If you have a blog, start posting consistently on the blog. It doesn’t have to be time consuming. Just put out one post a week. They don’t have to be 800 word essays. A short post of 300 words is fine. Write about local real estate, new business in the area, mortgage rates, new loan programs, open house reviews, etc.
3 Tips To Convert Content Marketing Into Leads
Tip 1: Maximize your content. Use it outside of your initial post. You can put a blurb on Facebook with a link to your blog post. Send an email to your email list with a link to your post. You can take a few highlights of the post and use it for an article on a website such as ActiveRain. (We are doing it with this article. See it here).
Tip 2: Don’t just write a blog and hope the reader contact you. Close your post with a clear CALL-TO-ACTION. This could be directing the reader to another page on your website such as the property search or a link to a landing page that offers similar content to the blog post such as an ebook or report.
Tip 3: Don’t use PDF for your content such as ebooks and reports. Everybody is on mobile these days. If your goal is for the viewer to actually read it then you have to do better than putting your content on a PDF. Here is how your PDF looks on mobile devices :
