How many visitors will bring your real estate blog? January 25, 2006
John Vanhara
Some real estate agents will never do any action, because they don’t believe they can do any change. I know that from my own experience. When I give advice to someone and say it will work and will cost them nearly nothing they rarely believe me (but what motivation I have to lie? I am not selling them anything.). On the other hand they often believe some sales person who tells them to buy website, their marketing tool or advertising, which will bring nearly miracles and all they need to do is to write a check. Often signing contract for at least 12 months is required, in case they really see it is not working for them so they cannot go back:-)
I don’t believe in crap like that. There are many tools which doesn’t cost money (like free blog software Wordpress). Such tools can bring substantial results with small effort. But I am very frustrated when talking to many agents (often inside my own company) to see they rather believe in writing check or waste time instead of doing something what makes sense and doesn’t cost much.
Therefore I am bringing some real examples. This was a real estate web for commercial real estate with very mediocre number of visitors (30-40 a day). That’s not enough to bring substantial amount of leads. And it as flat like that for about year or maybe even longer.
We have placed a WordPress blog on this site in December 2005. As you can see from the stats the number of unique daily visitors nearly doubled in December (average 61 per day). January is already on 113 unique visitors per day!
If you don’t do any action with your real estate website even after I post examples like that then there is no help! Success is very close, but you have to look at right places. My only reason why I am publishing information like this is total frustration with real estate marketing companies and the way they treat real estate agents. You don’t need to pay hundreds or thousands to make hundreds thousands in commissions. The tools are here. Just use them!
