3 Quick & Easy Ways To Get More Traffic To Your Site From Youtube

youtube-real estate marketing

Youtube is definitely a social networking website. It gets millions of visitors each month looking for videos on topics that interest them the most. But even though Youtube is a social website, that doesn’t mean you can market your business on Youtube successfully.

In fact, alot of online business owners are using Youtube to promote their business successfully and get tons of new visitors to their website – and you could be one of them. The trick to use a few little-known marketing techniques that have been proven time and time again to get traffic from Youtube, and I will share some of them in this article for you.

The fact is, it doesn’t matter if you’re a realtor, lawyer or doctor – you can market your website via Youtube. Here are 3 ways to market your business whether it’s online or offline – via Youtube:

1)  Submit your videos to Youtube

Sounds easy right? Duh. I wonder why so many business owners aren’t actually doing it. The fact is, by simply uploading your videos to Youtube you will get traffic from them. Many business owners are perplexed when it comes to social marketing, so they opt for the choice of not doing anything – which is a terrible mistake.

And if you have no idea of how to make a video for uploading to Youtube, then I have a special treat for you. There’s a great software on the internet that is free that you can use to create your Youtube videos. It’s called ‘Camstudio’, and it’s a great free tool for making 2-5 minute long videos in a snap.

When creating your video, you will want to write an interesting title for it. Write it for the user, not the search engines. You can’t trick the search engines, you can only trick yourself. The search engines will pick your video up after it’s popularity has grown and other people are linking to it voluntary. And if people are doing this, then that means your video is amazing – and this is what you are looking for.

In your video, you will want to show people how to do something, or you will want to share tips on a particular topic. There’s nothing wrong with sitting in front of a camera and speaking. It’s normal, and Youtube users have grown to accept it, and you should too. You will also want to include relevant keywords or ‘tags’ so that users can find your videos also. Here’s another great way to market your business or website on Youtube:

2) Include your URL on all your videos

It’s one thing to upload videos to Youtube for fun, but it’s another thing to upload videos to Youtube for business purposes and not to leave your website information somewhere.

When marketing on Youtube, you will want to include your contact information on all of your videos. This is how you will get traffic to your website, aside from your website information showing in your profile.

Believe it or not, users will actually type your URL into their browser to learn more, and when they do so, you want to be there to sell them on your products and services.

Don’t ever leave this crucial piece of information out. Without it, you’re efforts are doomed from the start. Here’s the last way to get traffic to your website via Youtube.

3) Inspire viewers to subscribe to your Youtube channel

With this technique, you can get repeat traffic to your new and latest Youtube videos, which will in turn be repeat traffic to your website site. This technique is similar to inspire visitors to subscribe to your email newsletter so that you can follow-up on them with great tips and advice.

When users subscribe to your Youtube channel, they get updates whenever you create a new video. So with a large fan base, your Youtube videos will become immensely popular – due to the number of visitors that constantly viewing your videos. And when your videos become popular – their Youtube search engine rankings increase, and this means more traffic for you.

A great way to spire people to subscribe to your Youtube channel is to simply briefly mention it at the beginning and end of your video. If users find your information worthwhile, they will subscribe to you. Simple as that.

Take these 3 tips for getting more traffic to your website using Youtube and watch your traffic count skyrocket. These techniques work if you use them, so start using them right now.

Stress Management; Get Back To Nature To Find Your Inner Peace

Parkbench
Getting back into the garden is a great way of spending a few minutes connecting back to nature – it’s just as good as a meditation and if you are not a fan of sitting still doing nothing, this is ideal way for you to recharge your batteries.

Don’t worry, it doesn’t involve hugging a tree (but if you want to, feel free – I’ve heard they like being hugged!).

Just find somewhere peaceful that you can sit for a few minutes. If not your own garden, then a local spot in a park will be fine, but it needs to be away from all action.

Notice how the sun feels on your skin, the colours of the leaves and flowers, the smells and sounds of nature. Listen to the birds and switch off your mind from ALL modern life. Make sure you can’t be disturbed by your family or the telephone and don’t be tempted to take your laptop outside.

Once you have spent a few minutes reconnecting with real life (because nature is real life, not our high tech world), spend as long as you like reading a book or working if you have to. But if you are going to work outside, keep listening to the sounds around you as a way of staying connected. When you’ve finished, take a minute to appreciate the sights around you especially the trees/flowers or the sky if it’s a nice day.

If you do this occasionally, I absolutely guarantee that it will recharge you. Your energy level will feel higher than it did before you started. Just the fresh air and being cut off from technology (and all of the toxins that go with it) is enough to replenish you for the day.

