When I first started real estate, I tried anything and everything. Oh, this top agent said they had success with door knocking? Better add that to my list. That agent had success with open houses? Better add that one too. The list went on and on and on, and while I was trying many many different things and working really really hard…the needle wasn’t moving forward. And it wasn’t until I simplified my business and actually DID LESS that I was able to grow and scale. In this week’s episode, we’re talking all about the absolute most important thing in your real estate business : CLARITY.

Podcast Episode #5 - The 1 Thing Your Social Media Strategy Is Missing
Zapier
Agent Rise Coaching with Neil Mathweg
Here at the Social Agents Club, we want your social media to help you be popular 💁♀️ - but also (and more importantly), profitable. In this episode, we’re talking about the 1 thing your social media strategy may be missing in order to get you more of the latter. 🤗
If you are posting consistently - awesome. 👏 If you are posting AUTHENTIC content that shares who you are beyond just real estate - awesome. 👏 If you’re building a community through your social media presence - awesome. 👏
👉 BUT - if you don’t have a clear strategy for how you’re getting people OFF your social media, then this episode is for you. The thing is - you don’t REALLY have control over how you show up on social media. Only around 6% of your audience is actually seeing your content. That’s leaving a ton of people out, isn’t it!? Social media is super important, but there is more work that needs to be done.
The goal of your purposefully social media content should be to: get people OFF your social media…and into your database. THEN you can follow up with these people in a way that makes sense to them (and you!), and in a way where they will be more likely to actually SEE your content. When they are in your database and you know their motivations and goals, you can set up your follow up system specific to them.
If we are being strategic in our social media content about building our business - we need to add in a lead magnet system. This lead magnet will help lead people down the line to working with us as their Realtor...from a like to the closing table - it bridges the gap.
What is a lead magnet?
A lead magnet is an extremely helpful tool that people will want to get from you in exchange for their contact information. Adding a well-crafted lead magnet to your strategy will help you balance attracting engagement to your platforms while also being strategic in generating new leads.
3 characteristic of a great lead magnet:
✅ Short & sweet
✅ Offers a quick win
✅ Addresses a problem or pain-point
Some lead magnet examples:
- home search app
- home valuation tool
- listings in a certain price point or area
- buyer or seller guide
Now that we know the importance of your lead magnet system, let’s review the steps you’ll need to take to get this lead magnet prepped and out to the universe:
STEP #1 : Create your lead magnet
You can create your lead magnet as a simple google doc, spreadsheet, or PDF created in Canva. Don't overthink this! People want the INFORMATION, not just a pretty presentation.
STEP #2 : Create a place to "house" your lead magnet
You will need a link that you can send people when they sign up for your lead magnet. Most likely, you can probably do this through your website provider if you have one, or you can save your PDF as a website in Canva.
STEP #3 : Create a landing page
Your landing page must have a way to collect contact information (name and email). You probably have this capability through your website provider or CRM. If not - you can even do this on a Google Form and then link your lead magnet in the thank you comments when people submit their responses - don't be afraid to get scrappy!!
STEP #4 : Solidify your follow-up plan
When people sign up for your lead magnet, you'll want a great follow-up plan to make sure you're nurturing the relationship until they are ready to buy or sell. This will be specific to you and how you like to run your business.
Remember - your purposeful posts may not get as much engagement or likes, but they are still a super important part of your strategy. Don’t get discouraged if people don’t flock to your lead magnet. We call it a sales funnel for a reason - it starts big and funnels down to a small group of qualified buyers or sellers. Keep posting your content as a reminder to your sphere that you are a Realtor and you have a library of great resources for anyone who wants to buy or sell. 💪

If you’ve been spinning your wheels on social media - trying to come up with new content, trying to figure out what it means to have a content strategy, trying to actually get leads and sales through social media - this episode is for you!
Does this sound familiar? You know you need to post something on social media and you don’t know what to post, so you come up with some random idea or cleaning tip, and post it. Then a few days or weeks later, the same thing happens and you post something random again.
Your motivation is not knowing what to post and feeling pressured to post something. THIS is what we call the never-ending content dilemma.
Think of it like a circle - you don’t know what to post, which leads to a random piece of content. Then you don’t know what to post and that leads to another random piece of content, and it happens over and over and over again.
This can lead to frustration (low engagement or leads from your efforts), stress (you’re constantly thinking you need to be working on your social media), and burnout (what’s the point of social media if it doesn’t get me anywhere?!).
Let's stop that. 😊 CLARITY is the mindset shift that is going to take you from point A to point B : from a disorganized, discombobulated, lack of strategy - to a well-oiled machine of a business. CLARITY will help you go from not getting engagement on your social media content - to a purposeful, well-thought-out, lead-producing strategy.
So - instead of not knowing what to post being your motivation to post, let’s first clarify what your goals are. Then, your motivation for your posts will be that specific goal, and each piece of content that you create will point back to that goal.
So let’s talk about these goals in more detail - of course, these will be specific to you and your business. In our last podcast episode, we talked about the 3 types of posts you need to make each week:
#1: PURPOSEFUL POSTS
The goal for this type of content is to grow your business and get more leads. Examples of these posts would be: buyer/Seller Tips; new listings, proof of success; lead magnets
#2 : PERSONAL POSTS
The goal for this type of content is to invite your audience into YOUR story. Examples of these posts would be: showing your FACE, what you’re doing during the day, goals, struggles, successes, things you’re working on, favorite things, etc
#3 : ENGAGEMENT POSTS
The goal for this type of content is to get more likes, comments, and shares - to really get people talking. Examples of these posts would be: asking engaging questions like advice or the best places to get a cheeseburger, etc.
This will guide you through an exercise to prepare a well-rounded, engaging, AND business-building content strategy quickly and easily
It will also encourage you to have FUN with your social media strategy because you can post about things that excite you - not just real estate
When you first clarify the GOALS of your social media content, you’ll be able to easily create content that actually serves a PURPOSE in your business. Stop getting distracted by shiny objects in your marketing, or trying to go viral - this is not the point of your social media content. The most important thing is that your social media is…SOCIAL! 🤗 It's time to get engaged and engage others. In order to do this at a high level, you need a SYSTEM to stay CONSISTENT (this is the hill I will die on!).

Who the heck are we, anyway!? In this episode, meet Ally & Zach - Realtors from Madison, WI who are passionate about building a business they love, and creating systems to make their biz run seamlessly.
First, we’ll talk about clarifying your customer journey, and why you should care about it. Our 4-part customer journey starts with Phase 0 - attracting an audience. The rest is as follows:
👉 PHASE #1 : When a buyer/seller officially becomes a lead in your database
👉 PHASE #2 : When a buyer/seller has met with you for a buyer or listing consultation
👉 PHASE #3 : When a client has a signed contract
👉 PHASE #4 : Closing and after
From there, we discuss the ways we can automate repetitive tasks throughout each phase. Our 3 examples from this episode are:
✅ Buyer/Seller Questionnaires before your consultations (be sure to grab my questionnaire templates HERE)
✅ Zapier to connect all your apps and help you automate (check them out HERE)
✅ Follow-Up System (in this episode, we talk about “Coming Soon” texts)
