Wouldn't it be nice to draw countless qualified leads to your real estate business, without paying for ad space or picking up the phone to cold call? That's the promise of content marketing, and it's one of many reasons why content should be a crucial element of your real estate marketing strategy.

Planning Your Website's Content Marketing Strategy

Your content is waiting to increase visibility, add value, educate, and ultimately turn prospects into clients.

Content marketing is a big part of what we do at Delta Media Group. Today, we're going to take a closer look at how you can use content to grow your real estate business.

• Why Content Marketing Matters in Real Estate
  Content is an important marketing tool no matter the industry, but it's especially valuable in real estate. The vast majority of people start searches online--whether they're looking for a home or working to find an agent. Your content should demonstrate your expertise, share valuable tips, highlight market areas, and show prospects why you're the right choice for their needs. Content is also a key element in search engine optimization (SEO), which makes it easier for prospects to find your business online. Ultimately, content creates qualified leads, which is why it's a must-have for REALTORS®.

Just like Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, Lois Lane and Clark Kent, or spaghetti and meatballs, some couples are a natural fit. 

The same holds true for search engine optimization (SEO) and content. 

For people who are new to online marketing strategies, they might assume SEO and content exclude one another. That could not be farther from the truth.

Great content is a key pillar of SEO success, and SEO helps prospects find all of the content that you work hard to create. When you harness the power of their complementary personalities, the perfect match is created, and unbelievable results occur.

Let's take a closer look at why SEO and content are the "IT" couple when it comes to online success for your real estate business.

Video marketing is one of the most powerful tools real estate agents have at their disposal to generate leads, build their brands, but most of all--help their clients buy and sell homes.  Videos help showcase the features of listed homes that make them stand out from others in the same neighborhood.

If you're new to the idea of adding videos to your existing marketing strategy, it may be a little intimidating.  Not to worry, there are tools available to automate the process and to get the job done with little--if any--hassle.

We've put together this quick look at three ways to make real estate videos work for you.

1. Create Short Videos that Highlight Features and Show Personality
   Have you shopped for a home in the era of video content? If so, you know there are plenty of videos currently available, and only so much time in the day to devote to the process. That's why it's important to create short, information-rich listing videos that highlight the essential features of your listing. Two minutes is a great length to target. Grab the attention of viewers right away with attractive shots of the home, and details about the features that matter most to buyers.
   
   Many agents choose to narrate their videos, which is a great way to show expertise, highlight key features, and keep the viewer's attention. If you decide to narrate your videos, don't be afraid to show your personality. You want to be upbeat and informative while telling the story of the home in a detailed, accessible way.

Email marketing is, without a doubt, one of the biggest keys to success for real estate agents.

When you meet someone, they may not be ready to immediately use your services. They may be considering buying or selling a home, but need months before they'll take action. Often, that means your potential business slips away.

Email marketing helps to keep that from happening.

Email marketing allows you to foster trust and rapport with your future clients. You can use your subscription-only email list to provide people with targeted content about real estate topics and trends.

As the weeks and months roll by, this strengthens your brand as a recognized expert. That means you're top of mind and the first person they are likely to reach out to when they decide to move.

Consider the benefits:

1. Your Future Clients "Sell Themselves" on You
   No matter who you are and where you practice, odds are good there are dozens or even hundreds of other real estate agents in your area. Just think of the confusion this can cause first-time buyers and sellers looking for help. With an email newsletter, you can communicate with clients in an informative yet conversational way. They'll come to understand your skills and expertise.
