What about rather than trying to market directly to a large group of consumers, you instead inspire influencers to get the word out for you?
Influencer marketing is a type of marketing that focuses on using ‘people of influence’ to drive your brand’s message to a much larger audience. Rather than trying to market directly to a large group of consumers, you instead inspire influencers to share your content - which helps you to reach an audience you couldn't otherwise reach on your own.

There is nothing more frustrating to the person - or persons - in a real estate business who 'get' content marketing, than to be shut down by other people in their agency who either don’t understand its impact, or think it’s a distraction.
The best people to create content for your business are the people on the front line. If your property managers or salespeople feature in a piece of inherently helpful content in the form of a blog post, video, podcast or some other form of media, it helps establish them as the definitive authority in their local market far quicker than any advertising or promotional tactics would otherwise achieve and it lets people get to know them before they ever meet.
However, the challenge is getting these people to create any content whatsoever, or, to keep them producing engaging content, consistently over time.
In this episode of Real Estate Pros, we'll explore a simple strategy that will help you get buy-in for content marketing in your real estate business and how to inspire the nonbelievers.

In this episode of Real Estate Pros, we'll explore the definition of content marketing, how to apply the core tenets of content marketing in your real estate business and the challenge moving forward for those who don't.
