  SPEAKER_00: I mean, you can get discounted tickets if you buy them earlier, but like retail is like$1,500.
• 5:02
  SPEAKER_00: You go to Inmin,$1,500,$2,000, whatever.
• 5:04
  SPEAKER_00: Like it's ridiculous.
• 5:06
  SPEAKER_00: Elevate, fraction.
• 5:08
  SPEAKER_00: Fraction of that.
• 5:09
  SPEAKER_00: And then use discount code Dustin VIP.
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 5:13
  SPEAKER_00: Here's where agents are screwing up.
• 5:15
  SPEAKER_00: And I see this all the time.
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_00: And you're putting you're posting content in the wrong place.
• 5:21
  SPEAKER_00: Here's what I mean by that.
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_00: And now I'm gonna be speaking more about Instagram than than anything else, but this absolutely applies to Facebook and it applies to TikTok, it applies everywhere.
• 5:33
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 5:34
  SPEAKER_00: There are different tools that social media networks have.
• 5:38
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, there's there's posting in the feed, there's stories, there Facebook has groups and you know, everything like that.
• 5:45
  SPEAKER_00: But if you're putting if you're putting content in the wrong place, then it's it's it's not working.
• 5:53
  SPEAKER_00: It's not working at all.
• 5:55
  SPEAKER_00: And so I see agents all the time who are putting, they are posting things in their stories that should be a feed post.
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm seeing agents post stuff as a feed post that should be a story.
• 6:07
  SPEAKER_00: And and those same agents are frustrated and they're like, they feel like you're spinning your wheels on social.
• 6:12
  SPEAKER_00: You're never getting any business from it, you're never having any conversations happen.
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_00: And it feels like you're just speaking into a black hole and you're not getting a response.
• 6:22
  SPEAKER_00: You've got to get, you gotta put content in the right place.
• 6:26
  SPEAKER_00: So let me break this down for you.
• 6:28
  SPEAKER_00: If you are putting personal behind the scenes, like family life, personal life uh stuff as feed posts, it's in the wrong place.
• 6:37
  SPEAKER_00: That belongs in your stories.
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_00: I'll explain here in a second.
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_00: If you are putting a ton of business stuff in your stories, I'm not saying you should never, but if you are uh if you're out showing houses and you're showing the living room and then the next house and the next house and open houses and and it's all business stuff in your stories, it's in the wrong place.
• 6:58
  SPEAKER_00: Some of that should be maybe repackaged a little bit, but put into your it, but it should be a feed post instead.
• 7:06
  SPEAKER_00: You've got to understand how these different levers work, especially on Instagram and TikTok and Facebook.
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_00: The way feed posts and stories work are very different.
• 7:15
  SPEAKER_00: What you post in the feed, especially if it's short form vertical video, aka a reel, when you post a short form vertical video, a TikTok, a reel, the algorithm shows it to some of your followers, but it also suggests it to non-followers.
• 7:32
  SPEAKER_00: It also puts that content in front of people who do not follow you yet.
• 7:36
  SPEAKER_00: So if you are showing your kids' soccer game and you post it as an Instagram story, or you're hunting, or you're like you're at the grocery store and you saw something funny and you post it as a as a post, if that gets into someone's feed and they don't know who you are, what do they care about your kids' soccer game?
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_00: You know what I mean?
• 7:56
  SPEAKER_00: The people who care are the people who already know you.
• 8:00
  SPEAKER_00: So to get in front of the people who already know you exclusively, you post in your stories.
• 8:06
  SPEAKER_00: Feed what you post in the feed should be meant for, yes, people that follow you, but also those that don't know you yet.
• 8:13
  SPEAKER_00: So it should be more targeted for your ideal audience.
• 8:16
  SPEAKER_00: It should have a good hook, it should deliver something of value, maybe it's educational, interesting, maybe it's funny, maybe it's a combination of those things.
• 8:25
  SPEAKER_00: But the behind the scenes of your life, the Halloween party you went to, your kids trunk retreating, uh, you working in working on your garden.
• 8:36
  SPEAKER_00: I was trying to say working and gardening, you working on the garden as a feed post, that's not it.
• 8:42
  SPEAKER_00: Because non-followers will see it and they also won't care.
