Host A Workshop For Your Members and Earn 30% of the Registration Fees For Your Board

2007-12-01T10:32:00.000-10:00

Hosting the "Do-It-Yourself Internet Marketing Workshop for Real Estate Professionals is easy and profitable. We do the work and you earn 30% of the registration fees.

But the real benefit of hosting this program is not the money. It's the satisfaction of knowing you've provided your members with knowledge they can use immediately to build their business.

VisOnTheNet is an Hawaiian based real estate Internet marketing research and education company. We stay abreast of the newest and most effective lead-generating tools and techniques and share that information with Realtors who want to compete for the 80% of home buyers who use the Internet to find a home.

Every agent is capable of generating his or her own leads. They just don't know it's done. No one, no matter how new they are to technology needs to rely on lead-generating companies to build their business.

Give an agent a lead and he will eat for a day. Teach an agent to generate his own leads and he will never tell a soul how he did it. - Josh Sommers

There are Three Huge Benefits to offering this workshop through your Board of Realtors.

First, your association earns 30% of the registration fee. This can easily be as much as $5,000 with as few as 100 participants.
Second, you're offering your members information that is very difficult and expensive to acquire. Those who possess this knowledge don't want to share it.
Finally, this is a wonderful opportunity to build your membership. Non-members can save $100 in registration fees by joining your association. Great incentive!

"Become The Recognized Real Estate Authority In Any Community In 60 Days Or less Without Spending A Dime on Marketing."

New to town without a marketing budget? You can farm and own any neighborhood in less than 60 Days once you know how to use these Free marketing tools from Google.

Imagine becoming the recognized real estate authority in the community of your choice and building that reputation in less than 60 days. Now imagine doing it without spending a dime on marketing in a neighborhood that is presumably entrenched by your competition. Sound impossible? It's not!

The Problem

Entrenched Competitors with An Unlimited Marketing Budget

You want to farm a community but you don't have the money to spend on expensive postcards and reports to build your brand. Besides, the bigger real estate companies seem to be entrenched in the neighborhood you want to farm and they have a marketing budget that goes on forever. How can you compete?

The Solution

Don't Compete - Start a New Game

Americans are an interesting people. We're most likely to do business with the people we know, like and trust than we are with a company that spends thousands of dollars advertising their service. We're also 100 times more likely to hire a real estate professional based on our feelings toward them than on any other factor. Why do you think it is so much easier to sell a home to a friend than to a stranger?

So the questions you should ask yourself are, "How can I quickly build a strong relationship with the people in the community I want to farm? How can I help them get to know me, like me and trust me ... and want to hire me to help them buy or sell their next home?" How can I create an environment where homebuyers and sellers will contact me, rather than me having to contact them? It's not as hard as you think ... you just need to think differently.

The best way to build your reputation and demonstrate your experteese is to host a community website with information the neighbors can't wait to get their hands on ... including information about your real estate service. By hosting a community website you can:

Position you as the Real Estate Expert in the community.
Provide neighbors with an easy way to communicate with you and each other.
Build personal realtionships with homeowners that you can not do with traditional advertising.

Our two set video CD program, "Farming With Google" will show you how to create your own community website using free tools that are available from the largest, most successful technology company in the world ... Google.

Take a look at the Maui Meadows Community Website and look at what you will be able to do without the help of a technician ... honest.

Create your very own website and have it appear on the Internet in less than 2 minutes.
Add photographs, video tours, slide shows and guestbooks by yourself.
Create links to your primary real estate website making it convenient for homebuyers and sellers to contact you quickly.
Provide a link to neighborhood news feeds ... provided by Google.
Promote your open houses to neighbors and people interested in the neighborhood.
Provide neighbors with real estate reports without the cost of postage.
Demonstrate your expertise by writing interesting home improvement tips.
Build relationships by writing about neighbors and promoting their business.
Give neighbors the opportunity to participate in your website by offering a comment and an opinion poll section.
Promote yourself on every page of your site while being seen as likeable, trustworthy and knowledgeable.

I Just Need Someone To Take Me By The Hand And Walk Me Through The Process
And that's exactly what this video CD program does. We segmented the progam up into small bit-sized pieces so that you can easily follow along without getting lost. Watch my every move as I set-up a community website and build yours along with me at the same time.

It's so much better than a seminar because you can stop the CD and watch it over and over again until you get it. It's better than a book because you will be able to see what to do without having to read directions. I also give you tips and additional information from the perspective of a marketing consultant to help you build a successful web presence that you won't find anywhere else.

