Why should I publish?
"Be first, fast, and frequent in your communication with consumers... delivering value and information many months in advance of an expected transaction."
~ Blanche Evans in Realty Times
Yes, the printed word costs a lot, but it's still one of the best means of targeting your farm on a regular basis. You successfully "brand" yourself every time a reader sees your face and name in print.
The best time to create a positive impression in the mind of the buying and selling public is when they do not need your services - when their defenses are not raised. They are impressionable as they read your column and form a lasting and favorable opinion of you.
Written into each article is the subtle, effective, yet unspoken message that the best way to buy or sell real estate is through a professional. When the time arrives for a purchase or a listing, readers will call the one person they trust and believe most likely to provide the best real estate service - you!
Remember: Ghost Writers guarantees you exclusive rights, so that no other agent can enjoy the exposure from publishing these editorials!
Where do I begin?
Once you get started, there's very little to do. Simply contact your newspaper and explain your plans. Ask for a display ad price based on using from 8 to 12 column inches of space. This allows room for your photo, name, masthead or title, and even a short closing message in italics to encourage readers to contact you.
Most papers will give you a contract rate, once they know you'll be running your column on a regular basis. The newspaper will typeset and publish a new article for each insertion, on the publishing schedule you have established.
Remember: You don't have to publish these articles in a local paper - Ghost Writers can grant you rights to publish in your own personal or office newsletter, or on your website!
