Ep 34 Album cover

Welcome back to the podcasts series that’s designed to wake up those bleary-eyed realtors, too many of whom are doing the same things, following the same scripts. Hey, I was there too early on in my career. But I learned fast, it doesn’t work. I broke out of the mold, and that’s what Onion Juice is all about! I’m setting out here for nothing less than redefining the real estate industry. I’m all about challenging the status quo. My mission in these podcasts is to help you do the same; learn to attract business, not chase it.   Learn how to create events people will want to share on their Facebook pages, events that give back to the community!   For most realtors, open houses are the extent of their event planning. Really?! When I see them promote their open houses on social media, I’m thinking, “Do you really expect that to work? Do you…

Ep 33 Album cover

Whether this is your first time listening or you’re a regular here at Onion Juice, welcome! In this episode I want to talk about how to really engage people through your use of Facebook. It’s not enough just to post some stuff now and then. How do you really engage people? Get them interacting with you? Because if you’re not doing that, you’re not using Facebook to its fullest potential. Most realtors are drinking orange juice, doing the stuff you’d expect of them. Well, welcome to the other OJ: Onion Juice. Let’s learn how to shake things up!   Yeah, I play games with my business associates. And yes, I consider it better than professional!   One really great way I’ve found to engage people on Facebook is with a weekly game I’ve created, Mathweg’s Monday Trivia. As I explain in this episode, the idea is that Monday’s can be terrible, so let’s put a…

Ep 32 Album cover

The Onion Juice podcast is all about attracting business as a real estate agent. Stop drinking fufu orange juice and switch to Onion Juice! In this episode I’ll talk about how important it is to have a clear “why,” a clear purpose to what you do and how you live. Not only that, I’ll help you learn how to put your particular “why” out there to the world. It’s our purpose that attracts people to us! Our passion for what we do. As a real estate agent coach, I want to help you discover your “why,” and more importantly, why people should care about it.   Of course your family drives you to work hard, but dig deeper! People care about their own families, not yours!   As a real estate agent, your purpose needs to be something that affects other people. That’s the only way you’ll attract people. Don’t make your family your “why.”…

YouTube is the NOW! Learn how to use it or risk becoming irrelevant. – Episode 31

Ep 31 Album cover

If you haven’t noticed for yourself, YouTube is the place to be! Everyone uses YouTube, even my toddler! That’s why in this episode, I’m picking real estate agent Bucky Beeman’s brain to find out his insights on the YouTube phenomenon and how to utilize it. Bucky says YouTube is fast on its way to taking over the cable industry. That’s HUGE! That’s why he’s decided recently to double down his efforts to make a powerful presence on YouTube. And there’s plenty of room for improvement for the way the real estate industry has been using this tool so far.   Make your videos entertaining and educational. (Yes, even real estate videos can be entertaining!)   If your videos are not entertaining, you’ll notice it when you look at your ratings. You don’t necessarily have to be a funny guy to be entertaining (though that’s definitely helpful). This episode of Onion Juice touches on how to…
