Teaching WordPress for Real Estate at Beverly Hills Association of REALTORS® (BHAOR)

On January 19th, I’m joining Jerel Taylor from American Trust Escrow to teach a course on using the WordPress blogging platform as an effective real estate marketing tool. We’ll cover the basics of how to set up a WordPress blog, creating reader-focused content, and design “Best Practices” for effective lead conversion. It’s an hour-and-a-half interactive session where we’ll discuss things like:

  • Keyword research and tips for picking a domain name,
  • How to install and customize WordPress (I recommend the StudioPress AgentPress Child Theme),
  • How to create SEO optimized community landing pages,
  • How to create Featured Listing pages (using the free WordPress Property Plugin)

…and lastly, as you all know, I work for Diverse Solutions, Inc. so we’ll be talking about adding MLS listings to your blog via a full fledged map search and via our WordPress IDX plugin. In case you didn’t already know, through a partnership between Diverse Solutions and SoCalMLS, dsSearchAgent Lite is offered FREE to ALL SoCalMLS members, in addition to a discounted dsSearchAgent Pro Rate.

Who is this for? This session is for anyone who is…

  • …new to WordPress and wants to learn how to use it as an effective marketing tool,
  • …has been blogging for a while but isn’t getting the traffic/results that they expected,
  • …interested in learning how to do basic WordPress design/customizations,
  • …interested in building a multi-author blog for a brokerage,
  • …interested in transfering/moving from a static site design to one designed on WordPress

We’ll review a lot of sample designs from other prominent real estate bloggers and we’ll discuss Best Practices for implementing your own design.

Already have a solid design? No problem. We’re going to be covering content strategies too. So if you’re interested in learning, come on by…

    This is going to be a great session Ricardo! My best advice is to be consistent. If you decide that starting a blog is for you, set a schedule for posting and stick to it!
