A New Contributor To Mike's Corner

We're going to try to something a little unique with our blog. Over the past month I have had the honor of getting to know one of our clients, a client that like many others is enjoying tremendous success with our product. Connor MacIVOR of the RE/MAX Paris 911 team in California has been singing the praises of our service throughout the RE.Net. In addition, he has found ways to extend the exposure of his episodes using his Realtor.Com account, Utterz, Flickr, his blogs and many other venues.

I asked Connor if he would be interested in doing a series of guest posts. These posts will be tutorials that walk you through the processes that Connor uses for his broadcast channel and episodes. Since becoming an MLBroadcast client, the Paris911 team has seen a dramatic improvement in search engine results. Connor has also seen an increase in call volume and cites his broadcasting endeavors as one of the features that helped them land a nice REO account recently.

You can find Connor everywhere in the social media channels of the RE.net and he is always willing to lend a hand to a fellow RE professional. We're proud to have him on board! Look for his first post to be up in the next day or so. It will show you how to upload your MLBroadcast.Com video episode to Realtor.Com.

P.S. I forgot to mention that Connor and Paris MacIVOR will be joining us at REBarcamp next month!

A 20 lb Sledge Hammer and Other Observations

Because I still can't seem to get caught up enough to finish any worthwhile posts, I thought I would let you know what I have found interesting in my reading and research lately:

Spencer's Post About Realty Times Article on Realtor.Com Draws over 40 Comments

HAR is advertising heavily in Social Networking Sites. I have seen their ads on LinkedIn and Facebook numerous times. If you think social media marketing isn't important, ask someone at HAR why they think it is. In fact, when I get time, I'll do it for you!

Dustin says Outside.In has a chance. I went to the site, not only was my neighborhood not listed, neither was Spring or The Woodlands. Until they get better coverage, I think the jury is still out. There is more to Houston than Bellaire and River Oaks.

The Bloodhound Blog Unchained event wrapped up recently. Tons of videos on their YouTube Channel. Just look at the number of views to find those worth watching, it's a pretty good gauge.

Jay Thompson gives an in depth look at the new web site analysis tool, Woopra. I guess there are just not enough words left in the english language to come up with a start up name that makes any sense any more.

Matt Rathbun has over 22 answers to the question, "I read real estate industry blogs because....." Jump over and add your answer.

We have a new client that is one of the most colorful and genuinely nice people I have spoken with in ages. Is it possible for a client to be more excited about our product than we are? No. But this guy sure comes close. Check out what Connor MacIVOR of Paris911.Com has to say about his new MLBroadcast feed in his blog and on Active Rain (members only). I love the sledge hammer and speeding truck analogies. His feed is the featured MLBroadcast client in the side bar of this blog.
