There are several things that you could do to allow your real estate website to make money for you. One of the most popular things we have seen people do is to rent out banner space our add a pop up to come up when the potential client goes to your site. Another thing you can do it to put up links to mortgage lenders and/or banks in your area.
Renting out the banner space is easy you just have to find someone who is willing to fork over that cash every so often so you can keep that advertisment up there. Some places you might want to consider renting that advertising space out to are landscapers, painters, furniture stores. Basically anything that can have some affiliation with buying or selling a home would work. This could be a great business move for you you just could let your website make money for you as it just sits there and grabs leads for you as well.
Now lets think for a minute. You have just put up your real estate website, and it is doing pretty well. You have hit a few leads and the website has already paid for itself after that first sale. Now you realize that a lot of the buyers you see come through your real estate website have not even spoken to a mortgage lender yet but they are still looking for a home to purchase. You know one of your good friends just so happens to run a mortgage company and he cuts you referral checks for every person you send his way. Well why not set him up with a link to his company website from your real estate website. Everybody that clicks on that link could be a potential customer for him which could turn into referral checks for you. And it does not have to stop with mortgage companies, you can have links to lawyers, banks, contractors , pretty much whoever you think of that can cut you a check for bringing them business.
You can also link exchange with these affiliates. A link exchange is just what it means, you give them a link on your real estate website, and they will give a link to your website from their business page. Think about someone who is looking to fix up there house so they can put it on the market to sell in a few months. The contact a local contractor by looking at the contractor’s website. When they get to the site they see a link for local Realtors. They click the link and it takes them to your real estate website. Right there is free money, all you had to do was network with your local businesses. Which is something a good Realtor already does.
