Starting now while demand is high can jump start this evergreen business - making it easier to grow it as the years go by.
Speaking of growing, following is one free way to market your foreclosure cleanup business in 2010 that can give you an edge over the competition.
Harness the Power of Twitter to Get More Foreclosure Clean Up Jobs
Did you know that 5,000 to 10,000 new people join Twitter each day? It's true. That's a lot of eyeballs reading 140-character messages (the maximum length of a tweet). Twitter is free to join and as the messages are so short, it literally takes seconds to grow your business using it.
A. When you join, actively follow businesses and people who can give you business. These would be realtors, property preservation companies, mortgage brokers, bankers, junk and trash hauling companies, moving companies, lawn care companies, general contractors, etc.
When you follow someone on Twitter, you have a good chance of them following you back. After all, most people on Twitter want to grow their followers - and this is the easiest, quickest way to do.
B. Tweet interesting, informative content. Most people just promote, promote, promote their business. This is not a good way to build a following. Twitter is a social networking site - the emphasis being on the word "social."
When you provide informative content, you show that you actually care about helping others to grow their business. Do this on a continual basis, and you become a go-to source for many. They'll look forward to your tweets and will retweet them, which brings us to the next way to use Twitter to grow your foreclosure cleaning business . . .
C. Retweet the content of others. As mentioned above, most people spend so much time promoting their own agenda. They never retweet content from others. This is selfish - and it will get you nowhere fast.
Again, twitter is about networking, socializing and sharing. It's not a billboard for your business.
How to Set Up a Twitter Campaign to Get More Foreclosure Cleaning Jobs
Use automated tools like TwitterFeed (there are tons of others like this) to schedule a certain number of tweets per day.
For example, if you're strategically following industry professionals as suggested in Tip A above, you can send out a tweet a day for each niche.
What would you tweet? Find interesting industry articles or write your own. For example, if you were tweeting to realtors, there are tons of interesting articles on industry-leading site like the National Association of Realtors that you could tweet out.
By harnessing the power of Twitter, you can start to get more foreclosure cleaning jobs - and it's free.
