Ryan inspired a bit of creativity in me, as well. You’ll never believe what he got me to do live on the air! Hint: I ended up providing all listeners with a secret link where they can download a free copy of my Big Bad Home Sale book.

Listen to the show below and snatch your BBHS book!

A good follow up letter hypnotizes the reader and leads them to your desired result.

This is what I LOVE to do… follow up, keep in touch, and be there when the buyer is ready to buy.

It sounds so easy!

It is easy, if you know what to say, how to say it, and when to say it.

This Monday, May 10, I’m teaching my first ever Tomato University Class:
“Show Me Your Back End – Autoresponder Messages That Sell More Homes,”
and I’d like you  to to come.

I’d like you to come for 4 reasons:

1. This is important information that will help your business (even if you
   don’t use an autoresponder, so will still learn to write Killer emails that
   get results)
2. Support Tomato University.  Jim Cronin and his staff have worked
   their back ends off to bring us Virtual Real Estate BarCamp, and I’d like
   them to succeed with their new venture.
3. I love teaching and helping people grow their business.
4. All attendees get my Killer email swipe files that they can copy and use
   for their own business.

   (OK… Full Disclosure, Reason #5: I do get a few shekels for teaching this class… so buy me lunch, and I’ll teach you how to be a great marketer!)

It’s real easy to register now for Show Me Your Back End – Autoresponder Messages That Sell More Homes.

Oh, and can I ask you one more small favor. Please promote my class on twitterusing #SMYBE and also on facebook and I’ll send you a free digital copy of my Big Bad Home Sale book.  Just email me a link to your promo at Steve@SteveRosenbaum.com and let me know where to send the book.

Thank you, Steve, see you Monday.

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?

I am very excited to announce that I will be presenting the new and improved, super-duper, highly automated (but simple to use) follow up system that will turn your leads into clients.

It all happens at RE BarCamp in Austin, March 11, 2010 (right before SXSW).  Sign up now!

A special thank you to all of our sponsors and especially RealtySitesPlus.com and Pacesetter/Reytex Homes, our Lone Star and Cowboy Partners!

Comment below, let me know you’ll be there (and what you’d like to know about your Back End… or just give me a better name for the darned thing!)

P.S. I’ll be posting updates on my Facebook Fan Page so follow me now!

The post Show Me Your Back End – Again!!! appeared first on Steve Rosenbaum.

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.
