482 - Building a Business: Why Content Marketing Leaves Social Media in the Dust

Kyle Handy has created the #1 agent-owned real estate blog, and in this episode, he talks about his success in producing content and blogging and why they surpass posting to social media as a business-growth strategy. He's sharing specific SEO advice, the best platforms for distributing value and building trust, and his recommendations for topics that even a novice blogger or new real estate agent can knock out of the park. When you listen, you'll discover the valuable SEO strategy that catapulted Kyle's rankings on Google, a reliable source of popular blog topics that so many agents routinely fail to consider, and why videos, podcasts, and blogging provide continuous value that posting to social media simply cannot—and never will—deliver.
