I’m back from the Inman Connect conference in San Francisco with lots of good information. The next day or so I will post a few thoughts/pictures/feedback from the event.
Below are 10 things that caught my attention at the conference:
1. Video is even more important as the search engines get better at indexing it (these guys can help you)
2. Blogging is getting more exposure in the real estate world (finally) as hundreds of agents showed up for Bloggers Connect in San Francisco
3. Getting your listings out there is very important. Use Craigslist, Trulia, Zillow, Kijiji etc to gain exposure to your listing and your website
4. If you’re not managing your online reputation (i.e., tracking your name on blogs, in blog comments and on various review sites) you need to start now.
5. Great to finally see what other people look like that I have only emailed/phoned/chatted with
6. Real Estate is local. Razor sharp focus is the way to dominate
7. Agents need to learn about Facebook, Linkedin, MyBlogLog, etc to keep up to speed
8. Bloggers love Beer as the Beer for Bloggers event put on by Zillow was jam packed (looking forward to the next one)
9. The internet is the talk of the town. At no point did I notice anyone talking about print advertising
10. Inman puts together a great event, if you missed it, it is worth making the time for the next one