And when Google offers their new and improved services, which they will undoubtably do, you will have immediate internet access to additional videos on our website to show you how to take advantage of those tools. The System - Farming With Google is always up-to-date

She started her career with the Chicago Sun-Times with absolutely no journialistic experience by dispensing usable advice in a friendly manner. In a very short time she became popular with her fans and was able to parlay her popularity into a very successful business. You know her as Ann Landers.

You can get the same results by offering your customers (soon to become fans) the same kind of helpful, timly infomation that they actually look forward to receiving ... and best of all you don't have to do it yourself.

The key to creating a successful community website is to provide meaningful information to a targeted marketing in a timely manner. "The System - Farming With Google" will show you how to do just that ... and you don't have to do it alone.

You Don't Have To Do It Alone
Every neighborhood is teaming with colorful, creative people who want to see your community website succeed. They will help you write article, update your site, add content and promote your business. Before long your community site will take on a life of its own with you in the captains chair.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it hard to learn?
It's so easy a monkey can do it.*

Can I do it by myself?
Absolutely. The video program is all you need and you can watch it over and over again.

How much does it cost?
The Farming With Google video CD program is $197 and has a three month, 100% no questions asked money back guarantee. The software you'll use to create and host your blog is absolutely free.

How Long will it take to create my first website?
It will take you less than 10 minutes to set up your Google account and an additional 5 minutes to create and upload your first piece of content. After that it will take a few hours to create the look and feel you want for your site before you're ready for prime time. Once you're happy with the look of your site, you can add new content in just a few minutes.

Can I control who makes comments on my site and what they say?
Yes. You have complete control concerning if a comment appears on your website or not. You can not however control what people write.

What equipment do I need?
You need a Windows computer and internet access to produce a website on Google Blogger. You will also need a CD player to watch the Farming with Google vidoes on your computer. If you want to add video to your website you will need a video camera and a cable to upload the video to your computer. That's it.

Maybe You Want To Build A Website For Another Purpose

The main purpose of the Farming With Google vidoe CD set is to show you how to use Google technology to farm a community, but you don't have to stop there. You can use your new skill to build many other websites ... again, without the help of a technician.

Imagine being able to create a website on any subject you choose including a site for your:

Family vacation or reunion with photos, videos and slideshows.
Hobbies and other interests.
Childrens sports team or school activities.
A family business.
A side business.

You will possess a skill that people will be willing to pay you handsomly to learn or to help them build their web presence. You could even include Google Adsense on your website and earn money by allowing others to advertise on it. We'll show you how that's done too.

You Don't have to Pay Someone To Add Content To Your Website Any Longer

Did you ever think that you, a liberal arts major would be able to add content to the Internet without the help of a technician ... or a fourth grader? Well now you can and it's as easy as pie.

I Don't Have Time To Farm A Community

There's no way around it. Farming a community is either going to take your time or your money. If you have the money, great! If you don't have the money, I'm sorry, it's going to take your time.

The question you really need to ask yourself is "Of the time I do have, how do I want to spend it finding new customers?" Do you want to spend it building relationships or do you want to spend it sending out marketing pieces?

If you really don't have the time, hire someone to help you. Let them learn how to create a community website and pay them to ad content for you. That's a real timesaver.

I Don't Have The Money To Compete

You won't need it because you won't be competing with cash rich real estate companies who spend tens of thousands of dollars a month on print and postage to brand themselves. You're going to be playing a different game ... a game that homebuyers and sellers want to play.

I Am Not A Techie

It wasn't all that long ago when you had to know HTML to build a website. Today, Google has made it so easy that a monkey can do it*. If you can use a keyboard ... you can build a community website.

I'm Looking For Buyers Not Sellers

Community websites are a magnet for homebuyers who don't live in the community. Unlike targeting a neighborhood with postcard and real estate reports that only go to homeowners, a community website is easily available to potential homebuyers from all over the world. You can't reach those people with standard farming techniques.

When you create a comprehensive community site you do three things to attract homebuyers.

Google and the rest of the search engines are much more likely to present your community website at the top of the search results page for the name of the community than they are a real estate site trying to market to homebuyers in that community. This is because the Search Engines see your website as a better community resource that the information provided on real estate sites.

Homebuyers are more likely to visit a community website to learn about the community than they are a real estate website. Buyers see real estate web sites biased toward every community where they sell homes but feel they are getting the real deal on a community site.

When you build a non-commercail community site other website owners are much more likely to refer people to your site then they are to a real estate website. Not only does this help you on the search results page, but it gives you many more oipportunities for homebuyers to find your site through other webpages.

Imagine that you're moving your family to the island of Maui from the mainland. You've heard about the community of Maui Meadows, but you would like to learn more. So you go to Google and type in the term "Maui Meadows." Your choices include:

. Before looking for a home, people want to know about the community first.

Successful community websites are not just for the people who live in the community, they're also for the people who want to learn about the community before deciding to move there.

