We all have those days where we feel as though we are being dragged from one task into another. It feels as though there aren't enough hours in the day, and when the end of the day comes (although we've been busy) we've actually got nothing constructive done in terms of moving our business forward. In this episode, we explore the differences in being busy vs being productive, and take a wider view of how we can manage our time, ourselves and our business better to make tangible progress toward the end goal.

Earlier in this series we explored the importance of consistency and producing enough quantity of content to be front of mind with your chosen markets. However, you must give consideration to the quality of the content you produce. I always think when it comes to thinking up content ideas, we can often get paralysis by analysis and take no action SO... Where can you get that seed inspiration to form a solid basis on which you can build content from? In this walk and talk soundbite, we explore exactly that.

If you are listening to this podcast right now, then you are a real life example of the power of content marketing using audio. However, is it an appropriate strategy for you, your brand or your business? Perhaps, perhaps not. In this episode Ben explores why he started a podcast, why and gives his opinion as to whether or not you should launch one.

In todays show, I am joined by independent Estate Agent & entrepreneur, Michael Bailey. Michael has a very forward thinking approach to business, and made the leap in to 'self employed life' in the latter stages of 2019. In just a few short months, Michael has grown an impressive business built on the foundations of great service, innovative marketing and by embracing the power of content marketing. In todays show we explore Michaels background, the journey to becoming self employed and the future plans Michael has for his business.

Content is something we've spoken a lot on recently, and with good reason. The content produced by any brand, business or individual can have an immediate and lasting impact on how they are perceived by the market. Content marketing allows a brand the opportunity to establish/solidify relationships with their market, build trust equity, build authority & drive sales. However, what should you be posting and how frequently? In this episode, Ben explores the importance of quality vs quantitiy - which is most important?

In this episode, I sit down with Moshe Leitner - Founder of Be Noticed. Be Noticed provide a board erecting service for commercial and residential Estate Agents throughout the North West. Moshe is on a mission to raise both service standards & profile for his partner agents by combining his exceptional customer service skills with his relentless social media activity & timely response times. It was an honour to have Moshe on the show, not necessarily because of what he does but because of who he is. I can't help but admire anybody who has that ethic & hustle. My name is Ben - the one with the beard, you're tuned in to the one with the podcast & this is the one with Moshe Leitner. Enjoy.

I talk tons about the power of content and content marketing. Powerful content can help a brand or busienss establish a solid connection with their target market to have real impact, and add real value. However, what's the diffetence between platforms, and which is most applicable or appropriate based on your objectives? In this episode, we dig under the bonet. Enjoy!

In this episode, Ben chats to property industry veteran, Adam Day. Adam is the UK expansion leader for eXp UK, a business who work alongside Ben in supporting his business. In this open & transparent coversation, Ben & Adam recap on Bens first three months of trade, exploring the ups and downs of being a property entrepreneur in 2020. Enjoy!

This was an impromtu episode filmed on a whim (and in a bath) 🛀, thankfully a solo recording. I felt compelled to record this following a post that triggered me earlier today. I have been self employed the majority of my working life. I wouldn't have it any other way. Is it all it's made out to be though? Is it right for you? Tune in, to form your own opinion.

Jerry is an ex journalist turned content creator, now exclusively serving the world of Estate Agency. That’s right, an ex journalist and an estate agent on the same podcast – thankfully there was no traffic warden present, but don’t let that deter you from tuning in for the duration as today’s episode was absolutely stacked with value, actionable points and food for thought from start to finish. In my humble opinion carefully thought out content delivered with consistency is a powerful medium for any brand or business in any sector to strengthen relationships with their market and to earn the trust of their customers. I would argue that moving into 2020, engaging, relevant and informative content has never been more important when establishing a strong & authoritative digital footprint for your business

Drawing on his years of experience in journalism Jerry became involved in Estate Agency back in 2010 but with his wife Wendy, established the Estate Agents Content Club last year. The business offers a membership subscription service exclusively to one agent in each postcode for those who want to deliver content to their markets with both quality and consistency to win more instructions. In the early stages of 2020 Jerry & his wife introduced the ‘Karma Club’, a play on words from the namesake of the business where the couple pledge to donate a percentage of their income, generated from the membership fees of their partner agents, to charities and worthwhile causes the world over. In January they successfully raised funds for a girls football team, and moving into February will be contributing funds toward helping the fight against the bushfires in Australia.

Content, podcasts and business to one side  - I have to say that it was nothing but an honour to sit down and chat to Jerry on todays show. A genuinely warm, friendly, humble man who lead with value from the word ‘welcome’.

I hope you enjoy listening to todays show as much as I enjoyed recording it. If you are interested in connecting with Jerry or discussing his services then please visit his website: www.estateagentcontent.co.uk
