We get tactical on batching shoots, filming with just a phone, building repeatable systems (scripts, research, editing workflows), and hiring for character + communication. Michael also shares his POV on SEO for YouTube (titles, descriptions, using transcripts), why he prefers running Meta ads vs. boosting posts, and how consistent DM + comment responses turn views into real conversations and clients. If you’re a realtor, lender, investor, or service pro trying to grow with content—this episode is a roadmap for creating videos that build trust, show social proof, and generate inbound leads over time. #RealEstateMarketing #ContentCreation #VideoMarketing #YouTubeSEO #InstagramReels #SocialMediaMarketing #PersonalBranding #RealtorTips #MortgageMarketing #PortlandRealEstate #VancouverWA #SeattleRealEstate #Entrepreneurship #BatchContent #ContentStrategy Hosted on Acast.
