I Own My Home Turf – Own Yours Too!
Atlanta is my home turf. I sell real estate for a living. Early on, I realized that the internet was the way of the future for generating leads and therefore sales so I bought a website with a great company.
As my internet marketing skills improved, I learned about WordPress and began using it to make single property websites and virtual tours. WordPress is easy to use, has a great content management system (CMS), and WordPress sites tend to rank well for lots of other reasons – all great reasons to use it. It’s also free and open source with more support than you can imagine. So this site is a give back.
What is HomeTurfMedia?
It’s my turn to give back. I’ll share on the blog what I know about WordPress and focus particularly on real estate, plugins, what works, what doesn’t, etc. Basically, I’ll give away what I’ve learned through trial and error, reading, testing and lots of late nights with no sleep so that it might be easier for you.
I’ll also take help, tips and other ideas I haven’t thought of or discussed here. I certainly don’t know everything – I am not an expert.
What About the ‘Media’ Part?
Well, the Internet IS digital media and it is what has allowed me to own mine. Don’t sit on the sidelines. Get yours too!
Real Estate and WordPress
WordPress can go a long way to help you own your home turf and I hope that you will have some takeaways after spending some time here.
Free WordPress Themes for Real Estate
I want you to own your own turf too. Over the last few years, I’ve created a bunch of themes. Many weren’t very good, but all of them are simple. There are lots of places where you can go to get neat framework with built-in this and that with lots of great technology. Great! Those are fantastic, but overkill I think – especially if you are just getting started. Everything I’ll put up here will be uber easy to set up and use. They will have pages, a blog and a “wide” page so you can frame in an IDX. You could also take these themes to an IDX vendor and they couldn’t probably integrate them for you.
My website to search Atlanta homes for sale is not built on WordPress, but I have many sites that are. I’ll talk about them in the blog and offer them on a separate page for anyone to download for free. Like I said, this is my way to give back.
If you are willing to work, you can own your home turf too. Hopefully, this site will help you get there. Believe me, it’s well worth the effort!
