Here’s why and how you should be using video to grow your business
Today I want to talk about a topic you should all be very familiar with: making videos! Video will get you a better ROI² than other investments. When I say better ROI² I am specifically talking about both return on investment (which is what most people think of when they here ROI) but also a better return on impression.
First off, I would like to explain why you should be making videos. You might know that the No. 1 search engine in the world is Google, but the No. 2 is Youtube. In case you’re unaware, Google owns YouTube. This means that if you produce high-quality videos for Youtube, you will be found. It’s just a matter of time and effort. So if a buyer in your area types in google or youtube “Real estate in _______”, or “Luxury Real Estate Agents In ______” and you have created a lot of videos there is a greater chance the prospect will find you online vs your competition that isnt creating videos.
This brings me to my second point. Just because you aren’t getting a ton of engagement right off the bat doesn’t mean you should give up. Creating good videos is a skill just like anything else. Your first attempt won’t be as good as your second, and this pattern continues as you create more content. I would also not place too much emphasis on likes, hearts, or any other platform’s metric for love. They’re certainly nice, but they are not a good indicator of how many people are truly engaging with your content.
If you produce high-quality videos, it’s just a matter of time before people find you.
So what kind of videos should you create? Go-to topics include tips for sellers, tips for buyers, market updates, and a whole series of other ideas. Another great idea is to give referrals in your videos. If you interview and endorse a local contractor in one of your videos, they’ll be more likely to give you referrals in the future.
I recommend you produce at least three videos a month. After a year, you’ll have 36 videos, and after two years, you’ll have 72. This is a huge back catalog just waiting to be discovered by a future client. Remember, people want to business with experts they like and trust. Prospects will feel like they already know you which helps convert them to clients easier.
