There's no better time to learn how to create an awesome video portfolio for your business than right now! You will maximize your time and boost your engagement across multiple social channels in no time flat. Video has become so important that **search engines** (i.e. Google, Bing, etc.) **reward those who are committed to creating constant video content**. The more videos you create, the more your audience will expand, and the larger your content library will become. An expanded video library means you have the opportunity to recycle your content for more viewers to engage over time.   Part of mastering any video strategy is being prepared ahead of time. Have a pre-determined place to record, create a list of content categories to eliminate creative blocks, and identify your preferred video styles. Once you've established your set, theme, and style you're ready to plan. Rotate through each content theme and style to create a dynamic calendar of video content ***FAST!*** Pre-planning your content for the month will keep your marketing plan stress-free and moving forward. These little habits will keep your real estate business in focus with your audience.    ##  5 Quick-action Tips to Creating a Content Calendar **Tip # 1 - Be relevant and in season** Posting a video about 'How to Trim Your Christmas Tree' when you should be posting about 'How to Trim Your Trees for Spring,' won't help your video strategy. Remember, your audience wants to feel like you are engaging with them in *real time*. Creating seasonal content also means you're creating content that is relevant and reusable, as needed!   **Tip #2 - Know your content categories and have associated #hashtags** Having a consistent set of content categories helps you curate the look, feel, and messaging of your brand. Categories allow you to skillfully create conversations about your business without "selling" your business. You should have 9 -12 content categories (i.e. home organization, gardening, sellers' tips, or home styles) that you rotate through to craft the right messaging for you. It is also important to associate #hashtags with your content categories. Why? Because hashtags help you gain more followers, improve your online reputation, and are trackable.  **Here's a quick real estate hashtag library to copy and paste:** #RealEstate #Realty #Broker #ForSale #NewHome #HouseHunting #Property #Properties #InvestmentProperty #Home #Housing #Mortgage #HouseForSale #Selling #Listing #JustListed #OpenHouse #NewListing #HomeSale #HomeForSale #TidyTips #MomentumMakers #WeekendWarrior #DIY #HomeGarden #Remodel #BeforeAndAfter #DreamHome #CurbAppeal #VirtualTour #HomeSellersTips #HomeBuyersTips    **Tip #3 - Master the video styles you are most comfortable with** Don't confuse your audience and make your life harder by trying to master all the video styles.

And confidence builds trust.    **Tip #4 - Optimize your videos for your social platform** In order to stay relevant and capture your audience’s attention, it is critical to optimize your video content and use the correct social media video specs. Each social platform has its own set of rules that you must follow for the algorithm to reward you for your video efforts.
