Connecting the Dots with Carra Riley


February 18, 2010 By Leave a Comment

By Guest Blogger Pamela Cendejas with Second Self Virtual Assistance

Today’s edition of “Connecting the Dots with Carra Riley“. First of all, we at Second Self Virtual Assistance have to give a hearty “thank you” to Carra Riley, the Countess of the Cosmic Cow Pie. We were privileged to be intereviewed by Carra on her BlogTalkRadio program. We were flattered that she recognized the value of what a virtual assistant can do for real estate professionals. As usual, Carra was very complimentary and generous. The time just flew by. There was so much to cover in such a little time. You can hear the entire interview by clicking the play button below.

Highlights of our interview included:

SEO
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) means adding keywords and descriptions that utilize key phrases you want to optimize for people looking for a Realtor® in your area. The keywords are what people type in the search bar of Google, Yahoo or Bing to find exactly what they are looking for (for example, kingwood real estate, homes for sale in colorado springs, etc.). After your site is optimized, we submit it to the search engines and a list of directories that Second Self has personally compiled over the years to help increase your SEO. We also link all your social networks, blogs and websites together so that you can increase your “Google Juice”, sending you to the top of the search engine rankings.

SOCIAL NETWORKS
With the use of social networks simply exploding over the last couple of years, it can be a bit overwhelming trying to keep up with your social networks. Second Self Virtual Assistance can create and optimize Facebook fan pages to help you capture the attention of potential clients with a personalized landing page that links to your website, blogs, etc.

Second Self was happy to procure an exclusive deal with HousingStorm.com, a new social networking site. The purpose of HousingStorm.com is to combine the best traits of Facebook and LinkedIn, with the added benefit of a blog thrown in. For any new account set up through Second Self Virtual Assistance, HousingStorm.com will offer a free one year upgrade to a Premium account. This is a savings of $300.

SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING
Trying to keep up with social media is an ongoing process. In an effort to stay on top of changes in social media, Second Self Virtual Assistance is currently enrolled in Social Media Marketing classes that teach the latest and greatest methods to market yourself via social media.

If you’re in need of a real estate virtual assistant, feel free to contact me. For a limited time only, if you mention that you heard our interview on BlogTalkRadio, we’ll give you a discount on your first month’s services. I look forward to hearing from you.

What are you doing this year for you?

Something that makes you feel special?

Have New Years promises to yourself gone by the wayside?

It is not too late!

It’s easy to get back on the wagon….

red wagon full of stuff

All you have to do is DO IT!

Install a DUMP button on the little red wagondump truck

See how easy that is… just push the button..

Ok… now back to work... Chris Brogan is someone who KNOWS today’s social media marketing.

He shares with us in marketing we should feel like we do at Disneyland!

Having lots of fun, loving what we are doing and never mind the price!

Chris Brogan is the Co-Author with Julien Smith of a book called: Trust Agents

Trust Agents…. Using the Web to Build Influence, Improve Reputation, and Earn Trust

This book could be your Valentine treat!

Chis shares from the heart on his blog!  Some of the ideas he had for Realtors and can be applied to almost any business.  The concepts are easy to do and make sense.

From Chris Brogan, December 23, 2009 @ Chrisbrogan.com

If I Were a Realtor

  • I’d write a blog about the location where I was selling.
  • I’d take tons of picture and post them on the blog.
  • I’d shoot walking tour videos all the time with a Flip camera and post them.
  • I’d shoot interview videos with people from my community.
  • I’d host meetups and tweetups for local residents, inviting people who are house hunting.
  • I’d find various niche communities (developers,stonemasons, parents) and start community platforms for them on Nin.
  • I’d empower as many local businesses onto the Net as I could, and help them get successful.
  • I’d encourage as many people in my community to join Twitter as possible, and I’d bundle them into a list.
  • I’d consider setting up hyperlocal news and event sites, or at least empower/support their construction.
  • I probably wouldn’t put pictures of me in a tie (or a dress) and write about the rates, I probably wouldn’t pitch you dozens of time in a row, I probably wouldn’t just rehash links to listings.

But that’s just me! CB

Trust Agents is an incredible book describing how relationship marketing works today.  Check out this link and watch the 4 minute video. It will be wall worth your time.

Every entrepreneur should read this book!

Trust Agent is an incredible resource bank of information.

So treat yourself for Valentines Day!

Jump back on the wagon and start working a plan, whatever that is for you and makes sense!

So what if it is February! Each day gives us an opportunity to start anew! No stress here!

Bottom line is to have fun with your plan, whatever that may be!
