Roald Marth gave a technology presentation at the
Toronto Real Estate
Board's annual meeting,
REALTOR QUEST, on Tuesday, April 24, 2007.
Here are a few links to topics discussed.
-
Buy your domain name. Register it at
GoDaddy.com or
other domain registrar.
-
Build a website at that domain that proves your expertise. This is your
online resume.
-
Set up a Google
AdWords account and buy your own name.
-
Use video to prove your expertise. Here is the example video we shot on
stage using a
Canon
SD800 point and shoot camera and played from a
2GB
SanDisk USB enabled SDCard. This video has been published to the web
using Blip.tv, and embedded
into this blog post for free:
-
Make your site's interface user-friendly. It should be easy for people to
find what they're looking for.
-
Give them them information they're looking for. Consumers want information.
Give away the basic information. Charge for expertise.
-
