Hello Warriors,

I am just finishing up a service based website. i am providing services to realtors and local service providers to post ads for them on Craigslist.

What type of other services i can provide to local service providers ?

Thanks

    That's like asking:

    "How long is a piece of string?"

    What are you good at? What value can you (or your team) bring to the table?

    I think though the idea of a posting service for local Realtors on CL is a fantastic one in and of itself.

    Why not concentrate, get really good at, and specialize in just that?

    You aren't just a CL poster. Those are a dime a dozen. You are a service that specializes in Real Estate listing postings to CL and have expertise in that specific area so you can really help agents with their postings and getting results from those postings.

    Sounds like a winning idea to me.

    My advice would be to NOT spread yourself too thin, especially in the beginning and especially if you really have no idea what other services you can provide.

    I really agree with Alex. The realtors have a network within their boards of real estate. IF you become the "go to" guy, they will all be using you. I was in real estate for over 20 years, & word of mouth was the best advertising . .

    If you are an experience marketer then you should use your experience to posting on CL. You can provide your experience and information or specific service which needs as a realtors to local and service providers.

      A service I've provided to realtors is "Video Tours" and....I do something NOBODY ELSE IS DOING to get property hunters to "Click on MY client's Listings"!

      1st - I use a free video creation program from Microsoft called "Photo Story 3" (Because I can make it "seem like a real video" with the "Scan and Zoom") I use photos the agent has taken".)
      2) - I use an outside shot of the house....put a "white triangle" in the center (so it appears there's a Link to a Video) and place it in "PIC VIEW". THIS is what gets viewers to click on. They then go to the Agent's Listing where they can see the REAL Link to the Video Tour.

      MY photos with the "White Triangle" (make Triangle BIG so it stands out) GRAB ATTENTION! and get clicked on.

      When potential clients see this, they quickly understand HOW "My Photos" can bring them more viewers.

      Give it a try.

      P.S. I have also made Video Tours of Agent's Listings....ON SPEC....... using their photos. (I also watermark them) Showing them the "Video Tour" I made (with local Agents I started out by making DVDs and placing them in my "Portable DVD Player" and go to the Agent's office and set the Player on their desk. They are "Blown Away"!)

        Awesome idea !

        Hi, how much you charge them for video tours ?

        And where they use these video tours? in there website ? or you just upload it to you-tube so they can embed ?

    Here's another service they love...every house an agent lists gets a sign put in front of it..they never have enough fliers in the front of it and when someone does pick up the flier, they get away without the agent finding out. Set up a Text number with text for more info..they get a response with the video you have created AND the agent gets an automatic message that gives them the phone number of the person who who was requesting information.

    There are many ways to advertise on Craigslist. I totally agree that mobile sites are great to sell! They are great to sell. I make a lot from them.
