Today I want to talk to you about one of the most heavily debated concepts that comes up daily between real estate agents and myself: niche marketing.
Let's start off by defining that, because I am willing to bet that when I say "niche marketing" to you, you might think I'm just talking about a location.
In real estate a "niche" is a specialized but PROFITABLE corner of your local market.
Notice how I capitalized "profitable"? That's because when I tell you throughout this article that I want you to select a niche and start focusing all of your efforts on it, please also understand that you must select a corner of the market that will actually make you money!
My answer to these objections is always the same: If you truly want to be successful as a real estate agent, if you want to rise above the rest and kill it, if you want people to be banging down your door to list their house (rather than the other way around), you can't afford to NOT select a niche. Take a minute and be honest with me and yourself: is throwing your marketing budget in a million random directions producing an ROI that you are proud of...or even satisfied with? Pumping up your marketing ROI is just one of the benefits that you will enjoy when you man-up and select a real estate niche. Here are five more benefits:
- Your SEO will go through the roof
- Your online leads will become more qualified
- Your content will become more focused and effective
- You will look like an expert in that niche
- You will actually become an expert in that niche
