Join Jessica Shaw & Tiffany Billman as they walk you through a step-by-step tip guide to finding a niche that’s both profitable and something you can feel passionate about.

5 Tips to execute your niche strategy

1. Find what platform works for you

Social Media is not one size fits all
You do NOT need to be active on all platforms
Your content should be different on each platform.
- This can be time-consuming or you can get a virtual assistant
Post on outlets you enjoy!
- It will be easier to stay on brand

2. Create a plan

Make a grid to follow, have a series, campaigns, etc.
Schedule outposts
- Make a plan to set aside an allotted amount of time every week to upload new content.
  - Later, planoly, hootsuite
Make a budget
- Virtual Assistant, photography, paid campaigns, videography, contests

3. Consistency is Key

Social Media does NOT give instant gratification
Record videos of homes & post them later

4. Be Intentional

Set specific time aside to like, comment, save, and share
- It is easy to get caught up in the mindless scrolling
- When you comment – be intentional write engaging comments
Support others in your industry or local businesses

5. Perform Audits

What is working? What isn’t working?
- Did your YouTube video about what to do during the winter in your area get a ton of views – well that works do more
- Are your posts just sold or just listed not driving any traffic? – maybe that isn’t working time to change

Algorithms are always changing so you should be too
Do research on what other agents are doing. What is trending right now?
Make sure it’s staying on-brand at all times
