News Corp Buying Realtor Dot Com – What This Means for You

Posted on by

As a consumer, you probably don’t bother keeping up to date with Real Estate news or acquisitions of big name real estate advertising companies, but this one, along with the pending Zillow and Trulia merger, is going to affect the consumer, no matter which way you slice it. News Corp, a company that owns big name media outlets all throughout the world, including Dow Jones & Company, as well as the Fox Entertainment Group is purchasing Move Inc., the company that runs realtor.com. This acquisition will revitalize how consumers search for homes on the Internet.

Recently, third-party websites such as Zillow and Trulia, have become the punching bags of regional, national, and local real estate brokerages. Brokerages have been pulling their listings left and right from these third party websites, citing inaccuracies in listing data and the syndication techniques as reasons behind ending the relationship. Zillow, being the number 1 real estate website (in traffic) still reigns supreme, and Trulia being acquired by Zillow means the companies will continue to be powerhouses in the market, pooling resources while keeping separate web entities to give consumers more options when searching for their next home.

You may ask, “why are all the real estate brokerages moving away from Zillow and Trulia?”. The answer is, they are tired of inaccurate listing data, and paying to get the leads from their own listings. Unfortunately, since the birth of these real estate search powerhouses, consumers have flocked to the websites to harness the ability of looking at homes on the market throughout the country in one place. The problem for the consumer is, once on the website, you really don’t know if you are looking at accurate data, which causes big problems for customers and brokers alike. Let’s say you are searching Zillow, and find a home you fall in love with. The pictures are immaculate, the floor plan looks supreme, and the neighborhood is in the best school district in your area. You look to the right, pick an agent, and click to contact with them. They call you back after receiving your information, just to tell you that the home you fell in love with, for a price that seemed almost to good to be true, sold 6 months ago, and is not on the market. This is a big problem, as it not only causes delays in the home buying process for the consumer, but it also takes time away from the agent who is focusing on getting homes sold.

The acquisition of Move Inc to New Corp will, hopefully, revitalize the trusted resource for searching homes on a third party website. The way that realtor.com syndicates is directly from the MLS, which means that the data seen by agents in the area, is available on Realtor.com to consumers to freely search.

There still is no comparison of third-party websites to a brokers personal website, as iDX supported broker websites are direct feeds from the MLS, with the most up to date local listings. You can always trust a brokers website.

Legitimate Ways to Make Money Online

Posted on by

Are there legitimate ways to make money online? The answer is simply yes. However there are many different avenues in which to pursue an online home based business. The way I recommend getting started is affiliate marketing.

So what exactly is affiliate marketing you may ask? Well the basic definition is performance based marketing in which a business rewards affiliates for each buying customer brought about by the affiliates own marketing efforts. The best way to describe it is to think of yourself as a Salesperson (affiliate) for a company (merchant). When you make a sale for that company they pay you a commission. The great part of affiliate marketing is that all your marketing is done online. You don’t have to meet with people or make phone calls, you are simply directly people on the internet to your merchant’s site, and when they buy something the merchant pays you.

Affiliate marketing works for the merchant and the affiliate. To the merchant, they gain free advertising to a large market, which increases their chances for more sales. The more affiliates they have, the more sales they can expect. By getting affiliates to market their products and services, they save time, effort, and money in looking for possible markets and customers. When a potential customer clicks on the link in the affiliate’s website and purchases the product, or recommends it to others potential customers, the merchant increases his chances of making more sales. Also, the affiliate marketer benefits from each customer who clicks on the link in their website and who actually purchases the product or service provided by the merchant. The affiliate gets a commission per sale, which can be a fixed percentage or fixed amount.

If you decide you want to become an affiliate marketer and are ready to start your own home based online business, I recommend the following three steps to get started. First, is to find a particular niche you are interested in or passionate about. By focusing on a specific area you know well will help you do your best with much less effort. It will also help you add a personal touch to your website, and give your visitors an impression that you are an expert in your field. In this way, you gain their trust and eventually encourage them to buy the products you are promoting.

Second, is to find good paying products or services related to your interest and create a website. The key here is, be wise enough to choose the right one.

Thirdly, now that you have decided on the product or service you want to promote, you now need to create a web site with a good domain name and get a reliable hosting provider to host your website.

Keep in mind, there is no quick and easy path towards success. Affiliate marketing may seem very easy due to numerous encouraging testimonies online, but it entails great deal of hard work and persistence. Having brought you back to reality now, I want to be clear “YES YOU CAN MAKE MONEY ONLINE.” However, it is hard, but not difficult. What I mean by this is, there is a basic formula and if you follow it you can create a successful online business. BUT, there is a lot to learn. I’m not kidding; it is like going to college all over again. Most people fail to make money online because once they see all they have to learn and do, they are simply not willing to put in the effort to work that hard to educate themselves. As long as you are willing to learn, then you can learn it. Also, you must realize this is a business and it will take your time to run a business, so if you are unwilling to dedicate your time to create and run a business, then an online business, or any business for that matter, is not for you. However, if you are willing to educate yourself and work hard, and want to be able to work from the comfort of your home then affiliate marketing may be for you. The more you put into it, the more you will get out of it, just like everything else in life. Be creative, be smart, and patient and you can achieve your goals.

To your online success.
