Florida REALTORS Association 2011 Winter MeetingsDoug Devitre
You couldn’t ask for a better place to be in January other than Orlando, Florida, right? Seems as if I bring the bad weather with me wherever I go. The Florida REALTORS® held their Winter 2011 Meetings at the Renaissance Sea World hotel and was the first time I had the chance to meet Shamu. Although I wasn’t able to get his autograph he did let me take a picture with him and my friend Janet.
I was asked to present the Social Media Power Hour and ironically was 90 minutes. I guess they know I have so much material they decided to give me an extra 30. We still went over time, and nobody wanted to leave.
At a recent leadership retreat for CRS (Council of Residential Specialists), we discussed many ways to offer new services, increase attendance at meetings, and encourage members to pay their dues.

National Association of REALTORS REALTOR Magazine Webinar Using Social MediaDoug Devitre
Doug Devitre is presenting on the National Association of REALTORS REALTOR Magazine Webinar Using Social Media. We will discuss overall strategy and how to use the right content, tools, and how they get distributed using no money and limited time.
This presentation is about how to increase your blog's online visibility with search engine optimization and social media optimization, increase inbound links and subscribers, and how to convert those readers into customers.
It goes by many names: online marketing; internet marketing; web marketing...and more. It really doesn’t matter what it’s called – all you really need to know is there are many ways your business can benefit from using the internet and email to find more customers...and keep up with your competitors already marketing online!
But where to start? And how to do it well?
If you’re new to internet marketing, or you’ve had a go and wondered why it doesn’t seem to be working yet, this presentation could be for you.
We’ll look at social media, websites, blogging, email marketing and SEO. We’ll start with the basics and then look at ways to create valuable and engaging content to attract new customers, getting the most out of your website if you have one, how to make it look professional, and lots of tips to help you put it all into practice.
Organizations are messy places: politics thwart progress, departmental squabbles are status quo, and decision-making often takes months. This chaos makes its way right to our websites, filling them with crap users don't want, need, or sometimes even understand. We’re practicing content strategy now, so what gives? Why are we still designing around all this clutter and corporate-speak? Because strategy documents and style rules alone won’t make people actually produce content that meets users’ needs and aligns with our designs. In this talk, you’ll hear what will: embracing (okay, tolerating) content chaos, instead of anguishing over imperfections. You'll learn strategic approaches for defining meaningful content problems in your organisation—and solving them one at a time.

Tools for Entrepreneurs: Create. Collaborate. Communicate.Sara Rosso
I created this presentation for entrepreneurs who need online tools to make their ideas happen (I gave it earlier this year at the Professional Women's Association in Milan).
The presentation "Tools for Entrepreneurs: Create. Collaborate. Communicate." started out as a way to explain very technical things to non-technical people, but I quickly realized that most people when approaching technology get intimidated by the "What's DNS? Do I need a dedicated server?" kind of questions and therefore feel they can't understand technology.
I feel that this technology intimidation is really due to the fact that they don't really own their idea, and better understanding it will guide any decisions they have to make with their idea moving forward.
So I focus on how to further refine your idea so you can move it forward, even with help, by having a better mastery over what you need and what your users need. I also cover some techniques and tools for collaborating with developers, external consultants, and other remote workers. Then, I briefly touch on communication strategies online and how your site won't be the only place communication happens but it should be the digital hub with the most useful and authoritative information about your company, and how you can develop a communication strategy that spans several types of networks.
The appendix includes some open source software alternatives for growing a business on a bootstrap budget.

What They Dont Teach You in KindergartenDoug Devitre
If a six-year-old can create high-quality training content and host engaging virtual sessions with their online community, you can too. It doesn’t have to cost a fortune. It doesn’t take years to learn. And it doesn’t take an army inside your cross-functional team to get it right the first time. All you need is a singular focus on the quality of the video feed you are inputting into Zoom, Teams, or recording for training modules. The rest seems to fall in place. This session will compare low-cost alternatives to improve your virtual delivery participant experience, reduce the time to task when creating video-based content, and have fun in the process no matter how many years you have had in the business.
Application on the Job:
Implement a virtual camera to create better video-based training content for virtual or asynchronous delivery.

We endure gratification for every experience we offer, created to share something meaningful. It may not resonate with the majority, but that makes us a class apart.

