Tools Every Real Estate Agent Should Be Using Daily
3 Great Tools for all Real Estate Industry Professionals
Online marketing is difficult for anyone involved with real estate industry. If you are an escrow agent, title agent, transaction coordinator, RE agent, broker, home painting, demolition, lenders, etc, it's just not easy to get traction in the real estate industry. Learning to improve your page ranking is one thing, but to learn how to create the content that will drive that traffic is different. So what tools should be used to create content, what are the content monitoring tools and what portals are used to syndicate content? In the coming weeks, we will share with you some of the tools that have been useful. And, we recommend that you make sure to check often for updates. V:1
1. Video screen capture softer: There are many options online. There are some paid services and some are free. Jing is a free tool, created by TechSmith. Just Google to find it. Jing allows you to make a screen recording of your desktop. Basically, you have a video camera on your desktop (onboard within the software) to capture your every move on the screen. Jing is really easy to use, but Jing has limits. The disadvantage is that the free version only allows you to save a total of 5 minutes. Thus, for short presentations or short tutorials to send to associates or subcontractors Jing works really well. Once you've created an account to Jing then Jing will host your videos and also allows you to download content with a URL that is specific to your account. If you want to save more than 5 minutes, then you must upgrade to Jing Pro. At first when I started, I used the free version. But in trying to cover all your topics for your content on a 5-minute video is difficult. If you want to upgrade to Jing Pro then that is a good option if you want to create videos longer than 5 minutes. The last time I checked Jing Pro was $ 15 a year. Not a bad choice if you want to create a video screen capture. Another interesting feature is that if you have a YouTube channel, it syncs up and send it to YT channel.
2. Camtasia is another good screen capturing software: TechSmith makes Camtasia as well. Brilliant tool, but requires a little more than technical know-how to navigate. Many features of the same features of Jing and I use Camtasia almost every day. If I have to create a video tutorial or if you give a task my virtual assistant (VA), this is by far the best choice.
3. Bitly: The days of building a website and wondering if anyone is clicking on your links is over. Bitly is a URL shortener. You simply set up an account, log in, type in your URL then it will give you a coded, shortened URL. You can then customize the link to a URL that is a bit more memorable for you and your viewers. Most don't realize the benefits of URL shorteners. In real estate we want to track our efforts. With Bitly you can do just such. Really, a must have if you really want to find out if your efforts are effective.
In the future we will be sharing more tools that the real estate industry can use. What tools are you currently using?
