Any agent, new or old, can use this one. I was actually looking for info to help me with my mortgage business - and this one delivered. It is for R.E. agents (actually Realtors), but alot of it could be used for almost any internet business. Teaches you how to make the center of your business your webpage.

Without getting into too much detail, this book covers topics such as: Why not to use your name as your domain name, how to use multiple domains, driving traffice to your website, capturing e-leads, follow up, turning leads into customers for life, email marketing, building an email database, using virtual assistants and more. In depth. This is the type of book I have been waiting for (and again, I'm in the mortage business - not a real estate agent!)

This is the best book I've ever read on the subject of online marketing. One section alone, '75 Ways to Promote Your Site', is worth far more than the price of the book. When you factor in all the other practical advice, it's a must-read for any REALTOR® who is serious about making money on the Web.

I truly enjoyed this book. It is a simple yet powerful guide to real estate e-marketing that really works. Dan Gooder Richard is in the trenches reporting on real life examples and telling what works and what doesn't. I use this book as a reference and a step-by-step guide. Get the book and get started maximizing your online business.

WOW! I am so energized after reading Dan Gooder Richard's book, REAL ESTATE RAINMAKER GUIDE TO ONLINE MARKETING! I'm not in Real Estate but in Retail with a store front as well as a website. I plan to use Richard's book as my bible for online maketing. Just wait. My website will be topnotch!!

For once Dan Gooder Richard has boiled the complex world of real estate online marketing down to simple strategies novices and experts alike can put to use. This book is easy to understand and best of all it's practical. I would highly recommend this book to all levels of agents and brokers who would like to boost their online marketing efforts.

Dan Gooder Richard really nails it with this second book. His first book was all about advertising and direct mail. This new book is all about websites and e-mail and how to use them for advertising. At last, the second half of the real estate marketing story has been told.

There are so many helpful hints in this book that it is hard to keep track. You have to read it a second and third time to really absorb everything. This is a must read for anyone interested in real estate marketing or marketing in general as the tips could be applied to many industries.

Everyone knows that the Internet is the first place many people turn to when they look for information and there is no exception when it comes to real estate information. If you are in the real estate realm, you need this book to find out how you can capture a portion this exponentially growing segment of the market.

This book is filled with a myriad of real-life examples from successful real estate agents. Surfing these example sites alone will give you ideas on what to do to improve your web site. The ideas within this book are useable and practical and explain the technology you need to know in terms you can understand. Specific products are mentioned by name so you aren't left wondering where to find a "whatchamacallit" to do "whatever" on your/for your web site.

And, unlike many other people who proclaim the Internet to be the ONLY important part of your marketing plan, this book advocates your web site being just one piece (but still a very important piece) of your overall marketing strategy.

The bonus to the book is the resource website. Unlike references and resources listed within a book, the accompanying website makes searching for products referenced within the text simple.

This is a detailed reference guide to the technology available to the real estate industry for the 21st century.

"Your new book is absolutely superb. I'm going through it now for the second time. Quite honestly I thought I knew what was going on with Internet marketing but I've learned more in the first 100 pages of your new book and tweaked my site even more. I think it should be mandatory reading for everyone who wants to get into online marketing for real estate business. I have yellow stickies all over the book, marking things to change and improve my e-marketing. This book is absolutely top notch. Anybody who reads this book will learn things that will more than put the cost of your book (...) back in your pocket ten times over in the first year. It's fabulous. I'm terribly impressed with the book."

REAL ESTATE RAINMAKER: GUIDE TO ONLINE MARKETING was recommended to me by web designer. I have almost completed my first read and plan re-read it again. There's a lot of very detailed and specific information and is a must read for agents who market on the internet.

This book is great! It has everything the beginner needs to learn about how to use the Internet for marketing. I'm sure vertern Internet users would find the techniques helpful as well. It is easy to understand and gives step by step instructions for things like setting up a website and using emails effectively. I found it very helpful and would suggest it to anyone looking to grow their Internet business.
