008: The Secrets to Digital Marketing as a Real Estate Agent with Austin St. Jean

Digital marketing can create a huge boon in business for real estate agents, but most realtors don’t know how to use it correctly. They obsess and overanalyze the algorithms. Or maybe they’re randomly posting, hoping it brings them leads or sales activity.

And if you aren’t leveraging this tool in your business, you’re missing out on an enormous--and free!--component of your marketing strategy. When done right, social media can bring you referrals nationwide.

In this episode of The Art of Agency, Austin St. Jean, co-founder of the full-service marketing agency Dippidi, is with Jonathan and Mallory to talk about overcoming the overwhelm of social media, why you need to shift your mindset around it, and how to find your tribe online.
