Modern Agent Marketing Girls — Social Media Marketing and Personal Branding for Real Estate Agents

75. Content Ideas for Real Estate Agents who want to Stand Out

Whenever I’m scrolling Instagram, and I come across a post that stops my scroll, I always pause and ask myself why. And that’s exactly what today’s episode is all about! It's just me, Kayla, today, and I'm taking you inside our May Club meeting, where I walked members through some of the most scroll-stopping content I've been finding in the wild and how to make it work for their own marketing. I like to call this skill “marketing girl eyes,” that instinct for spotting a good idea and asking yourself how you can put your own twist on it. Kayla discusses: ♡ How to look at any piece of content and ask, "how can I make this work for me?" ♡ Your camera roll is already full of personal brand gold ♡ What a lifestyle blogger, a rom-com author, and a running account can teach you about real estate marketing ♡ The "hold something up" strategy that stops the scroll ♡ Journey-style content creates a following — Follow us on Instagram: ♡ Podcast: @modernagentmarketinggirls [https://www.instagram.com/modernagentmarketinggirls/] ♡ Chelsea Petersen: @hichelseapetersen [https://www.instagram.com/hichelseapetersen/] ♡ Kayla Fox: @yourhomegirlkayla [https://www.instagram.com/yourhomegirlkayla/] — — Mentioned in this episode: ♡ Book: Draw to Win: A Crash Course on How to Lead, Sell, and Innovate With Your Visual Mind [https://www.amazon.com/Draw-Win-Course-Innovate-Visual/dp/0399562990] by Dan Roam ♡ Instagram posts mentioned during the call: @elasmarketingservices [https://www.instagram.com/p/DU86y4hD6Mk/?img_index=1], @susividal [https://www.instagram.com/p/DXF6V6nCWaH/], @the.daily.balance [https://www.instagram.com/p/DXCmRnNEQR8/?img_index=2], @dr.rileycluck [https://www.instagram.com/reels/DWcEKxPEb9N/], @pearlrb [https://www.instagram.com/p/DT-QH_0DBJD/?img_index=1], @alanawinchester.photography [https://www.instagram.com/p/DT-QH_0DBJD/?img_index=1], @ugcshubhii [https://www.instagram.com/p/DU5KeZ1D15X/], @ariannecamila [https://www.instagram.com/p/DVbW8LbDUGP/], @amyporterfield [https://www.instagram.com/p/DXr9fysDBCu/] ♡ Instagram accounts worth noting: @noavko [https://www.instagram.com/noavko?igsh=ZmJxN2UwZnV5Zjh5], @lisahoogendoorn [https://www.instagram.com/lisahoogendoorn/], @cariwilliamson [https://www.instagram.com/cariwilliamson/], @authorsarahadams [https://www.instagram.com/authorsarahadams/], @miasrunningagain [https://www.instagram.com/miasrunningagain/] — Subscribe to this show to stay up to date and get the latest episodes!

74. What Nobody Tells You About Building Momentum in Real Estate

Did you know that planes use the most fuel of the entire flight right before takeoff? Before they're even in the air, before they've gone anywhere, that's when they need the most energy. Chelsea, of course, had to link this fact to marketing: Most agents give up before they ever get off the ground because the results in the beginning are invisible. You're burning all this fuel and you can't even see it happening. And that's exactly when most people decide to try something else, pivot, or just "see what happens" with a different approach. In this episode, we're talking about the difference between being committed and being curious, why momentum is way more fragile than it feels, and what it actually looks like to go all in on your brand, even when nothing seems to be working yet. The girls discuss: ♡ The difference between being curious and being committed, and why it matters more than strategy ♡ Momentum is more fragile than you think ♡ Common objections agents have about joining Modern Agent ♡ Why the results of building your brand are invisible at first — Follow us on Instagram: ♡ Podcast: @modernagentmarketinggirls [https://www.instagram.com/modernagentmarketinggirls/] ♡ Chelsea Petersen: @hichelseapetersen [https://www.instagram.com/hichelseapetersen/] ♡ Kayla Fox: @yourhomegirlkayla [https://www.instagram.com/yourhomegirlkayla/] — Subscribe to this show to stay up-to-date and get the latest episodes!

73. Claude, Templates, and What the Future of Your Real Estate Biz Depends On

Kayla recently took an AI course from the top AI education company in the world, and you want to know what the very first thing their founder said was? You need a personal brand. Not kidding. And she has felt that fire in her bones, because it is so validating to know that the stake in the ground Chelsea and Kayla have always planted, personal brand first, everything else second, is exactly right. Today Kayla is talking about AI, the sea of sameness swallowing up social media, why "very good" content is actually killing your growth, and what it actually looks like to build something that lasts. Because you know what gets the likes and the saves and the shares, but marketing girls know that's not what's going to change your life. Your personal brand will, and Kayla wants to show you why! I discuss: ♡ Why AI tools and prompts only work when they're built on a personal brand foundation ♡ What a flower bulb and a too-big pot taught me about room to grow ♡ The difference between "very good" content and remarkable content ♡ Why Chelsea and I will always choose the harder road over the shortcut ♡ What Camp Modern Agent is, who it's for, and why you should bring a friend — Follow us on Instagram: ♡ Podcast: @modernagentmarketinggirls [https://www.instagram.com/modernagentmarketinggirls/] ♡ Chelsea Petersen: @hichelseapetersen [https://www.instagram.com/hichelseapetersen/] ♡ Kayla Fox: @yourhomegirlkayla [https://www.instagram.com/yourhomegirlkayla/] — Subscribe to this show to stay up-to-date and get the latest episodes!

71. How Real Estate Mamas Build Brands AND Legacies

Happy Mother's Day from the Marketing Girls! We wanted to do something a little different this week. Instead of hearing from just the two of us, we handed the mic to some of the incredible moms inside Modern Agent Social Club.
