Before we can talk about generating leads on social media, let’s define exactly what we mean when we talk about leads. Leads are simply potential customers who have expressed some interest in your real estate business and have provided contact information you can use to follow up with more information. You can then pass these leads directly to your VA or engage with them using a tailored content marketing program.
Generating Leads
Why is it important to think about how to generate leads on social media? Consider that 90 percent of decision-makers say they never respond to cold calls. On the other hand, 76 percent of buyers are ready to have a conversation on social media.
If you’re not producing your sales team with a steady stream of potential new customers, you’re doing your business a disservice. And you’re doing yourself a disservice too. Because lead generation metrics are a key way to prove the value of your social marketing efforts. Perhaps the greatest benefit of lead generation using social media specifically is the ability to focus on highly qualified leads through advanced targeting. After all, marketing analysis shows that improving the quality of leads is the most significant goal for marketers, while simply increasing the quantity of leads comes in third. Recent studies show that 70% of leads are generated thru social media.
The benefits of using social media to generate quality leads will also lead to an increase in website traffic and brand awareness for your real estate business.

The woman suffrage amendment was actually first introduced to the U.S. Congress in 1978, but took 42 years before it received approval from both the House of Representatives and Senate.
In 1971, Congresswoman Bella Abzug introduced a resolution designating August 26 of each year as Women’s Equality Day.

Customer relationship management (CRM) provider Contactually was not specifically designed only for Realtors. However, a growing number of Realtors nationwide are using Contactually’s cloud-based software to stay in better contact with their clients and database, and the company continues to make their system work for Realtor needs.
Since the company launched at the end of 2011, the CRM systems Contactually provides have continued to make upgrades, many of which are perfect for those in the real estate industry — from agents, to teams, to brokerage firms.
Contactually brings together databases from numerous sources. This includes integrating with Gmail, Google contacts, Google calendar, Yahoo, AOL, Facebook, Twitter, 
LinkedIn, Skype, Foursquare, Tumblr, Flickr, Quora, Klout, Placester, and Zapier, as well as certain other CRM programs like Highrise, Salesforce, BombBomb, MailChimp, SugarCRM, CapsuleCRM, and Producteev.
The idea behind Contactually is to organize all of the users’ many networks and to help keep the users themselves more organized and focused on their relations with contacts.
Relationships can be tracked easily via Contactually’s dashboard. This is where the user will receive daily reminders on actions that need to be taken with certain contacts. Pipelines can show exactly what stage active contacts are in.
Individual emails can be created from within Contactually, as can mass emails to contact databases. Email templates and article sharing plugins are made available to all users. Contacts can be selected to be enrolled in various email programs and campaigns.
For those who need help on understanding all that this system provides, the company offers the Contactually Academy, which consists of a library of “how to” videos, along with daytime live training and support.
Using software that was introduced last year, companies and brokers who sign up their realty offices and agents to Contactually will have a broker dashboard, allowing the
m to see how often and how well their agents are using the CRM programs.
More information on what Contactually can do for Realtors can be found at Contactually.com.

Don’t just use YouTube for your personal entertainment. Take advantage of it to gain more exposure for your real estate business. For example, you can use it to interest potential clients with an engaging agent profile or to share the best of a particular community via a visual tour. You can even create a video of the frequently asked questions and answers posed by real estate clients. High-quality YouTube videos can help you generate more traffic, demonstrate your expertise and get more business.
Agent Profiles
A YouTube video can be excellent for showing a little personality and giving prospects a reason to choose you as their agent. The text profile on your website gives prospects insight into your expertise and experience, and your profile photo helps them put a name to your face. But with a video, you can use your smile, facial expressions, body language and winning personality to attract potential clients. This allows prospects to get to know you in advance and feel more confident about choosing you.
Neighborhood Tours
If a picture is worth a thousand words, a video can be worth 10 times as much. It can be difficult to do a neighborhood justice with static photos and text. With a high-quality video, however, you can bring a neighborhood to life. The key here is to do more than use a video to “show” a neighborhood. Instead, create a video that tells the neighborhood’s story. It should demonstrate the best the neighborhood has to offer, show off some key points of interest and give the viewer a feel for the local flavor.
Property Tours
You can also use YouTube to post videos of featured properties. Of course, you’ll want to present each property in the best possible light, which means creating videos that are free of clutter, out-of-control foliage and anything else that could be a turn off. You can include pricing and other important information in your video and provide links back to the related listing.
Question-and-Answer Sessions
Real estate buyers and sellers are full of questions, and you can use YouTube videos to answer them. As with your agent profile, these videos allow viewers to get to know you and get a feel for your personality. Viewers will benefit from the informative answers you provide and learn whom to contact for more information. When they’re ready to get started with the buying or selling process, they’ll remember how helpful you were and contact you!
