Raynor James writes for FSBOAmerica.org where you can get an answer to the question of how do I sell my home in this tough real estate market.
The web has revolutionized the field of real estate like no other niche. Well, maybe excluding online dating, but you get the point. The web has allowed people to point and click instead of driving endless miles wasting time and money on the weekend. While most people know they should market online now, there is an additional step most fail to take.
The video revolution has already occurred. We all get emails from our friends about bears falling out of trees on to trampolines and so on. YouTube is the major video online site. It is also a huge potential boon for home sellers and, frankly, home buyers. The key is to understand that there are two major benefits that you really can’t get anywhere else.
Let’s imagine that you put do a video of your home in anticipate of selling it online. You go out and buy a domain. You build a small website and put the video up. How many people are going to see it? NONE! Why? Because there is no traffic coming to your site. Well, YouTube already has millions and millions of visitors every day. The traffic is already built in, so your video will actually be seen if you post it on the site.
The second key thing to understand is YouTube is owned by Google. Although Google denies any correlation, one can hardly be shocked that videos on YouTube seem to come up very high in searches on Google. If you post a video and list the title and keywords as a home for sale in your neighborhood, you stand a very good chance of appearing high in the Google results. Think of the exposure! Even better, it is all for free so long as you have a video camera.
The web has opened up an entirely new way to buy and sell property. Give it a look. You’ll be stunned at the opportunities.
