Most agents think marketing has gotten harder, that technology, AI, and algorithms have made everything too complicated. But the truth is, it's never been easier to be a marketer and to actually get results. You can create video content without showing your face. You can automate your emails, SMS, and social posts in minutes. You can turn one idea into ten pieces of content that generate leads while you sleep. Yet most agents still struggle to grow; not because the tools are hard, but because they're doing what everyone else is doing… or worse, doing the bare minimum. In today's market, average doesn't convert. The agents winning right now aren't the ones spending the most money; they're the ones showing up consistently, leveraging automation, and using AI to amplify their expertise instead of hiding behind excuses. How can you turn one real estate deal into multiple streams of income? How do agents embrace tech? That's what I'm unpacking on Constant Contact's Be a Marketer podcast, where I was featured as a guest. Along with co-hosts Dave Charest, Stephanie Alonso, I break down why most agents misunderstand marketing, how to simplify your systems, and what it takes to build a business that compounds while you're off the clock. Things You'll Learn In This Episode The no excuse zone mindset Success doesn't come from talent or timing; it comes from eliminating excuses. How do you rewire your habits to operate like an entrepreneur, not an employee? Consistency over charisma The most profitable agents aren't the flashiest; they're the most consistent. What boring, daily habits separate six-figure producers from struggling agents? Video is the ultimate multiplier Video isn't optional; it's the only form of content that can be repurposed into text, audio, and leads. How can you use AI and automation to make video your most scalable marketing tool? Leads, loyalty, and longevity New agents often wait for brokers to hand them leads. How can CRMs, landing pages, and follow-ups turn your list into a self-sustaining income engine?
