Why You Need A Plan To Serve Your Current Real Estate Social Media Followers

Let me tell you a little secret, it doesn’t matter how large that number is under your name on your real estate social media platforms if it isn’t growing your business or leading to more leads on your real estate newsletter email list.

I know real estate professionals with less than 1,000 followers who are generating all of their clients from their social media efforts and I know people who have over 100k followers that don’t have the slightest idea how to actually generate an income from all their liking and following.

It’s not about the number my friends! It’s about whether that number is leading to more listings, more installs, more referrals, more clients, and more profits for your business – and more ego.

It doesn’t matter if you have 500 followers for 5,000 followers, if you focus on serving them with valuable content that helps to better their lives you will begin to successfully turn followers to clients.

Top 3 Benefits for Creating a Plan for your Current Real Estate Social Media Followers

1. FOCUS YOUR EFFORTS

When you focus on serving your current real estate social media followers you begin to understand more about what your followers like and do not like. This understanding can help you post more relevant content that leads to more genuine engagement.

Engagement is key when it comes to building your business on social media through profitable relationships. Each post should help you build know/like/trust with your followers and put you one step closer to turning that follower into a client.

2. EXPAND YOUR REACH

When you focus your efforts on satisfying your current followers this funny thing happens…your current followers begin to tell their friends, family, and colleagues about you. When you followers begin to know/like/trust you due to your valuable and relevant content they in turn expand your reach into their sphere of influence.

3. SET YOUR GOALS

Let me remind you, the goal should not be to “get more followers.” That my friends is a vanity goal and popularity will not get you paid. Having a plan for your current followers allows for you to set marketing goals that help grow your business – such as growing your email list, landing one listing presentation a week, or booking two client discover calls.
