Terry LeClair is a Realtor, just like many of you.  He got frustrated by real estate software programs that claimed to be complete turnkey solutions… but in fact left much to be desired.

He decided to do something about it.

Terry built RealtySites PLUS from the ground up to improve on the shortcomings on the other leading software packages.

Is RealtySites PLUS as good as Terry claims?  That’s what I want to know.  Comment below and tell me:

What would you ask Terry?

(P.S. Don’t forget to register for the webinar by clicking here. )

The Facebook Fanatic himself, Mike Mueller will be a guest panelist next Wednesday as we evaluate an exciting new Real Estate marketing platform called RealtySites PLUS (RSP).

I will be hosting the event and will have RSP owner Terry LeClair present to you how this program out performs other top performers.  The program is designed by Realtors for Realtors.  You will want to see how he has made everything drop dead simple.

Mike Mueller will wrap things up with his own ideas about how to integrate RSP into your social media marketing strategy.

Register now, and join us Wednesday, April 21.

My friend Jonathan Rivera decided to take a day off from his blog… and who does he get to guest blog for him?  None other than Chris Brogan!

That’s kind of like getting Babe Ruth to step in to pinch hit for you (hats off to you, Jonathan).

So, like Babe Ruth, Chris knocks it out of the park!

His post, How to Find Your Digital Self, gives a fantastic, concise social media marketing strategy, complete with a breakdown of how to manage your time most efficiently to find and attract new followers.

This is exactly the question I get asked every single day.

It’s must read stuff… you’ll especially want to find out what Chris Brogan means when he says to “Grow Bigger Ears”, and how to make it all work for you.

Who’s on deck, Jonathan?

1. Stacey Harmon – How to use Facebook for business development without compromising personal info.
2. Scott Sambucci – How to answer the question: “How’s the market?”
3. Ross Hair – How to build local neighborhood  Facebook communities
4. Steve Schwartz – Using full motion video for Real Estate (this is one of my personal favorite things to do see “My Neighbors are a Bunch of Asses!”)
5. Bob Stewart and Brad Andersohn – What to blog about in your local market.
6. Mike Bowler – How to differentiate yourself (a big, big, big thing that most people just don’t get).
7. Jay Thompson – What wordpress plugins should you use.  If Jay Thompson talks about blogging… I will listen.
8. Bernice Ross – 10 strategies to convert more leads… ah yes… conversion is what it’s all about!  Right on, Bernice!
9. Joel Burslem – The best web based apps to make you more productive online.  I love to find new apps and tools to keep me at the leading edge!
10. Pat Kitano – Why is “Checking in” so important.  Can’t wait for this one!  It think Geolocation is one of the most important developments in social media today.
11. Brian Tercero – WordPress is awesome.  If you don’t use it, start now!
12. Mike Mueller – I feel the same way about Mike that I do Jay Thompson.  Just want to soak it all in!

Alright, I guess I have to give my own shameless self promotion plug, here… I’ve been waiting for this Virtual Real Estate BarCamp to unveil my brand new LEAC Proof Sales System™ .  Find out how to build your own round-the-clock lead generating, client converting machine that never sleeps or drops the ball.

I’ve systematized, automatized, and simplifytized the sales process that has kept me at the leading edge of customer development and sales growth for over 25 years (yes… I’m really that old!), But, you know me, I love to leverage the
newest and latest technology to make these tried, true and timeless techniques even more powerful.  WARNING: If you miss this session, be prepared for second place (or worse!) in your market!

SEE ME PRESENT LIVE at Austin Board of Realtors.  Never before attempted before a live audience… I will be presenting live without a net from ABOR tomorrow.  It you’re an Austinite, come to Abor and let’s take in VREBC
together.

I can tell you from experience, you will learn things that will change your business forever. You’re also bound to have some questions, so if you attend I will give you a FREE hour of coaching (a $200 value) to discuss how to tailor these concepts to your business.

Please read the following carefully, and reserve your space now .

