If I had to give you just one piece of real estate marketing advice for 2018 it would be to ramp up your video offerings in your marketing.
People want to watch videos. Websites such as Facebook and LinkedIn get great results with video. But there are others as well that benefit from videos. Of course video is what YouTube is all about, but you can also use video on Pinterest and Instagram.
I’ve gathered up some websites that will help you figure out what kind of videos to shoot as well as some advice on how to use your phones to do the work. Take some time to check them out and see if something here will work for you!
