We typically talk about using video as a tool to generate attention and develop brand recognition. As a strategy for building relationships and staying in front of your sphere. But Karin Carr argues that if you’re smart about optimizing content, video can also be an effective lead generation tool. In fact, she gets more than 70% of her business from YouTube because she ranks at the top for key search terms.
Karin is the founder of YouTube for Agents, a platform where she teaches real estate professionals how to dominate their local market with video.
