I received an email earlier today from someone who wanted to share a “clever marketing video” with me. I get many emails like this every week, and most of the links that are shared are simply a waste of my time. Expecting the worst, I followed the link and was in for a pleasant surprise — I was glued to the video from the start.
The video below is a perfect example of a viral video that is not only clever, but that also meets its purpose – to promote a product or service, the Harris Real Estate Group out of Vancouver.
So, without any more delay, I would like to present to you a man named Gary Shlitz, who will instruct you how to be a good real estate agent . . .
Meet Gary Shlitz
. . . by NOT being like Gary Shlitz!
Kudos to the guys behind this video – I’m a huge fan now!

BiggerPockets.com was founded by Joshua Reed Dorkin in August 2004. An entrepreneur, web designer, real estate investor, and one-time realtor, Joshua was not satisfied by the online offerings of other real estate sites out there, and decided to build one himself. Mr. Dorkin's vision for BiggerPockets has helped to propel it into becoming one of the top real estate destinations online. His vision for the site and its future has brought national press attention to both Mr. Dorkin and to BiggerPockets.

This was highly entertaining, I loved it. The dry humor the background music, everything. If I was in Vancouver and needed a house, I’d give these guys a call for sure. Great marketing.

Not only is it entertaining and probably effective, this type of video is relatively cheap to produce and promote. I’m working on one for my IT business that has got me learning a lot. Scheduled for release on 11/6.
