WOW! Another BONANZA!
 

Excuse me folks BUT.....I STILL get "Super-Excited" when I discover a New & Different way for ME to.....make money!

So....on our Memorial Day BBQ Church BBQ I "happened" to come across a gal who lost her Secretarial Job and went into Selling Real Estate. Even though real estate is starting to pick up.....she....being a newcomer....does NOT have the contacts or referrals that most of the other Agents have...so....she's having a tough time getting Listings or Selling other agents listings (for which SHE can make 3% of the sale)

So.....me .....as the "Money-Making Idea Guy" in my town.....she comes over to me and asks if I would have any "Money-Making Ideas for her in the Real Estate Biz"!

Well.....guess what.....I DO!

So.....something I did back when QR Codes were first announced was.....I went to Craig's List for my area......saw some Ads that local RE Agents had posted and noticed that almost ALL of them had 6 to 10 PHOTOS of the properties they were selling.

So.....I got one of my many HOT FLASHES: "Why don't I right click the Photos.....put them into a folder.....go to the free MS program "Photo-Story3" and make a Video of some of the properties that RE Agents have posted."

So.....I grabbed photos from 5 Listings.....made a PS3 Video (I like PS3 mainly because it has a feature in it where the SHOT" with each photo can be formatted such that I can start the View from one corner of the Photo and.....move across the Photo or....expand to the full photo.

Or...start out with the FULL Photo and zoom down to a corner.....thus, GIVING THE APPEARANCE OF......MOVEMENT!

Here's an example; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zn4AyApvz1E

OK....this is a ForSaleByOwner video AND.....it gave me experience for what I'M REALLY AFTER.....VIDEOS FOR REAL ESTATE AGENT LISTINGS...along with a QR Code TO the Video!

Now.....the "Pent-Up" demand for Home Buying bubble has BURST......homes are starting to sell again. This means MORE RE Agents will have a better chance to make some SERIOUS BUX again.....HOWEVER.....there IS competition! EVERY Agent is each Agent's Competitor....for sales AND Listings!

Now....what If I were to show these "Hungry" Agents a way....for them to CASH IN by either "Having a POWERFUL Way to Sell Houses" and, "Get MORE Listings?!

So.....as I went about my "Research" of how RE Agents are trying to sell their Listings.....I noticed one thing: THEY WERE ALL DOING THE SAME THING!.....just placing a For Sale Sign on in front of the property!

So.....this is May of 2015.....when MOST people looking for Homes To Buy HAVE.....some kind of Mobile Device with them as they are "carausing the neighbor they'd like to live in"......BUT......one thing I noticed....ALL the For Sale Signs were the SAME.....!

So.....my thought was; WHY NOT CREATE A VIDEO OF THE HOUSE ....AND.....A QR CODE THAT HOUSE-HUNTERS CAN ......SCAN.....AND SEE THE VIDEO OF THE HOUSE.....RIGHT THERE.....IN THEIR VEHICLE!!!

YOU kiddin' ME! The first Agent I mentioned this to told me; "Hey Don, a Video Tour WITH a QR Code on the Sign so House-Hunters can INSTANTLY get the Facts on the House PLUS.....a Photo of ME and how to contact ME!

"I don't care what it costs.....I'M IN!"

So.....my "student" landed 3 Agents this week and is NOW.....relieved from "Money-Worries" because.....she NOW knows how to EARN MONEY from other realtors with her "Service" of providing
VIDEO TOURS with QR CODES to RE Agents!

Here's a video you MUST SEE.....if.....YOU are interested in selling QR Codes to ANYONE.

Offering a "Video Tour" of a RE Listing.....PLUS.....a QRCode that directs House-Hunters TO that Video......either from the QR Code on the Sign in front of the property......the FLYER.....or any Newspaper Ads....or.....even a QR Code ON an Agents BUSINESS CARD.....linking to the Agents Website.....is POWERFULL!

Check out this video:

A few yrs ago.....the above did not draw much interest but NOW.....when almost EVERYONE IS CARRYING A MOBILE DEVICE WITH THEM..... ESPECIALLY PEOPLE WITH MONEY, LOOKING FOR A HOUSE TO BUY!!!!!!!!!

Git ON da Bandwagon Brother! You is missin' da boat!

Also.....I must mention the following: Since we are sending EMAILS.....the ONE Topic that MOST "Gurus" never mention in their Reports or Seminars or Courses.....about "Getting Clients with Email" is......the "SUBJECT" Line!

Heck.....if your email is not powerful enough to STOP the receiver in their tracks and FORCE THEM to OPEN......YOUR EMAIL.....kiss it off.....you are wasting your time!

So.....WHAT will GRAB A RE AGENT BY THE "GREED GLANDS".....ATTRACT THEIR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION and cause them to CLICK ON YOUR EMAIL!

Get a piece of paper and mark this down!....."THE ADDRESS OF THE PROPERTY THEY'RE TRYING TO SELL!"

Let's say the address of one of their Listings is "1326 S Main, Denver, CO"

So.....you send an email with the subject "Re: 1326 S Main, Denver CO"

When this Subject Line shows up in the Agent's List of emails to open.... and he/she KNOWS.....this is the address of one of the properties they're trying to sell......do YOU think the Agent will delete it?

Horse-Hockey! So.....they click on the link and see YOUR "Promo Video" with the Agent's PHOTO on the FIRST PAGE of the Video!

You think this Agent "might" be interested"?

Anyways......this is the absolute BEST.....SUBJECT LINE ATTENTION GETTER I'VE EVER KNOWN......because it has the Agent's Interest in mind!

Anyways......think about this and know that......YOU can make a BUNDLE with THIS technique in the next few months.....before the "Home-Buying" Season is over after Labor Day.

Hi Don,

Thanks for sharing that idea! Using QR Codes on the For Sale sign to access a video does seem like it would "enhance" the experience of the potential buyer... And could potentially help to make the sale...

In addition, the sign will "differentiate" itself from the other signs, and make them look like they're sophisticated... :)

Thanks for sharing your experiences!

Best wishes,

Dien

Yup....just 2 yrs ago....waay baack in 2013.....when I tried to get response from RE Agents....they Poo-Pooed it.

However.....fast forward to 2015 where THE TOP AGENTS (and everyone in the KNOW) .....NOW realize the pOWER of Mobile.....it is US guys who can now Cash In.
