There are thousands of sites claiming to have amazing digital marketing insights that will change your life plus offer hundreds of different tactics you could try.

The big question: How can you put it all together into a plan that works in real estate?

Many sales associates find themselves reinventing the wheel when it comes to digital marketing and social media. They start excited only to discover the results aren't what they expected.

Some get caught up in a cycle of trying one thing after another but never figuring out what the big deal is. Others lose track of digital marketing entirely, letting others define their brand online.

The secret is this: Digital marketing is the key to ending the exhausting cycle of hunting for the next referral most sales associates experience early in their careers.

The right approach to digital marketing brings leads to your door, so you can stay focused on building your business, expanding your skills, and delivering world-class service. When leads seek you out, not the other way around, you can achieve the work-life balance you want.

Follow it consistently, and this five-step plan will help get you there:

1. Get a Custom Website That Communicates Trust
   Real estate custom websites are a "must-have" item for real estate professionals who want to stand out from the rest. A custom website fosters trust by making a fantastic first impression. It should communicate who you are, who you serve, and what makes you different. Just as important: It must be mobile-friendly so leads on the go can browse with their smartphones.

Are you tired of getting the same old results from the same old real estate marketing tactics? It's said that Einstein once declared, "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results." We could spend all day trying to find out if Einstein really said that, but that would be... a little insane. The point is that whoever said it was 100 percent correct, and the lesson applies directly to the real estate industry.

Real Estate Marketing That Gets You Results

No matter how great your service and team are, it's hard to achieve your goals if your marketing isn't reaching the right people. If you want to attain the results that you dream of achieving, then now is the perfect time to take a fresh, honest look at marketing your real estate business differently.

• Develop a User-Friendly Website That Fits Every Screen
  Think of your website as a storefront. If your store is looking a little dated, located in a hard-to-find place, and lacking in information on what you have to offer, then you can't expect many people to come to visit. Develop a user-friendly website that makes it easy for visitors to find the information they want when they want it.
  
  Your website should be a place where they can learn about local communities, search listings, and pick up valuable real estate advice through relevant content. Since so many real estate shoppers browse on their phones whenever they get a free moment, responsive mobile design is also crucial to ensure that your website scales to fit any screen that they are using.

Be a Stand-Out Agent by Building Your Personal Brand

It's not that easy being a real estate sales associate these days.

The big challenge that sales associates face can be summed up in a single idea:

Real estate pros are widely agreed to be the most active professionals on social media; however, many times, people simply tune out what their local real estate expert has to say. And the problem goes beyond Twitter and Facebook to other parts of the digital world.

In an increasingly crowded, fast-paced online sphere, everyone is looking for better ways to stand out. But technology is only one part of the equation: The way you approach your work also helps you to differentiate yourself from everybody else.

What's the best way to communicate your big difference to online leads?

In a few words, it's the personal touch.

Technology has a strange effect on communication. Use a little technology – like, say, just email or text – and it makes your message seem impersonal. But go to the next level, fully embrace what technology has to offer, and those online interactions can be as personal and memorable as a face-to-face conversation.

But technology is the only vehicle. You, the sales associate, are the driver.

Before you can figure out the best use of technology to grow your practice, figure out what you want.  What do you want your clients' experience to be?
