"With all the choices out there, what should my internet game plan be?"

You can get tired just thinking about it!

The question for us agents is, what should or shouldn't I be doing?

How can I get real CLOSINGS from these strategies?

These are the questions agents have been asking us day in and day out, and have we found the guy to help answer them!

Jens Rhoades consults little companies and real estate agents, and has consulted big companies across North America on internet "game plans" or total "web strategy". In fact, he is our PERSONAL internet market strategist, overseeing our own search engine optimization, pay per click marketing, and overall internet game plan.

Here's the type of questions Jens will answer:

"If I spend 3 months on Facebook, how can I ensure it won't end up being a waste of time?"

"If I want to do pay per click ads, where do I start? Should I do it on my own or hire someone? How do I know I'm not going to get completely ripped off?"

"Can someone really guarantee I will show up on the first page of Google?"

"How can I start tracking my "conversion rate" on my website?"

"How should I promote my listings on my Facebook page?"

"Are there ways to automate my posts/videos/tweets/etc.?"

"What are the best tactics considering my personality and strengths?"

Jens is going to give us a 50,000 foot overview of what strategies to follow, and not follow, and more importantly - WHY.

He'll give us some specific examples of things gone right, things gone wrong, and how to make sure you get it right.

So, if you want avoid wasting LOADS of time doing things that don't really matter, or worse - can hurt your reputation, and you want to know what the most EFFECTIVE, CHEAP, and EASY ways to do things are to generate MORE leads from the internet and turng them into CLOSINGS, then join us.

It all started earlier this year when I was asked by some agents about auto-posting software for Craigslist. I had already done a lot of research on the companies last fall, so I just went to my favorites to look up the companies again, and to my surprise, NONE of them were selling their software anymore!

So, I contacted our Craigslist Expert, and here's where he pointed me:

Here's a snippet of the article

craigslist Files 14 Lawsuits Against Software and Service Providers who Facilitate Misuse of Site...Due in part to the growth of craigslist, businesses have sprung up selling software and other services designed to evade craigslist's terms of use, and to circumvent its technical defenses against misuse, including phone verification. By offering services designed to undermine craigslist's ability to enforce its terms of use, these businesses facilitate the placement of ads for illegal services that would otherwise be blocked by craigslist's protective measures. craigslist has no tolerance for these activities and has filed 14 lawsuits and is sending “cease and desist” demands to numerous other companies and individuals offering such services. In addition, craigslist will investigate and provide information to state attorneys general for the prosecution of those engaging in and facilitating criminal activity.

Is it possible, or even likely, that during discovery, or as part of a settlement, that these companies will be forced to turn over their customer lists to Craiglist?

Maybe, maybe not.

Point being, why gamble when you can avoid the whole issue by having a member of your staff, or someone with a company like Spencer's, do all of the legwork, in a legitimate fashion?

We intereviewed Spencer last fall, and he had some GREAT points to make about Craigslist to help real estate agents get the most out of it.

If you'd like to inquire about his services, just email us at Jim@RealEstateTechnologyExperts.com with a subject line of "Spencer - Craigslist" and we will forward it on to him, so he can contact you.

In the mean time, be careful about the lure of using auto-posting software for real estate.