They are more likely to get accurate, up-to-date information about a community on a community website than a real estate site.

They are much more likely to get an unbiased view of the community

They are

Imagine if you wanted to move to a community on the island of Maui in Hawaii. Where would you go to learn about that community? Would you go to a real estate website or would you go to the community website directly?

Once you start adding content to your community site, search engines like Google, MSN and Yahoo! will take note and place your site high on their results page. That's where homebuyers go when they are looking for homes.

A real estate agent that is currently farming a community with postcards, real estate reports and door hangers.

Fear - If you don't learn how to ad content to the Internet, you will be obsolete

Greed - The real estate agents who can tap into the Internet will be able to make contact with the largest, most technolocial savvy set of homebuyers and sellers in history. That's where the money is.

Love - The Internet is the largest social network in the universe. If you're not plugged in you you don't exist.

Vanity - Imagine how you will feel when you show your spouce, children, co-workers and customers what you're capable of creating ... and then uploading it to the Internet for the world to see. Wow!

Benevolence - Building a community website is not just about earning money. It's also about giving back to the community by keeping them informed on important events. It's about giving them a communication tool that currently does not exist. It's about giving them the opportunity to communite with you and each other on important issues and not so improtant issues. That's a successful community site.

Why would you farm with a blog rather than a website?

To start, a blog is a website with two major exceptions.

It places new content on your blog by date.

It allows neighbors to participate in your blog by making comments on your blog. You can't do that on a standard website.

don't let your competition beat you to the punch. Once a community website presence is established, it will be very difficult, if not impossible to replace them. Get your community blog up today.

I don't have the time to do this.

You're either so busy that you don't need to farm a community or your not. If you're that bu

The reality is you don't have the time not to do it. If you're serious about building your business, there is no quicker way to become the recognized authority in your field than by creating a strong presence in the community you're farming. Don't kid yourself

Where have all the good
prospects gone!?

WHY ONLINE OF COURSE!

Like most other people, you are now probably using the internet for just about everything from research, to shopping, to tying your shoes. It's more efficient, more effective, and if done right.... it can be UNBELIEVABLY profitable! So why on earth aren't you farming communites online with the tons of free, captivating software already available on the web?

Chances are, you've never thought or heard about it!

VisOnTheNet

Best of all, we've not only found the best software to use from all over the web, but all of these sites offer their services absolutely free of charge!

We've literally spent months combing through cyberspace and weeding out the technology that would give a programmer a heart attack to present you with the easiest, most inexpensive, and (more importantly) BEST software available today!

Now you're probably thinking
Well that sounds all fine and dandy but......

How hard is it to farm for prospects using a blog?

If you can turn on your computer and surf the Web, you have all the skills you'll need. Imagine adding articles, photographs, slide shows, calendars and even videos to your own community web site. We give you exact step-by-step instructions to take away the pain, hassle, and guesswork of learning and using new technology like this.

If the old method seems to be working well for you that's excellent! but I promise you, by switching to VisOnTheNet's system you won't just dramatically increase your prospects want to work with you, but you will dramatically decrease ALL of the money you spend on traditional print advertising such as postcards and newsletters that frankly, might as well be used as fuel for the campfire. If you want your prospects to truly feel like you are "technologically"
and "internetologically" (is that second one really a word?)- savvy, I guarantee this will boost your efforts 10 fold.