“Wake up and see what’s missing in your life, in your business, in your work, in your job, in your relationships. And then, when you do see what’s missing, go to work ON your business, go to work ON your life, go to work ON your job, to create what you’ve always wanted but somehow lost.” -Michael Gerber, author of “The E-Myth”

Although it’s been years since Michael Gerber penned “The E-Myth,” the concepts remain as relevant as ever. Too often small business owners become so distracted with day-to-day issues that they neglect to work ON our business .

I’ve found that one area that is especially prone to this is email marketing . Instead of focusing on what is important, we fret about subject lines ( Is it attention grabbing? Will it get through the spam filter? ) or when to send the email ( Should I send this on Monday or wait until Wednesday, when open rates are supposedly higher? ).

The truth is, none of that stuff matters. What really matters is that your email marketing is SMART , meaning it is timely, relevant, and targeted.

At Infusionsoft, we call this “Email Marketing 2.0″ and if you want to improve the results of your email marketing, you need to learn how it works.

I am pleased to announce that Michael Gerber (the legend himself) has agreed to co-host a free, educational webinar with us about Email Marketing 2.0 so you can learn how to apply the strategies in your own business (and get back to work ON your business).

Start a Blog.

Not just any blog.  You have to set it up right so that it is fully optimized for google and the other search engines.  You also have to have a posting strategy that works.  When you do these 2 things you will get results. (hang on til the end and I’ll show you how)

Want proof?

I’ll compare my site, the one you are on right now with the  web site grader of a random site I found of a local business, Marygrove Awnings of Austin, TX.

We’ll use a great, FREE tool called Web Site Grader, put out by Hub Spot.

Now, take a look at Marygrove’s web site grade results.  This site scores only a 63 (out of 100).  Scroll down and you will see that the site has been up for over 11 years, yet only has 45 pages indexed by google.

The search engines do not like sites like these because they are not frequently updated.  Their content gets stale.

On the other hand, this site, SteveRosenbaum.com is optimized much better for the search engines to drive traffic to it.  It scores a 93!  Even though this particular site has only been up for less than 6 months, Google has indexed over 139 pages on it!

Do you want to set up your site to get more traffic, while saving yourself a lot of money, time and aggravation? Ask me about my turnkey blog installation and training program.  In less than 2 days, you can completely upgrade your site to be fully optimized with a custom, full-featured blog installed on your own private domain.

Send me an email, and tell me more about your needs.

Looking for some great places for free downloads and other great resources on the web?

When you ‘ve been doing internet marketing successfully as long as I have, you build up quite a list of vital contacts and resources.

Remember, you can access my premium link directory, $1,000,000 Rolodex… filled with the tools that have helped me and that I feel every online marketer should have.

I just updated it yesterday with several new fantastic royalty free image sites that will find you the perfect picture for your new blog post.

Got any favorite places for me to add to my rolodex?  Leave me the info in the comment box, and I’ll take a look!

Ok, today we all learned about social media and community. Let’s build a recap to pool notes and favorite moments. What were your favorite moments, favorite links, etc… Comment Below.

Here are some of the presentation Links:

• Jay Thompson
• Darin Persinger
• Rob Hahn

You need to know so much more.

So here’s what I’ve done for you:

I’ve already cut 3 Preview Videos for my presentation, “Show Me Your Back End”. I will release those over the next few days and email you when you can see them (if you don’t follow me already, do so below or at right, because you will want to know when you can see these important videos).  This is the same list as the VREBC preview calls.  If you already get them, then you are already subscribed and will get all these videos.

Monday, January 4, 2010, at 3:15 PST will be my presentation “Show Me Your Back End” in Room 4 of VREBC.   Register now if you haven’t already.

After my presentation, and continuing for several days, I will release a series of follow up videos.

I’m doing this because I want you to get the whole story.

This is some of the best free marketing education you will find anywhere. I want you to have it because I want 2010 to be your best year ever. And I’m hoping that you will let me help you make it that way.

So, follow me now, and watch carefully for emails from me over the next several days announcing the release of these videos. And come to my presentation, Monday, January 4, 2010 at 3:15 PST.

Oh, can I ask you just one small favor?

Please share this with others you know will want it. Tweet about it, post it on Facebook and blog about it, and give me your comments. Thank you, very much.

Wishing you all the best in 2010!
