So to make it easier on you here’s a quick cheat for more content in less time:
1. Head over to Topsy.com or Buzzsumo.com and find a very popular article.
2. Download or save the article and go to iWriter.com
3. Submit the article and 4-12 hours later you’ll have a fresh post to put on your WordPress site.
That’s it! iWriter is a great way to get things written for cheap!
Tips for outsourcing your real estate content writing:
- The first thing to do when starting to outsource the writing is to define the task really, really clearly. That means making your expectations firm. Be sure to take a few moments to really write down what you actually want in your article. I think it helps to tell the writer that you don’t want an SEO optimized post.
- It’s really helpful to tell the writer to be helpful and creative. Sometimes telling them to ‘tell a story’ will get you better content. I think this is because writers on iWriter often are told to write posts for SEO reasons. Honestly, SEO optimized posts will not help you get traffic. You are mostly interested in getting traffic from Social Media for the first 1-3 years of your website’s life.
- Read the post before approving it! This is very important. You can reject poorly written articles. And should reject them. If a post sounds like someone just swapped words using a thesaurus, they probably used an article spinner. These tools create posts that are terrible if you actually read them out loud. Be sure to read what you have before approving it.
- Integrate lead capture tools after you’ve setup your article. Here’s a video on that:
If you don’t have a blog about real estate, I really recommend you start one. 89% of people do their research online before contacting any business. This means you’re already behind the game if you don’t have content online for these people to find. There is a saying called “Content is king.” It’s really true in real estate.
If you have the most (best) local real estate content, people will find you more than your competitors and you will have more leads.
Here’s a quick post on how to setup your own WordPress real estate blog in about 15 minutes. I highly recommend using WordPress over any other website CMS out there. They have tons of free plugins that let you capture leads like I talked about in the above video.
