FSBO? Sell Your Clovis, CA Home with RSS Feeds
Are you a Clovis For Sale By Owner (FSBO) attempting to sell your Clovis home? As you likely already know, selling your Clovis home by yourself can be risky, but if you’re going to do it RSS feeds can help. Never heard of RSS feeds before? That’s OK, we’ll show what they are, why every major website has them, and how we use them to sell all of our Clovis homes and why you should too.
What Is RSS?
RSS stands for “Really Simple Syndication” (Wikipedia). It’s used to publish information on the internet quickly and easily. You see RSS feeds all the time on the Internet for things such as news, blogs, videos, and other information. In fact, just about every major website has an RSS feed, such as Google, Yahoo, CNN.com, LATimes.com, FresnoBee.com, etc. (you can see our RSS feed at the end of this article).
How Do RSS Feeds Work?
Internet users subscribe to RSS feeds which in turn allows the user to read that website’s content online, offline, or a mobile device, such as your cell phone. Sound like James Bond technology? It’s not. Think of it as a way to filter the billions and billions of pages of information on the internet down to just the items that you want to see and read. It’s somewhat like deciding which pages of the newspaper you want to read and which ones you don’t.
Still a little unclear? This video from Lee LeFever at Common Craft explains RSS in Plain English.
Using RSS Feeds to Sell Clovis Homes
You can use RSS feeds to sell your Clovis home. This is how and why we use RSS feeds to sell all of our Clovis homes for sale. According to Technorati, internet bloggers create nearly one million posts every day. 77% of active Internet users read blogs which represents more than 350 million people worldwide. Imagine if that kind of traffic viewed your Clovis home for sale!
So how do you reach this huge pool of potential readers? First you’ll need to create a webpage or blog. We recommend wordpress.org. It’s free and user friendly. Next, it’s time to get the word out. Here’s a list of over 200 blog and RSS syndication sites from TopRank® Blog. Think of each one of these as a ‘virtual open house sign’ for your blog. A few minutes of your time to add your site to these directories could lead to a buyer who is looking for a Clovis home — a home just like yours. Remember, over 87% of all home buyers started their search on the internet. The more potential Clovis buyers who see your Clovis home, the better chance it has of selling.
Summary
Using Really Simple Syndication is one the fastest, easiest, and most effective ways to reach internet users. They won’t come flocking to your site, however, unless you provide quality research and quality posts. But if you’re willing to do that, you’ll have a loyal, worldwide audience. Remember, over 350 million people are hungry for great web content. Feed them with RSS!
