Podcasting

 
     

Your listings pages are designed to entice your site visitors to spend more time browsing through your properties. But today’s home buyer doesn’t always have the time to spend in front of the computer. Now, with the advent of Podcasting, your clients can watch your videos or listen to audio tours with them on their Apple iPod or other compatible MP3 player. (Click here for a more complete history of Podcasting.)

Another advantage of Podcasting is that customers can subscribe to the service using the free iTunes tool from Apple, or any number of other tools. Any time you upload an new video or audio file, it's delivered right to their desktop. They can watch it there or transfer it to their mobile device and take it with them. For you, this means that you can create audio and video files describing in glowing detail the features of your listings. Instead of flat text, the listings come alive with your enthusiasm and energy.

     
  Note: Before you can enable Podcasting, you must upload at least one Audio or Video file.  
     

To add podcasting to your listing:

  1. Open any existing listing for editing - or create a new one - and click the Media tab, then click Manage Podcasts.
  2. Complete the Podcast listing items. The Title and Description fields are displayed whenever a client receives this Podcast through iTunes. Make sure you include Keywords that users might search for when looking for real estate Podcasts, such as “Property” “Real Estate” and your local area. Some of these are included automatically.
  3. Select the audio or video files you'd like to deliver with this podcast by clicking the check box for that item. If you select more than one file, they'll be merged together into one continuous file when they're delivered to your subscriber.
  4. Click Save and Close.
