Peter, These are great articles, but for someone that may not be as tech savvy as others..HELP!!! First of all, I been trying to located a vendor to purchase eBooks or get them free. Any suggestions? Also, how do you set up the box to request the information from your future client? Where do you find a company or vendor that will provide automated responses? Sorry for all the questions, but you certainly seem to have a handle on social media.

Michelle – Please provide the source of your statistics if you’re going to use them to argue a point. As for your point “a house will sell much more quickly if done by a Realtor”, I’ll argue that a house will sell quickly if it is priced right, regardless of who lists it – a realtor or FSBO.

selling a house through the internet by yourself is not a good idea. Statistics show that homeowners receive 16% less of their asking price when doing this. It is best to go through a broker and pay a fee. PLUS a house will sell much more quickly if done by a Realtor.

Hi Peter,

The emails that I receive appear to me as junk/advertisement mail and I usually delete, unsubscribe and/or setup a rule so they go straight into junk. Clearly, this is what we don’t want. Obviously, they aren’t coming across useful information in my eyes. I think you are right in that the key is providing “quality information”. I plan to take a look at aweber because I’m not entirely happy with what I currently use and its quite expensive. If you don’t mind, I would also like to sign into your site to receive your emails.

Hi Susan,

Can you elaborate on the type of emails you are receiving from vendors? I agree with you to some point because a lot of vendors/businesses don’t build relationship with people and don’t personalize their emails to the person they are sending it to.

When you sign up to my site, I personalize my emails, send HIGH quality information, ask them questions where they can respond to me and build relationship with them. If the email looks like an advertisement, then you are right, it’s not going to help you much. However, if you provide them with what THEY want, they’ll be more than happy to open your emails.

The service I use is called aweber. They are one of the best email marketing services on the internet.

Peter, I agree that it is important to have some form of auto responder. However I see Kevin’s point too. I know I get tired of receiving them from vendors myself. Something unique to set it apart from the rest would be good, but what.

I am also interested in what program you would recommend. Right now I am using Number1Expert. Perhaps some of this info will be addressed in a future blog.

Hi Kevin, Thanks for your comments. great comment by the way. I totally understand where you are coming from. There is a lot more to email marketing than just one post. In my own personal business and coaching, I have many videos showing people how to use the power of email marketing. I wrote this post to show people reading this blog that it is entirely possible to use the internet in their real estate business. Autoresponder messages are a great example because you write your message once, then set it and forget it. If you would like, I can write another blog post next week that can go more in depth on this topic. Let me know.
