Creating videos couldn’t be easier with this great tool I am going to tell you about. All you will have to do is upload your digital photos, pick the music you want, add your keywords and you are ready to go. It is that simple. Animoto is very user friendly and within a few minutes you will have your first video up and going.
Here are a couple of ways I use this tool:
When I get a new listing, I take the photos and upload them to make a virtual tour. Now I can eliminate the monthly fees for video tours. Your video link can be used for your MLS, your websites and your blogs. Basically you can use the link to your video just like you did with the virtual tour subscription software.
I go around and take photos of the different neighborhoods in my area and create a show for them. This is great for people who are not familiar with the area or are out of town. Showing them the pool, the clubhouse and all the amenities makes it easier for them to determine what neighborhoods they like and the ones they don’t. This alone could save you countless hours driving people around.
Group your neighborhoods together such as golfing communities or waterfront communities and put a show together for them.
Create a Staging Tips video for your seller prospects.
Create a Seller Tips video by putting together a PowerPoint presentation and making it into a video.
Create a Buyer Tips video by following the same process as I did with the Seller Tips.
Put together a show for the home your buyers just bought so they can send the link to their friends. What a great way for them to show off their new home and link you to all their friends.
Those are just a couple of ideas. Oh, don’t worry, they have great tutorials that walk you through exactly how to do all of this.
Animoto has a free version and a paid version. But you know what? The paid version is only around $35.00 per year, that was what I was paying for one month of my virtual tour subscription. That gave me a very quick pay off. So try the free version and if you like it, then upgrade.