Pre-Paying Customers

2007-06-04T12:16:00.000-10:00

In my wallet, I've got a document.A document that swears my allegiance.
It doesn't swear allegiance to a country.Or a city. Or my local council (God help me, if I did that).It swears allegiance to caffeine at the Massimo Cafe in an Aucklandsuburb of Takapuna.
Ten little tabs on that plastic coffee card enable me to savour tenbig lattes, in a big latte bowl.
===================================So what's new about a coffee card, you ask?===================================Almost every cafe you've been to has some form of loyalty card.You drink nine coffees. You get one free.Nope, this card doesn't work that way.
It's prepaid.You pay for nine coffees. You get one free.
===================================And yes, I realise you've perceived the difference already===================================It's the prepaid factor that's come smack, bang into play.The prepaid factor that you get with a Borders book store card.Or the prepaid Vodafone card that you got with that snazzy mobilephone. Or the prepaid '10 Movie Pass' at the Hoyts Cinemas.
Do you see loyalty?Do you see consumption?Do you see how one tiny little card is playing super-salespersonfor these companies?
===================================Which is all very fine you think, but hey, I don't run a cafe===================================Agreed. But that doesn't mean you can't run the prepaid loyalty, eh?
Let's take an example:---------------------Let's say you train businesses for instance. You know thekind-workshops and seminars. And let's say you hold a workshopwhere about fifteen people turn up. Now what are the chances ofthose very same businesses, turning up for another workshop in thenext two months?
===================================Try saying zero...===================================Because it's more than likely that a business that's just done aworkshop with you, is not going to do a workshop within the nexttwo months.
But let's make this scenario truly bizarre.
Let's say you not only want the businesses to attend your workshop,but you want them to attend six workshops in the next 6-8 months.How could you achieve this remarkable feat?
===================================Um, Prepaid loyalty, of course===================================At the point of purchase, a client is more than willing to purchasemore from you. So if you make the right offer to the client, andget them to pre-pay, you're creating three core factors of marketing.
1) Increased cash-flow.2) Increased consumption.3) Segregation of customers.
===================================Let's sashay onto Point 1, shall we?===================================Point 1: Increased cash-flow: Even a dope can figure this one out.Massimo cafe gets my money before I've even sniffed my firstcoffee. Borders gets my money whether I'm in an educational mood ornot. And yes, if you're in the training business, your client buysinto six workshops long before you've got the content out of thedoor.
And hey, cash in the bank is always the way to go, but it'sconsumption that really makes the difference.
===================================Point 2: Increase in consumption===================================You buy the prepaid phone card, so you use it. You go to thosemovies because you already paid for them in advance. And here's theitsy-bitsy secret to consumption. The more you consume, the moreyou tend to consume. You drink coffee, because you drink coffee.You have a favourite restaurant, because you've been there morethan once before.
If you do just about anything often enough, you build a habit. Thishabit is great for you as a customer, because you know in advancewhat you're going to receive. So you're comfortable; relaxed;unconcerned. And in most cases, looking forward to the experience.
As a business, consumption means exactly the same thing, but fromthe opposite point of view. The more the customer gets to know you,the more they understand you. The more they understand yourproduct; your service, the more they like you (if you're not apest, that is). And the very act of repeated consumption buildsconsumption. Which means the customer, having tasted your offeringrepeatedly, is now more likely than ever to keep coming back.
If you're feeling really grrrrrooovy about the prepaid concept,hang in there, while we head over to how 'pre-paid loyalty' bringsa clear segregation of customers.
===================================Point 3: The segregation of customers===================================Now here's what happens when I buy a prepaid card at Massimo cafe.At the end of my ten coffees, I get to put the card in a bowl andwin a prize. Well, lookeee at who's putting those cards in thebowl. Why it's the people who're drinking themselves to caffeineheaven, that's who.
Notice who are 'the folks' attending your six-part workshop. Let'sjust call them your big-time consumers. The ones who keep coming tothe movies and chomp through that popcorn are...indeed not 'normal'customers. They're not folks who drop in and drop out. These arecustomers who're sticking around, whether you like it or not.
===================================And so why on earth would you treat them like any other customer?===================================Why wouldn't you give them special privileges?And invite them to be part of an inner-circle of sorts?Why not segregate these customers from the rest, because they'reindeed different from the rest.
===================================So are you headed towards pre-paid loyalty or not?===================================Because with pre-paid loyalty, you can take the 'not-so-interested'customer, and turn them into 'evangelists' of sorts. And what'sreally cool, is that it applies to pretty much every business youcan think of.
Just ask the local pre-paid undertaker :)

Section 1: How Internet Marketing Works
In this segment you'll walk through the step-by-step process of generating real estate leads. We'll start by showing you how customers use the Internet to find a home. Then we'll show you how to prompt Google to present your web site before your competitions'. In this section you'll learn:

How the top real estate web sites got to the top of Google and what you can do to take their place

Section 2: The Components Of A Profitable Real Estate Web Site
The vast majority of real estate web sites are difficult to use and cause homebuyers and sellers to leave in frustration. Is your web site guilty of any of the eight deadly usability sins? We'll show you what they are and how to fix them. In this segment you'll learn:

The three components present on every successful lead-generating web site
The eight things that cause homebuyers and sellers to leave your site immediately and how to fix them

Every title and mortgage company in the country is interested in helping their customers succeed, and this is a great way to give them the opportunity to do just that. VisOnTheNet has a wonderful co-sponsor package that will help you pack-the-house and off-set most of the program expenses at the same time. You can even invite two non-competing sponsors if you choose.

For a fee of $997 a co-sponsor will receive the following benefits.

1. The sponsor will credit (along with your board) for making this program available.

2. VisOnTheNet will promote the co-sponsor before, during and after the workshop. We will promote them with a

Pre-program postcard marketing campaign
Pre-program e-mail marketing campaign
Public introduction and a table at the workshop
Post-program Internet marketing video campaign

3. The fee to co-sponsor the program could easily be less than $10 per person. That's it.* This is a huge bang for their marketing buck.