I don’t do this everyday as, like most people I just don’t have time, but if we have a nice clear day, I try to do this once or twice a week just for 5-15 minutes. It really makes a difference.

Try it and see if you feel energised after spending just a few minutes appreciating nature.

An alternative option for bad weather; spend time with your pets.

If you haven?t got a pet, find one! Because just sitting and stroking a friendly dog/cat/rabbit will help to literally reduce your stress levels ? this has been proven by the experts and it is why the charity ?Pets as Therapy? began.

Spending time with a dog or cat calms you down AND helps your immune system to work better, so therefore speeds up recovery after an illness or operation.

Become A Better Blogger With These 5 Tips

One of the most important aspects of blogging is to develop your own writing style. There are millions of blogs and websites out there and if your blog and the way you write the content is in the same style as everyone else then you will find it hard to get noticed.

No matter how pretty your blog looks if the content you publish is not written in a style that is interesting, readable and informative people will not care. They will come once and never return. With a blog you want to develop a close relationship with your readers, to interact with them so that they do keep coming back for more.

The thing is that for most people find developing their own writing style is not the easiest thing to do especially, in the beginning. The key thing is to have a go and keep practising and your own personal style will eventually emerge.

To help you develop your own writing style try out these tips:

Tip 1

Avoid rambling on when you write a post. Keep it short and to the point.

Tip 2

Write in the first person and keep your blog posts down to a minimum of 100 words per post.

Tip 3

Before you write think about who you are writing to. For example, pretend you are writing to a friend and think about how you would start the conversation with them. As time goes on you will understand your readers more deeply and you will use this knowledge to develop the subject and the content of each post.  The key is understanding their needs and wants and fulfilling those needs with the information you write to them about.

Tip 4

Keep your blog posts as informal as possible. Write as if you were having a conversation but make sure you omit any swear words!. A good technique is too read out aloud what you have written to see how well it flows. If it feels stunted and does not flow naturally to you then make the necessary changes until it does.

Tip 5

As the saying goes If you can’t beat them then, join them. A good way of improving your style is to learn from other successful and popular bloggers. The point I want to make clear is that you should never copy what they do but identify with what you think is working for them and adapt it and make it unique to you. The things you can look at are the length and frequency of their posting and the subjects they write about.

Make Money Online – Becoming A Better Video Marketer

Anyone who is able to make money online with video marketing is doing well for themselves. However, if you are not satisfied with the traffic that your videos are producing, it may be because your strategy is insufficient. What you are doing incorrectly might not be readily apparent, so you will need to do some exploring. For many of you who have been taking measures to make money online for a while, you are well aware of how important it is to test, and retest your strategies.

One thing that I can tell you right off of the bat, is that when it comes to using videos to market your products or services, you need to keep it simple. Your audience has a short attention span. They do not want to see you go on and on about how the ingredients in your products are picked at an altitude of 5000 feet. Rather, they want to know what you can do for them. How can what you are offering make their lives better. That is what you need to convey.

With that being said, you need to strap your marketing hat on tightly. Assuming that you have already identified your target customer, you have to show this customer that the answer to whatever they are trying to fix is contained within your offer. You have to show them that unless they take advantage of your offer, nothing will change for them.

Your video must make the viewer feel as if they will come out ahead by using your product or service, not you by making the sale. The full focus must be on the viewer, and the viewer alone. With that being said, your claims must be legitimate.

One thing that I am going to plead with you to avoid, is making a common assumption. This is an assumption which is frequently made by internet marketers. They assume that the potential buyer shares the same excitement in their product that they do. As such, they attempt to turn viewers into immediate buyers. Unfortunately, not very many people are willing to pull out their credit card and make a purchase after simply watching a video. Therefore, you need to use the video to get your foot in the door. Give the viewer enough information to become interested enough to want more information. Offer more information to the viewer by offering a free report which must be emailed. Once you have the visitors email address, you can market to them in the future. Do you see how that works? Now you have the ability to market to the viewer over a period of time.

When you convey your message via video, at the conclusion of the video, your viewers should be able to envision how great things will be if they take advantage of your offer. If you first target your niche market, then compose a video which clearly indicates that your product or service directly addresses the concerns of those in your niche market, they will have a difficult time turning their back on you. You will have made them an offer that they cannot refuse. Those who have mastered how to make money online, have mastered this technique.

I cannot stress enough how important it is to know your niche market like the back of your hand if you want to make money online long-term. Knowing your niche market enables you to get into their minds, know what they are thinking, and communicate with them in a compelling manner. Once you are able to do this, you will have all of the traffic that you will ever desire as a result of video marketing.

