Social media is one of the best ways to reach out to potential clients but learning how to use it effectively can be a challenge. This week our guest Chelsea Peitz is here to show us the light about what we all can do to be more effective with our profiles and our posts. She is a grand master of using social media to market your brand and business, and she was gracious enough to come to the OTB studios and share with us some great tips and tricks for building an effective social media strategy.   Plain and simple, one of the biggest reasons holding people back from using social media is fear. We don't think we're interesting enough, or that the content we come up with is not good enough. Chelsea is here to say that it's not about getting likes, it's about getting yourself out there, so if anxiety has you frozen find a way around it.   “I personally love (Instagram) stories because there's no metrics, and for somebody who has content anxiety, I don't have to worry about looking at likes or people aren't going to see the posts. I like that there's no metrics because it reduces the stress, I don't have to think of hashtags, or copy, or editing, maybe slight little edits here and there, but it's fast. But it's supposed to feel unedited.” - Chelsea   Why is this relevant? She goes on to explain:   “The fact is that the majority of stories are ‘face to camera.' So, as we're seeing your face again and again, we're sort of in this exclusive behind the scenes club, and we're hardwired to love other people's faces. …But we just start to have this like know, trust, relatability, familiarity. It really deepens and accelerates the trust process. And I think a big part of that has to do with how we as human beings develop relatability and empathy.” – Chelsea   Real estate isn't a fast-paced sales market. Potential clients could be years away from an actual purchase. But when the time comes that they're ready to purchase and they're looking for an agent to represent them, they're going to want someone they trust to help them through the process. Social Media is that marketing pipeline to help you show off your expertise while building that trust with your followers.     Running a successful social media strategy isn't about being active on all platforms at all times. Unless you have a team helping you out, you have to be careful of overextending yourself and burnout. Focusing your attention on one platform, one that you can really dedicate your time to, will be far more effective in the long run.   “Do I think you should be on all (social media platforms)? Not if you're beginning, no. I think you need to pick one and really, really focus on that one. …I know that my burnout starts to turn on the minute I start going the same level on all of them and I can't. I can't do it. Now if I had a team and they were editing all the things maybe. For me, I'm picking Instagram, and that's where I'm doubling down. And you know, it's not like I never show up on the other places, but it's just not my focus.” – Chelsea   We had a great conversation with Chelsea about these topics and so much more social media on this week's podcast.

As entrepreneurs, social media can be the thing that sets us apart from the competition in the eyes of our potential clients. What are the biggest barriers to posting, and how do we overcome them? How do we build visibility and impact with social media? What tools can we use to put out valuable and relevant content? On this episode, real estate agent and marketing expert, Carlos G, shares how agents can start winning the social media game.    Social media doesn’t change the fact that you have to get up everyday and generate new business and follow up, but you also need to add in the layer of visibility, presence and content. -Brendon Payne    Takeaways + Tactics  Social media doesn’t make the grind, lead generation and follow up unnecessary, but not having that presence takes away from our relevance and could mean us losing out to an agent who has it.  When we meet people in person, we look the way we look and we sound the way we sound. There’s nothing different when we’re on video.  If we want to figure out what we believe, all we have to do is look at what we’ve got. If we want more, we have to change something.  Our social media content should be 90% value and 10% entertainment. At the start of the show, Carlos shared how he got into real estate, and how attention is the most challenging thing for entrepreneurs to capture online. Next, we talked about the 3 things entrepreneurs need to have to be able to succeed and how to use social media as a megaphone. We talked about why we shouldn’t approach social media like celebrities do, and the steps we can take to get started on social media.  We also talked about: Why social media isn’t a magic pill for success in real estate  How to build visibility and impact  How to overcome the fear of putting content out online   Guest Bio-  Carlos is an entrepreneur, real estate coach and podcast host.

Reiki made such an impact on my daughter, that she is taking classes from MaryBeth to get her own Reiki certificate. She would like to use those skills on animals and give them the same physical and mental relief she got. The change in my daughter was so profound to everyone in the family, that I have been going to MaryBeth for healing sessions, as well as a sister and my 85-year old mother!

Spirit sent me a message last week, "Don't be afraid to let go", and Mary Beth was instrumental in assisting me to release my self-doubt and embrace my worthiness about owning my power and gifts from God.

