Growing your real estate business is only possible if you find a way to get your audience's attention. But a home buying (and selling) journey that is increasingly independent has made that process more difficult than ever before.

Other real estate agents like you are constantly pitching their services, hoping to insert themselves into the home buying process as early as possible. How do you stand out? Effective lead generation could be the key.

Marketing automation can be a great asset to small businesses. Rather than having to manually touch and build every single marketing tactic, you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the results come in.

That hypothetical, of course, is not always realistic. Far too often, marketers automate for the sake of convenience. Instead, they end up with campaigns that spit out irrelevant and even dissonant emails, social media posts, and other content.

You read it everywhere: to be successful in promoting your digital brand, a presence on social media is vital. But does biotech social media work for the industry? And, just as crucially, are you just wasting your time trying to take advantage of a tactic that simply doesn't make much sense for your industry?

The answer to that question depends entirely on your approach.

Law firm marketing and lead generation is notoriously difficult. Thanks to the high level of competition, law-related keywords rank among the most expensive on Google, with the word attorney costing more than $47 for a single click. And that's before we even get into the significant time required to build a marketing strategy that sets you apart from competitors who, in the eyes of your audience, are just like you.

As you start on your journey of content marketing for your law firm, you know you need high-quality content that will be useful and interesting to your potential clients.

Unfortunately, coming up with content ideas off the top of your head can be a challenge--especially if you're in a crunch to get started or are trying to come up with a content calendar for the year.