Open House Ad That Didn’t Happen

by Lori Isachsen

Open house ad

You know when you have that nagging feeling you forgot to do something?  Well, mine hit me at 4:00 in the morning.

“Oh my gosh! I never received the advertising proof for my client’s open house this weekend”.

How could I have missed this?  I emailed the ad, like I always do to the newspaper rep and bcc’d my client.  Plus I put a confirmation of email delivery.  I was sure I got that at least.  Maybe they just didn’t send the proof for some reason.

Can’t sleep now, I think I just may have screwed up.  I get out of bed, wait for my computer to boot up  and went right to my email ‘sent items’ folder.  There it was and “OH NO!!”  That horrifying feeling started coming over me as I looked at the email message and realized that I sent it to my client AND DIDN’T SEND IT TO THE NEWSPAPER.  The confirmation did come but I didn’t open it and read it. 

Now, I know, I have missed the deadline for the newspaper publication as it will be out today.  To top it off, I didn’t have a proof ad reminder set up in my scheduler. It’s my way of making sure I cover everything off for advertising.

How could I have let this happen?  I recall, in my mind, what was I doing when I typed this ad and why I didn’t follow through on my process.  Just as I completed the ad and was filling out who was to get the email, I was distracted by a phone.  Dealing with the phone call, at the same time, completing the recipient names on the email (both recipient names start with the same letter and appear in my list one right after the other).  It all made sense now.  I didn’t use the proper order for my recipients. 
Once I clicked ‘send email’, I completely forgot to set up my reminder and moved on with the issues that I needed to deal with from the phone call. 

Now I have to fess up and somehow make things right with my client.  I forward an email to the newspaper rep, making a last ditch effort to see if somehow, someway I can still get the ad in.  Then I send my client a text message advising what I had done and my sincere apologies, so it can all be handled first thing in the morning.  Yes, all at 4:00am.  I’m not one to let things carry on.

There’s nothing more I can do now but go back to bed and deal with the fall out tomorrow.  I’m upset and frustrated with myself because not only have I just let down my real estate client but also their seller, which is a direct reflection of the realtors service.  One little mistake has impacted many.

When I awoke again to face the music and call my client, to my pleasant surprise, I had a text message from my client “Oh well…stuff happens”.  What a trooper!  So understanding and great to work for! 

The advertising rep asked me to call her right away, which I did.  She called the realtor already via phone, (she is a super rep) and offered to put an ad in, just not in the normal Open House section.  My client declined.  The rep just wanted to know if I actually sent her an email at 4:00am and couldn’t believe that my clients were this important to me.

I’m proud to work with my clients and gain much gratification in not making mistakes, still from time to time, I do.  All the organization, reminders, processes that are in place, are not perfect.  Nevertheless, things happen and do, it’s how we cope with these challenges and mistakes. 

Real estate assistants are human too, we can make errors, we do get overwhelmed and distracted.  It’s just nice to know that when things do go wrong our clients are supportive enough to get past it.

I hope this has helped you in some way and please share your comments and experiences.

8 Ways To Make Your Ads More Effective

I don’t know everything and if I have learned one thing about doing business on the Internet it is that the more you learn the more you don’t know. However, I have been doing business on the Internet since 1999 and I’ve managed to carve out a successful enterprise for myself with several profit streams. The largest percentage of my marketing and promotional efforts has been conducted through one simple method-Ezine Advertising.

 I don’t know everything and if I have learned one thing about doing business on the Internet it is that the more you learn the more you don’t know. However, I have been doing business on the Internet since 1999 and I’ve managed to carve out a successful enterprise for myself with several profit streams. The largest percentage of my marketing and promotional efforts has been conducted through one simple method-Ezine Advertising.

These are the 8 important lessons I’ve learned regarding Ezine Advertising and Marketing Success:

A common mistake many advertisers make is to attempt to do too much, or rather sell too much, in one ad. Sure you have lots of great products but you can’t sell them all in a few lines-at least not individually.  Instead focus on the benefit your customer can achieve from all your products and promote that! People are much more likely to click on a link that BENEFITS them than a link that promises to sell them something.

For example, “Help your child reach their maximum potential” instead of “Try our many reading, writing, math, shapes and colors programs”

More importantly, tell the customer “what your product or service is going to do for him.”

It is important that you identify your Unique Selling Proposition before you begin your advertising program. This will determine which Ezines (or markets) you target as well as what you should include in your ad copy. Who will be interested in your product and why? What benefits does your product offer them?

