Will Content Marketing Go Away?

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Personal SEO - Website SEO and Real Estate Marketing

With the invention of Tik Tok, SnapChat and all the other hi-falootan things the kids are doing these days,,,, sheesh I sound old, is content marketing even a thing anymore? But in the vein of social media, 45 IS old., Ugh, I hate to admit that but as an SEO "veteran" (dare I say it), social media is flying by. And are marketers that know the business, know the market, know the local community out on our tails? 

Not necessarily...

You know why? 

Because Google AND PEOPLE still like content.

Yes, we scroll when we want to veg,  yes we end (or start) our day with a scroll through our favorite SM or Wordle or whatever, but at the end of the day, we still crave substantial content. Words, information... things that tell us what we want to know. 

How do I know this? 

Well, when we moved to Montana just couple months ago, I was scrolling and finding all the info I could get my hands on about Montana, the area, the neighborhoods, the city, literally EVERYTHING I have been writing about for the last 20 years in my business. Let me find the person that knows the area and writes about it. Not a candid website that everyone has, not the newest TikTok video of some dude dancing in Missoula. I wanted the INFORMATION!  

And you know what I found? 

A gal that was awesome on YouTube but never responded to me. A guy that had a great website but never called me back. A guy that was referred and never followed up.

You know who we went with?

A client that had a great online presence AND connected with me via zoom AND responded.

You have to have it all to get noticed.

PEOPLE - the market's about to get real.

Those that got in a couple of years ago cause the gettin was good are out! You - YOU who do this for a living... for years are back in it to win it. Back in the game, weeding out the fly-by-nighters. I get it. It was good for me too. Easy pickings. But now, the deal is real. Those that know how to ride the wave, ride the market and stick it out are carrying through. Keepin on Keepin on. We've done this since 2001 so we know the market and are ready to ride it with you. 

Need content? Need a new website? Need fresh blogging or area pages built? That's what we do!

Hello Tammy.  Great points here.  You can have all the tools and latest gadgets but it all boils down to the follow thru.  If you are not consistent in using any of them they may as well be antiques.  Mark

Make the video, but if you don't answer the phone the next agent will profit from your work.  Great, advise.

I agree--pp that look on line like to feel they 'connect' with the blog, profile, insta account of the person before contacting. If they don't respond--forget it!

Tammy- this is spot on. Yes, we all want blips and such when we're trolling around but when we need or want to know more, we go to where the content is. Lately I've clicked on titles that I thought would have answers for my search and after reading through and scrolling down, I was so disappointed. Nothing with any meat to it.

That's true and it is REALLY hard to create the amazing content but I truly believe that agents know their area best and can really bring the info to the people!

Good morning Tammy. So happy that retirement does not require a green deal of social media knowledge. For those still active, very timely advice! Enjoy your day.

People buy from people they know and trust. Our culture has always been one of content though through different sources.  Now content is King and provides a springboard to build "knowing and trusting" from the real estate agents to potential clients.

Good morning Tammy Emineth ,

I'm so glad Kathy Streib featured your post in her "Ah-Ha" moments for the week! I missed it and your information is so on! I don't understand those who call to action and get action and don't follow up! I guess they are that busy?? NOT!!

Glad you agree we are in for a realistic market, Tammy. Content will always be important when people are looking for resourceful information. You said you recently moved to Montana, are you close to Kat Palmiotti?
