Become Familiar with Your Web Site
Now that you've invested in a RealtyTech Premium Website, get familiar with it. Navigate around like one of your visitors would. Sign up for your emailed listings if you have them. Look at all the pages. It's a powerful tool that you need to know completely to take full advantage of. It's like owning a new car, it won't do much for you sitting in the garage, you need to drive it to have it provide value. In much the same way, you need to know and use your site for it to perform for you. After launch, strive to become the expert of your online business.

Update Your Web Site
Add customized content to your site, make it yours! Change content on your pages and add links that are important to you. Give potential clients a reason to revisit your site. Make it a one-stop the one stop real estat resource for your home buyers and sellers. Let them know that you're the expert on living in your community, and when people begin their search to buy or sell, they come to you. If you provide value and give them the  information they need, you've made an important first step to building a relationship before you've even spoken or emailed to that person.

Market Your Web Site Everywhere!
Do you know that the average buyer and seller expects you to have a web site? The average buyer is a 32 year old couple. These buyers know the internet and expect you to too. Now it's not enough to have a website, it must be special and integrated into your entire marketing plan.

Respond to Your Leads!
At a recent convention the California Association of Realtors spokesperson said that the number one complaint from Consumers was that Real Estate Agents don't follow up well with them. Check your email every 2-3 business hours. Time is everything on the Internet. You have a maximum of four hours to respond to a hot lead, if you don't that lead will turn to someone else, and you've lost an oppertunity.

Share Links with Others
Trade links with anyone you can whose website is relevant to the home buying or selling process. If you work with a particular mortgage broker, insurance agent, remodeler, or landscaper, ask for a link from their web site to yours, and place a link on your site to theirs. This is called reciprocal linking. Reciprocal linking can give you the edge in search engines by building Internet doorways to your website that will be used both by people and by web crawlers. It's a long-term strategy that will benefit you over months and years, and not only improve the amount of traffic your web site gets, but the quality of traffic as well.

RealtyTech offers Pay-per-Click Internet Marketing Packages starting at $250 and just $99/month.