Investing In The US As A Canadian… And How To Do It RIGHT!! (feat. Erwin Szet...Volition Properties
=== Investing In The US As A Canadian… And How To Do It RIGHT!! (feat. Erwin Szeto) ===
Ever been curious about Real Estate Investing in the US?? At Volition, for the past 14 years, we have been focused on helping investors invest in over $250M of real estate and generate $100M of wealth in the Toronto market, but we are always open to learning more about other business models and learning from other investors.
The US has always been an intriguing market to invest in. But the US is a big place… if you’re interested in investing in the US, you probably have a lot of questions, like:
☑️ Specifically WHERE should you invest?
☑️ What are the best markets to invest in and why?
☑️ How much are property prices there?
☑️ What are the returns like?
☑️ What is cashflow like?
☑️ Compared to investing in Toronto or other cities in Ontario, what are the benefits / tradeoffs?
☑️ What ownership structure should I use?
☑️ What are the tax implications?
☑️ Can I get financing?
☑️ What are tenants like?
Enter Erwin Szeto, a longtime friend of Volition. Since 2005, Erwin Szeto and his team have navigated the challenging landscape of being landlords in Ontario. Now, they are shifting their focus and guiding their clients' investments toward the more landlord-friendly environment of the USA. This decision comes after assisting Canadian clients in transacting over $440,000,000 in income properties. Faced with issues like affordability constraints, tenant-friendly laws, rent control, and rental licensing in Canada, Erwin sees a clear opportunity in the U.S. Here, there is a significant influx of investments leading to the creation of high-paying manufacturing jobs. Erwin and his clients are poised to capitalize on these opportunities where landlord rights are stronger and there is no rent control.
To facilitate this transition, Erwin has partnered with and become a client of SHARE, a one-stop-shop U.S. Asset Manager. Founded by Canadians for Canadians, SHARE enables as passive an ownership experience as possible for landlords in the U.S., while still maintaining direct, 100% ownership.
Erwin is “Making Real Estate Investing Great Again”!!

Please read Appendix G Photos for Social Media before beginning this module
Flickr is one of the most popular social networking site for sharing photos online. It works with many of the other social media sites like WordPress, Facebook, Feedburner, and has the RSS feature to make photos appear on any website of your choice.
There are many different ways to use Flickr included below but not limited to the following:
Create profile that people can get to know you and your style of photos that you upload online.
Upload photos into one convenient online location.
Add titles, tags and descriptions so that photos can be found quicker online.
Batch and organize photos into groups quickly.
Create photo sets or albums to share with others.
Share photos with other social media sites using RSS feed for photos sets.
Create your online profile in minutes by visiting www.Flickr.com and entering your username and password. Follow the steps as indicated in Creating Online Social Profiles located in Appendix A.
Once you have created a profile you will want to see the user ID that Flickr has assigned to you.
For example if your profile link is http://www.flickr.com/photos/28116669@N03/ then your Flickr ID is 28116669. You will need this number to add Flickr to some of your other online social networking profiles.
To upload photos to your Flickr profile you follow these steps:
Start from the home page
Click upload photos on the right side of the page
A list of steps will now be displayed
Click under step 1 Choose Photos
A window will pop open under My Documents to browse for pictures to upload to Flickr. You may select as many as you like but the maximum size of photos one can upload is 100MB per month unless you want to pay a monthly fee for more storage.
Once the photos have been selected choose the privacy settings and select Upload Photos
At the bottom of the screen a check mark will appear and to the right click on the link Add a Description
Each photo can have up to 3 different ways to search for photos online. The more detail and time added to these photos the faster that they will appear in the Flickr search.
Titles are retrieved automatically from the name of the photo file. The consist of key words that identify where the picture was taken, who is in the photo, and what is happening in the photo.
Descriptions are a few sentences that describe the picture in detail.
Tags are the key words that help the picture become found quicker in internet searches.
If you want to maximize the search engine optimization of the photos on Flickr, make sure that the title in in the tags and in the first few lines of the description. This is true for other sites like YouTube and Slideshare.
The Photostream shows all of your recent photos in the middle and the photo sets on the right hand side. This is the site that you want to direct people to instead of your profile page. Copy the URL at the top of the screen from the Photostream page and use this in your email marketing. At the bottom of the Photostream there is a link for others to subscribe to receive your photos as you upload them to your website. Use this feed also to promote your photos among other online social profiles.
Share videos with the world.&#xA0; Create your own television channel for FREE with a username, password, and email address.&#xA0; Add video tours of neighborhoods, listings, and attractions.&#xA0; Produce videos that generate interest that members will want to subscribe to on a regular basis.&#xA0; These may include live conferences, testimonials from members, or classroom instruction.
Create a YouTube profile with a username and password.
Each YouTube user has their own television like channel that can be personalized to showcase your own videos and those of others. For example the URL will look like http://www.youtube.com/MoveWithDoug. Each channel
Channel info &#x2013; Name the title of your videos that will appear on your page. The example here is Doug Devitre&#x2019;s videos. Also, add a brief description that you can pull from the Template in Appendix A to complete this section. Add tags or keywords that will quickly identify your channel if people were going to search YouTube by channel. Allow everyone to comment as long as they have approval to display comments
Channel design &#x2013; Customize a color theme, add playlists, and select the videos that you want to appear on your home page. You can also upload an image to serve as the background instead of choosing a default or available colors.
Organize videos &#x2013; YouTube gives you the ability to choose up to 9 videos to be displayed on your home page. Here set favorite videos to stay and leave a few spaces blank for other videos. Blank spots will automatically populate any new video to the channel&#x2019;s home page.
Performer info &#x2013; Add additional resume like information to this section. Keep this short and simple.
You must be logged into your account to upload videos. Videos have a maximum time limit of 10 minutes and no more than 1GB of file space.
Upload videos to your account in a few simple steps:
Choose upload on the upper right side of the screen.
Choose browser for video. This is similar to inserting a picture into the MLS. Note that it is best to create a folder in My Documents called My Videos if none exists. Select the video and press OK.
Choose upload video
While the video is loading add additional information about the video.
Title must clearly identify the purpose of the video and include key words when people search for the video.
Write a description that defines the purpose of the video and why others should watch it.
Add tags or keywords to each video that define the purpose of the video
Note the tags should include key words from the title and first few lines in the description. This will help the videos rankings in the search of videos similar to these key words.
Once the videos have been uploaded to YouTube then each video will contain two different windows to share your videos with the world.
URL &#x2013; Each video automatically creates its own link that can be included in email marketing blogs or websites. Once the link is clicked on then a new browser will open and will play the video while including other related videos to preview on the side. Click on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XneiT8JM85Q as an example. This is the easiest way to share videos but has its own limitations.
After the video is played other videos with similar titles and keywords will show afterwards distracting or confusing the viewer.
On the right side of the screen others can see related videos with similar titles and keywords will show afterwards distracting or confusing the viewer.
Some YouTube channels have a customized background from a royalty free photo, a picture of the person, or an image that was created using a graphic design program. Also, one can adjust the color of the text, background color, link color, transparency of the boxes, etc. To create your own customized background please follow these steps:
Login to your YouTube account
Choose yellow Edit Channel
Choose the second option, Channel Design
Browse for the Advanced Design Customization
Choose next to Background Image, select Browse
Select the photo you want to use as the background for your YouTube Channel
Select OK
Choose whether you want the image to repeat in the background
Choose the transparency level of how the text and boxes will appear over the background image.
At the bottom of the screen choose update channel
Playlists are a series of videos to play in the order that you choose on your profile page. Think of playlists like creating a CD of your favorite music to play songs in the order you want. Once you have established some playlists then you can add the chosen videos to play in your blog or website in what&#x2019;s called a Custom YouTube Player instead of adding videos individually.
Adding videos one by one onto a page result in a long string of videos which the person has to click on individually. Instead add multiple videos into your website or blog by using a Custom Video Player in YouTube.
There are 3 options to select which videos will appear in your Custom Video Player
Chosen Favorites
Created a Playlist
All of My Videos
Here is how to add the custom video player into your website:
At the top of the screen underneath your profile name click the dropdown arrow to the right, scroll down, and choose more&#x2026;

