Increase your following by maximizing hashtags on instagram

Hashtags makes the difference in getting FOUND on instagram.
Here is the Hashtags strategy.

Use a blank word or google document on your computer or on your phone open up the notes app on your phone. Open up the notes app on your iPhone or your notepad on an android.

Go to instagram and start searching hashtags related to Las Vegas and/or your farm area. Make a List of your hashtags. For example, you may start to search #vegasrealestate and see that #vegasrealestate comes up too.

Add both of those your list of a least 15 hashtags

Save the list of hashtags to your phone/computer. On instagram post something like, "I sure love where I live!" Then, use your hashtags. Use these hashtags for your IG posts as they are relevant.

For posts in your IG feed you can have up to 30 hashtags and for IG stories up to 1 - I think 3 is plenty for stories.

Catch up on any items you may not have had time to do.

Read through the instagram notes.

Make sure you have completed all these items:

Have you updated your BIO? Tried out instagram stories? Created your video? Used Hashtags?

If you are all caught up - take your time today to schedule a few pieces of content on your instagram page for the next 3-5 days.

You can use the free Facebook creator studio to schedule some post or use a free tool like later.com

Ideas for post:
- Monday Market update or Monday motivator
- Tip Tuesday or Tour Tuesday
- Wednesday Wisdom or Wednesday Winedom
- Throwback Thursday of Thirsty Thursday
- Feature Friday or Festive Friday

You get it! Consistency is King! Content is Queen!

The old paradigm: A house's price is the maximum amount that an area's average local buyer can afford to mortgage over 25-40 years. But because wages have flat lined and purchasing purity is the same as in 1978. The only rational explanation for this current price explosion is giant debt bubble...right?

Wrong

The new paradigm: A houses value is now the maximum amount of annual rental income that can be extracted from it by a global investor, multiplied by maximal institutional leverage.

Ruthie Rocks and Marketing Max talks about important facts regarding the real estate industry.

We featured an article by Jared A. Brock titled "This Real Estate Bubble Won't Pop"

How house pricing has radically change?

House prices are currently at an all-time high, but we are not in a real estate bubble - we're in a pricing paradigm shift.

The old paradigm: A house's price is the maximum amount that an area's average local buyer can afford to mortgage over 25-40 years. But because wages have flatlined and purchasing purity is the same as in 1978. The only rational explanation for this current price explosion is giant debt bubble...right?

Wrong

The new paradigm: A houses value is now the maximum amount of annual rental income that can be extracted from it by a global investor, multiplied by maximal institutional leverage.

It's the biggest paradigm shift in the history of human shelter, and it's the reason why that vast majority will never own a house in the future.

Because out family homes are just future hedge fund investments.

Even with temporary price drops, expect overall prices to continue hard-up-and-to-the-right for nine major reasons.

1. Population is growing
Our global family currently contains almost 7.9 billion, headed to 10.5 billion within 50 years.

2. People are moving to cities
The overall population will "only" rise by 33% but look at the states on where everyone is moving: Cities.

3. More people are living alone
As more people live alone, we'll need far more housing units. When there's more demand without adequate supply, price increase.

4. Multiple house ownership
Looking at you, small-time landlords and non-resident Airbnb hosts. More than 23 million American landlords own more than one house.

5. Housing Construction isn't keeping up
The US housing supply has been under built for over a decade and we're building just six houses for every ten new households.

6. Building costs are soaring amidst material shortages
Lumber,paint,concrete,glass,labor,land are all rising faster than average wages. We live on a infinite planet with limited resources, and those resources are becoming expensive to extract.

7. Real inflation is soaring
It's almost certainly 10-20+% per year. And real estate always tracks with inflation. These days, in fact, shelter prices are outpacing inflation.

8. The monopolists are here
When you allow speculation and investment in residential real estate, you end up where every other capitalist sector ends up- with a handful monopolists owning all the assets in the industry.

9. Outrageous Leverage
This is where things truly ugly. Once monopolies form, they utilize the power of financialization to drop an economic atomic bomb on their competition