She has the intuition to tap into specific areas of your body, the chakras, and pinpoint the issues that are worth investigating; even giving you the knowledge as to where you can find resources or supplements. This was my first ever healing session and frankly, I was quite shocked when she said, "Just go lay down and relax", no work on my end - even got a short nap! I was also skeptical, especially since we lived in totally opposite parts of the country. The results astounded me, Mary Beth was spot on when she explained what was going on in my body, and then it made perfect sense to me.

“If you’re not amplifying the positive stories around your brand, you’re missing out on a huge opportunity.” This past week, I had the pleasure of speaking at the Social Media Rockstar event in Minnesota alongside last week’s guest Lee Odden. Also speaking at the event was Aaron Weiche, CMO of GetFiveStars, an online review platform. I couldn’t wait to share his insights with you on this week’s episode of the On Brand podcast. Enjoy This Episode Now Download Episode Subscribe via iTunes Subscribe via Stitcher About Aaron Weiche A passionate, design oriented problem solver, Aaron has been involved in web design, development, and online marketing since 1998. In having helped grow 3 different digital agencies in the Minneapolis area, Aaron has helped launch over 350 websites for small business on up to Fortune 100 companies. In growing multiple agencies past the $2M mark in founder and executive roles, Aaron has a strong sense of brand, team building, user experience and the full digital life-cycle a campaign and its assets must deliver. Joining GetFiveStars in 2015, Aaron has led the marketing, sales, and product UX initiatives helping the platform serve over 18,000 businesses globally and growing. The platform is a customer feedback and online review platform that helps brands and businesses listen, evaluate, and market their customer’s experiences.

Episode Highlights So what is GetFiveStars? “It’s a simple-to-implement online platform for gathering customer feedback. Previously we lacked a way of doing this as brands.” “Gathering online reviews is like farming …” Aaron shared a great mindset for marketers thinking about online rating and reviews. “You have to plant seeds that you are listening — that you care about customer feedback.” What about that one-star review? I couldn’t wait to ask Aaron the million-dollar question that businesses of all shapes and sizes struggle with. What do you do with that less-than-ideal one-star review. “Most want it taken down but realize they can’t. You have to ask everyone else to leave a review. That (negative review) can’t be the only online representation of your brand.” Criticism is hard to take. “Small business owners wear many hats. We’re built to be defensive right away.” Aaron shared that GetFiveStars has actually built an innovative feature into the platform that holds responses so they don’t get sent in anger while emotions run high (a pretty smart response to human nature). What’s one thing marketers should be more focused on with online reviews? “Complete your Google My Business page.” That’s a critical step to capturing customer feedback that you can’t skip. What brand has made Aaron smile recently? Aaron told a great story about a little something extra — a smile after the sale — he got from the smart folks at Cambria countertops. To learn more, go to the GetFiveStars website as well as his personal site. You can also connect with him on Twitter.

Prior to relocating to Florida, Batya was a computer technology teacher in Israel; she now uses those skills to master the social media market and to teach others. Her company trains, maintains and consultants clients, ranging from manufacturing to charitable organizations, on how to get the best results from their social media efforts.   For the first seven years in the U.S., Batya was successful in creating a Home and Office Organizational business plus a Renovation and Commercial Cleaning company.

She has been quoted in saying, “I love language and upon arriving in America I taught myself the language of the United States. “I am now speaking English, it is a privilege.”   Batya has used her schooling and formal training in the computer sciences to advance her business career in the U.S. In Israel, she earned her degrees in Education and Teaching in the field of Computer Technology as her major concentration. She began her business career in Florida in the real estate related industry with her renovation and cleaning services, but when the Real Estate market changed, so did Batya. Being a savvy entrepreneur, she saw social media as a natural transition since she had the knowledge and abilities, from her education background, to create a new business venture. Being an innovative individual of entrepreneurial spirit, which is what brought Batya to America in the first place, she reinvented herself.   Her business did not happen overnight; Batya looked for a business opportunity that would lend itself to her education. She did market research and saw a trend in Public Relations and Marketing that was moving more towards Social Media. Batya jumped on the opportunity and created her company, Social Connect, and has excelled as an expert in Social Media, SEO/SEM (Search Engine Marketing), Mobile Sites, Applications and Web Site Design.