A Presentation Pack is a series of slideshow presentations or marked as My Favorite slideshows that can be embedded into a blog or a website.
To embed a Slideshow Presentation Pack into your website or blog here are the steps:
On the home page on the right side of the screen click on the widgets link.
Next, you will be able to create the widget using either My Slideshows or My Favorite Slideshows under where it says Customize your Presentation Pack.
At the bottom give your widget a title that represents who you are and how you want people to remember these presentations.
At the bottom of the screen will display how the Presentation Pack will be viewed depending on your preferences.
To the right of the Customize your Presentation Pack is the HTML source code that you will want to be able to copy and paste into your blog or website.
Share documents online without having to contact your website provider using a service called Box.net. Visit www.Box.net and create a profile with a username and password. This is a free application unless you start uploading several documents and want additional options to share and collaborate on documents.
You can start uploading documents immediately. These can include and not limited to the following:
.pdf (portable file document)
.doc or .docx (Microsoft Word)
.xls or .xlsx (Microsoft Excel)
.ppt. or pptx (Microsoft PowerPoint)
.jpg, .jpeg, .gif or any other type of picture files
Once the files are uploaded they can be managed into folders. Each folder can be share documents online through email, blogs, or websites.
Once each file is uploaded it can be organized into folders which help you find files quicker and share them with others. Create and add new folders like you would with paper files at your desk. Box.net can serve as an additional backup to the documents you need away from your computer and be able to download them from anywhere with an internet connection. To the right of each file there are three options: actions, shared, and comments.
In the actions menu you can:
Download the file
Upload a new version of the file
Rename the file
On the shared menu you can:
Share file by email
Share file by creating a hyperlink. For an example open this document http://www.box.net/shared/xungdrk721
Other services like password protecting files, sharing large folders, and mobile settings are available for an additional fee.
In order to make your files accessible on your website or blog you will want to create a widget from Box.net that your can embed using the HTML source code. This requires you to follow the same directions as Embed HTML Source Code into Blog but I recommend inserting this widget into one of the columns that appear on your blog. Check with your blog software to see how to embed widgets in the blog so that every page displays the Box.net information.
Notice that the HTML source code contains the characters width="460" height="345&#x201C;. This shows how tall or wide the widget will be. Adjust the numbers carefully in order to make the Box.net widget fit the right size exactly in your blog.
If you can copy and paste then you can embed this widget into your blog or website.
