Once you’ve defined your niche, you’re ready to move on to WHAT will make you famous in your niche.

Lately it has been said that 80 percent of the search for housing begins on the Internet. If you are going to become a famous real estate agent, you must become an internet expert. Most of the major brokers today offer a website for their agents. It would be a good idea if you were looking for training to make your website stand out from the rest.

Also, get a cheap web domain from one of the online providers like GoDaddy. You can give it a creative name that will make people find you and help them remember it when they need to contact you.

The brand is the key to differentiate yourself from the rest. You must have a brand that makes people remember you.

Either way, you’ll want your website up and running with eye-catching graphics and links that lead people to useful information. Make sure to insert a quality image of yourself. Sales have been lost due to an amateur image.

YouTube is a website where you can post videos that you have created with useful real estate information. In addition to posting it on your blog, you may want to consider video teaching about the reimbursement that first-time homeowners may receive due to the approval of the federal stimulus package. Information like that is considered very valuable and would be visited many times if you provide a professional presentation of it.

You will need a blog on your website that provides useful information for potential homeowners, as well as allowing readers to comment on your website. Comments are sometimes quite helpful in discovering what your audience really cares about.

Establish an RSS feed to allow readers to easily subscribe to your blog. If you don’t know what it is, the webmaster you hire can create it for you.

You will also want to consider signing up for various social networks, such as Active Rain, Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, Digg, LinkedIn, and others. Be sure to include your website link on your profile of all social media sites that you become a member of, along with your brand name.

While creating an impressive website, you will want to find out and decide how you will distribute your listings across the web. You want your customers to be amazed by your ability to expose your listings.

The last thing you want to deal with is a means of determining your return on investment (ROI). You need a good method of keeping track of your marketing and advertising expenses so that you know what your ROI is. Be sure to include a counter on your website that tracks unique visits to your site, along with some way to analyze the traffic your site receives to improve results.