Fresh, Professional PLR Content Choose From 130+ Different Topics http://www.Free-Plr-Article.com

Don’t go for the sale in your ad! You are at a disadvantage because you can’t list all your products’ wonderful benefits in the space allowed. Also, there is only a small percentage of any Ezine audience that is ready to buy your product at the exact moment they view your ad. Yes, maybe they should be, but most people today live in the moment and if this isn’t the time they want to buy then they aren’t going to buy, end of story.

 They may or may not know they are clicking on your Adsense but as long as there are clicks, then it will all be for your advantage.

2. Create a custom palette for your ads. Choose a color that will go well with the background of your site. If your site has a white background, try to use white as the color of your ad border and background. The idea to patterning the colors is to make the Adsense look like it is part of the web pages. Again, This will result to more clicks from people visiting your site.

3. Remove the Adsense from the bottom pages of your site and put them at the top. Do not try to hide your Adsense. Put them in the place where people can see them quickly. You will be amazed how the difference between Adsense locations can make when you see your earnings.

4. Maintain links to relevant websites. If you think some sites are better off than the others, put your ads there and try to maintaining and managing them. If there is already lots of Adsense put into that certain site, put yours on top of all of them. That way visitor will see your ads first upon browsing into that site.

5. Try to automate the insertion of your

  Adsense code into the webpages using SSI (or server side included). Ask your web administrator if your server supports SSI or not. How do you do it? Just save your Adsense code in a text file, save it as “adsense text”, and upload it to the root directory of the web server. Then using SSI, call the code on other pages. This tip is a time saver especially for those who are using automatic page generators to generate pages on their website.


These are some of the tips that have worked well for some who want to generate hundreds and even thousands on their websites.  It is important to know though that ads are displayed because it fits the interest of the people viewing them. So focusing on a specific topic should be your primary purpose because the displays will be especially targeted on a topic that persons will be viewing already.

Note also that there are many other Adsense sharing the same topic as you. It is best to think of making a good ad that will be somewhat different and unique than the ones already done. Every clickthrough that visitors make is a point for you so make every click count by making your Adsense something that people will definitely click on.

Tips given by those who have boosted their earnings are just guidelines they want to share with others. If they have somehow worked wonders to some, maybe it can work wonders for you too. Try them out into your ads and see the result it will bring. If others have done it, there is nothing wrong trying it out for yourself.

It’s Time to Give It Up!

 by Lori Isachsen


Time-sapping administrative tasks are a distraction for any real estate professional.  But when you’re accustomed to doing the work yourself or think that no one else can do something as well as you can, it’s often hard to delegate.

 “Only I have the extra, special, super skills to do this task”

“By the time I teach someone else how to do it, I may as well have done it myself!”

While these are valid reasoning’s, don’t let these barriers hold you back from greater success. Get rid of the idea that you’re the only person who can do anything right. Other people have skills that you don’t have.

Most realtors fail to realize that you must focus on results in order to reach the next level.

You need to be aware of the fact that as a professional real estate agent you just don’t have one job.  When you are doing too much by yourself, or you’re spending hours working on a large number of different projects, this is a sign that you will need to begin delegating tasks to an assistant.

Here are 5 Key Tips that will help you get over those barriers and take a well-planned and logical approach to delegation:

1)   Figure out what needs to be delegated – Choose tasks that you tend to drag out because you don’t enjoy doing.  These tasks that are stressing you out are only sabotaging your chances of personal and professional advancement.

2)   Be picky when choosing the correct person – It may take time, but by having thorough discussions about your expectations and the other person’s ability, will allow you to make a good decision about who you choose to assist and support you.

3)   Provide Clear Instructions – Having clear documentation outlines the details of the work and provides all of the necessary information that is important.  But don’t leave it at that.  Once everything has been reviewed take time to answer any questions that may arise.  An experienced and trained assistant will guide you through this process.

4)   Follow the work and provide feedback – When you have found help don’t simply write them off and forget about them.  Follow up to ensure its being done correctly and to your specifications.  This will allow you to monitor the work and provide feedback for improvements.

5)   Keep checking on what needs to be delegated – Business responsibilities change, so your delegation needs will also change. Regularly check what you have coming in and who you are delegating it to in order to determine if you need to outsource more work.  This will help you anticipate any changes as they occur. 

It is difficult to excel at multiple things simultaneously.

 Your time is valuable! With delegating, you can enjoy more time and flexibility to focus on bigger responsibilities such as planning and strategizing, coming up with new ideas, pursing business prospects and ultimately allowing you to focus on the bigger picture.

 Let go and your real estate business will grow! Contact us today to find out how a Virtual Real Estate Assistant can be that support for you.
