Do you want to start a new house agency, or you already have one and now are eager to monetize it to the fullest? If it\u2019s the former, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.a2design.biz\/blog\/how-to-build-a-real-estate-website-like-zillow\/\" rel=\"dofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>read a complete guide on real estate app building<\/strong><\/a>. But if it\u2019s the latter, you, my friend, are in the right place at the right time. Everyone knows Zillow as the giant of real estate business, but have you ever thought about how a small app turned into the biggest real estate platform in North America and is now able to earn the big money? We are here for its secrets, that are not so secret if you think about it. Let\u2019s dive in, and you\u2019ll see for yourself.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Show Them Ads, Baby!\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Imagine your website was a night club with flashy banners lighting up the dance floor. What could make it the hottest in town? What could make people want to go there every weekend? The answers is ads.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Partnerships with big and recognizable platforms like Google and AdSence will do it for you and will start the big money-making process. But remember that you have to be smart about ads. People like name-dropping but hate it when it\u2019s right in their faces. So be intentional and non-intrusive like Zillow &#8211; use different types of display ads. There are catchy banners and native ads to be added to your website, but all of them have something in common: they are relevant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t you stop there! <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/mailchimp.com\/resources\/what-is-retargeting\/#:~:text=Retargeting%20primarily%20uses%20paid%20ads,done%20business%20with%20your%20brand.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Explore retargeting ads<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for the ones who have visited your website or social media profiles. This way, you\u2019ll give them a gentle hint to come back to the platform and make that purchase they were thinking about.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>VIP Treatment: Get the Moollah with Premium Subscriptions<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s time to elevate the whole clubbing experience for your guests &#8211; make them VIPs. Zillow did it a long time ago by offering premium subscriptions to its users. It\u2019s hard to resist a more sophisticated status, you know. And with this simple move you can turn your regular night club into a luxurious one where the VIPs have exclusive access and special benefits. Not for free, obviously.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can go wild with this special subscription and give your clients access to some private property listings or personalized tips from real estate specialists. If you price it right, be ready for a lot of cash to come.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And there\u2019s even more. You can go further and create different levels or types of subscription &#8211; why limit yourself and your customers with just one? Depending on how much users of your platform are willing to pay, you can provide various benefits starting from basic access to limited content to premium real estate agency services. And don\u2019t forget about updates and regular announcements that will make them want to see more from you and, consequently, pay you more.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Data is the New Gold: Monetize Your Insights<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At this point, if you follow the guidelines, your night club is all luxurious and exclusive but you need to have something your competitors won\u2019t have &#8211; it\u2019s like a secret ingredient in your grandma\u2019s chocolate chip cookie recipe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This secret is data. In the digital world we live in, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.majesteye.com\/why-is-data-important-for-your-business\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">information is everything<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Look at Zillow: they know the value of their data and leverage from it, so should you. Monetize your insights by creating premium reports or market intelligence packages, including the latest trends, market analysis and insider tips in your subscription system we talked about earlier.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think about your data as a hidden gem, that grandma\u2019s secret ingredient. Real estate developers, investors and agents are hungry for your insights, so share with them, but make them pay. And don\u2019t forget to be careful &#8211; protect your user\u2019s privacy by spending extra time and money on cyber security. You don\u2019t want to lose the trust of your main source of income.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be smart about your data and in no time will you be rolling in dough.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Join Forces: Profiting with Affiliate Marketing<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the reasons why people go to night clubs is that feeling when your favorite song comes on and you find yourself on the dance floor in perfect harmony with the beat. Affiliate marketing works the same way, baby! Collaborate with moving companies, insurance providers and mortgage lenders to promote their services and products. And then, every time someone uses their credit card on your website, you\u2019ll be getting the $$$.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll have to try and find products and services that match your brand\u2019s vibe. Your partners have to be reliable and reputable. Once you have them hooked, create some killer content and unforgettable marketing strategies to make people talk about you. Make video tutorials on mortgage loans and launch blog posts with tips for moving house &#8211; your audience will certainly love it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Sponsored Content and Collabs: Share the Spotlight and the Cash<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lights, camera, action \u2013 it&#8217;s showtime! The last but not the least thing that will definitely make your night club the hottest in town is inviting celebrities to your parties. No one will stand a chance to miss it. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zillow does it all the time when working with real estate professionals and brands to provide tons of content and promos. Learn from them &#8211; collaborate with influencers and experts, too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s the plan: keep it real, authentic and fun. Find collaborations with the same values and offer exclusive sponsored content to your audience. But don\u2019t try to hide it &#8211; people will trust you more if you are transparent about it and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nativeadvertisinginstitute.com\/blog\/labelling-native-advertising-why-transparency-is-so-important\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">label you sponsored content<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> upfront. It\u2019s also a good idea to team up with local interior designers, landscape experts and architects to create visually stunning content like mood boards or even staging some properties for an open house. That\u2019s how you truly level up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Turning your real estate website into a big money-making platform is a difficult job, but it can be fun, too! Learn from the best in this business: display ads, premium subscriptions, data syndication, affiliate marketing, and sponsored content will help you boost your real estate website revenue and have a good time doing it. Be smart about it.
