When I registered as a Platinum ticket holder to attend RainCamp Dallas this past Tuesdy, I tried to imagine all the things I would learn, the people I would finally "meet" and valuable tools I could implement into my business to give it the boost it needed...
- I pictured meeting Loreena Yeo, Jason Crouch, Debe Maxwell and Donna Harris to name just a few (done!).
- I pictured learning from two of the most forward thinking men in the real estate industry - Bob Stewart and Brad Andersohn (done!).
- I pictured myself typing away feverishly on my laptop, following along with each speaker using the Wi-Fi promised the Platinum Ticket Holders (this was the only thing that didn't happen).
However, I never in a million years pictured myself walking away a movie producer.
So how and why did this come to be?
It all happened during one of Brad's talks about valuable FREE websites that we could implement into our business. Information that previously had not even been shared! I was pumped! So I opened up Microsoft Word (I guess having a laptop came in handy for at least THIS purpose) and ended up leaving with 7 pages of notes worth their weight in gold.
I must have written down a hundred different websites that I could take advantage of. A few I starred, indicating I should pay attention to this one first once I got home and digested the information. But one intrigued me more than the others. What is it?
Xtranormal.com allows users to create video, for free, by just typing the action and words that you want to happen. I immediately bolded, highlighted and starred this one. Guess it's the creative part of me that fell in love with this little product. It was unique. It was different. I wanted to implement it immediately.
For those of you who weren't able to attend Raincamp Dallas, or any of the other Raincamps this year, I am going to attempt to go through many of the mentioned websites to see how to incorporate it into a real estate business. At first glance, making a "movie" like the one below may not have seemed like a way to generate business. But, we learned that in order to make it, you've got to think outside of the traditional box.
Who knows...maybe this will go viral and take off so that millions view it. Do you think it will have an impact on my business then?
Or maybe only 25 people view it here on ActiveRain and that's where it stops. I guess I won't know until I try. And try I did.
So, with that Active Rain, I give you my first movie from Kim Daugherty productions...
...and it's all about the real estate market in 2006. Yes, no-doc loans, underqualified buyers and greedy real estate agents.
Enjoy Part 1 - Part 2 is coming soon to a blog near you...
