Darren.....one caution about using the YT "free stuff"; it's OK to use their Free Stuff for YOUR sites and Videos BUT......not to SELL Videos (with their Free Stuff included)

Better check it out.

Hi Don,

Thanks for the caution.
Yes, I see that PS3 offers a free Create Music option.
Wow, there are tons of free music combination there as well.
You wake me up ! Let you've said, better safe than sorry.

Last Easter weekend, I did a couple of FSBO video and contacted the owner but no reply yet. Later, I did a search of the address and some search results came out with property listed in zillow site are either already sold or off market. Are their info reliable ? Should we waste time on such property ?

Darren

Darren.....rather than create a Video then.....contact FSBO first......contact FSBO either by email or phone and tell them,

...."I have a Video Marketing business and a Video can help sell your home faster. I've made a video of your Home you're trying to sell.....at NO Obligation! If you'd like to see it.....let me know and I'll send you the Link!"

THEN......if they express interest in seeing the Video.....make the Video and send them the link.....or upload to YT and Rank Video for their ADDRESS.

Or.... you could ask them to "Go take a look at a video you've done for another Homeowner trying to sell their home without a realtor!

My "students" now get $795 minimum. One gal adds on $150 to keep the Video on the First Page for the next 3 months.....$945....and she does one a week.

Hi Don,

Thanks for the tip.
Yes I will contact FSBO first, then do the video if they are interested. I suppose my approach was wrong when I spent too much time on the videos while effort should be spent approaching owner instead.

PS3 is a great tool - simple and fast to churn out videos ! Credit to you for recommending such a tool. This project sure feels a lot more fun with the help from you and the community.

Darren.

Having a video already made, even with a generic address, makes a lot of sense. That way your potential FSBO customers can see what they can have made for them in order to help them sell.

I'm curious how many people Don's student contacts (on average), before she gets a "Yes" If you have your video made and ready to go, all it takes is contacting as many FSBO owners as your time allows.

There is nobody providing this service in my area.

Everyone's Contributing Great Ideas Here. Thanks.

Two Approaches Seem to Prevail Here:

1) Make Up a Few Actual Video's and Contact the Owners etc.

2) Make Up a Generic Video so the Potential FSBO Customer can See What They Can Have Made.

Here's an Idea for a Third:

3) Make an Actual Video for Each FSBO but Only Have It Be the First 20 Seconds (Give or Take) and then "Fade Out" to the Benefits and Call to Action.

This Third Option Might be the Happy Balance Between Generic and Full Size Real Deal Video.

Just a Thought I Wanted to Share.

I like the partial idea, reminds me of Don's locked disc, you rec'd the product, just had to buy the keys to it.

I would like to see (or hear) a reason why the seller is selling.

Show them a 20 second video, and offer to add their voice over as to why they are selling and what they like about the house.

"Hi thanks for watching our video. The reason we are selling our house is because our children have grown and it is too much house for just the two of us, we want to move into a condo. We love this neighborhood, the kids could walk to school, there is nearby shopping and there hasn't been a crime in this area in 20 years, unless you count the guy who doesn't mow his lawn as much as the rest of us. But it is a well kept neighborhood, lots of school age kids, nearby stores, restaurants, very convenient location.

Our taxes are the best in the area and the city has the best services in the county. If you are looking for a safe environment to raise your family, an area with great parks and amenities, low crime and friendly people, please call and arrange a walk through.

We are not using a realtor because we don't want mobs of unqualified lookers tramping through our home.

Or commentary to match the video, maybe could get either more bux or faster and more responses???

Then send this script to the home owner along with 9 other ideas (piggybacking off the other thread related to ideas) free of charge. No selling. No pitches. Just throw them 10 ideas on how to market their home better. Or how to create a video. Give them the whole enchilada.

I think this falls into Cialdini's Law of Reciprocation, doesn't it?

Hi John,

Here's a great example on what one of the real estate agent has done.....a short 18 sec intro fade out and a call to action. He has done a couple more video intro for each of his property.

His Youtube clip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPzhU2diNN8

It looks like he is not getting any views to those properties though...