• 8:46
  SPEAKER_00: That's not the stuff that belongs in the feed.
• 8:48
  SPEAKER_00: Your stories are only watched by those who already follow you.
• 8:53
  SPEAKER_00: The people who already know you.
• 8:55
  SPEAKER_00: So this the type of content that you put in your stories should be to deepen the personal connection.
• 9:02
  SPEAKER_00: To let people who already know you, they've already clicked follow, lets them see behind the scenes into your life.
• 9:09
  SPEAKER_00: Let them see who you are as a person, what you like doing, what your family life is like, what you do when you're not working, uh, maybe some interesting stuff about what you do for work, of course, but that's what goes in your stories.
• 9:20
  SPEAKER_00: So just audit yourself.
• 9:22
  SPEAKER_00: Are you putting stuff in the right place?
• 9:24
  SPEAKER_00: I see agents all the time that you're just trying to check a box like, okay, Dustin says I need to post, and I should do it as often as possible.
• 9:34
  SPEAKER_00: So the and then you post something and you're just putting it in the wrong place.
• 9:38
  SPEAKER_00: Now look, if that's you, if I'm describing you, kudos for doing something.
• 9:42
  SPEAKER_00: At least you're doing something.
• 9:44
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, a lot of agents do nothing because the confused mind stands still.
• 9:50
  SPEAKER_00: The confused mind just sits there like a deer in the headlights, like, well, I don't know everything, and I can't be perfect, so I'll do nothing.
• 9:57
  SPEAKER_00: That is the wrong answer, by the way.
• 10:00
  SPEAKER_00: So, but if you're going to do something, let's give it a little more thought and put stuff in the right place.
• 10:06
  SPEAKER_00: So, stuff, the behind the scenes, uh, personal life, random thoughts, memes that you find funny, stuff like that.
• 10:15
  SPEAKER_00: That belongs in your story because in your stories, the people who already clicked follow, that's what they're gonna see.
• 10:23
  SPEAKER_00: The stories should be to further the connection.
• 10:26
  SPEAKER_00: The feed posts should be to grab people and bring them into your audience, bring them into your tent, so to speak, get them to follow you.
• 10:34
  SPEAKER_00: And of course, the people that follow you, it should still be relevant for them too.
• 10:37
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, it's not like feed posts only exclusively goes to non-followers, unless you do a trial reel on Instagram, which is a another topic.
• 10:45
  SPEAKER_00: Actually, it's a topic for now.
• 10:47
  SPEAKER_00: I okay.
• 10:48
  SPEAKER_00: If you want to post exclusively to people who don't follow you and not have any followers see it in Instagram, you can post a trial reel.
• 10:57
  SPEAKER_00: You just have to click a little button on the like as you're posting, you're getting the post set up, there's a little trial reels button.
• 11:03
  SPEAKER_00: You just boop.
• 11:04
  SPEAKER_00: Not every Instagram user has this feature yet.
• 11:07
  SPEAKER_00: So if you don't have trial reels, I'm sorry, that sucks.
• 11:10
  SPEAKER_00: No, I don't have a connection at Instagram to fix it.
• 11:13
  SPEAKER_00: Uh I'm still waiting for the Facebook professional profile, which I still don't have the ability to do, which is really annoying.
• 11:20
  SPEAKER_00: But uh trial reels is it's like for trying out content to see how it's going to be received by non-followers.
• 11:27
  SPEAKER_00: And you can use trial reels.
• 11:29
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, I rarely use it, I just don't think it works that well.
• 11:32
  SPEAKER_00: I've tried it.
• 11:33
  SPEAKER_00: Um I mean it's it's okay, but I'd rather have my content do well by being seen by followers first, people who know me first and are expecting the certain type of content that I do and the style of content that I do, and then get shown in non-followers.
• 11:50
  SPEAKER_00: That's that's my person, I mean, that's my personal opinion, but I've tested this.
• 11:55
  SPEAKER_00: I put a bunch of content in trial reels, I've done a bunch of stuff in the regular feed.
• 11:59
  SPEAKER_00: Test it out, try it out.
• 12:01
  SPEAKER_00: My whole point being there is a tool to exclusively reach people who don't follow you with a feed post.
• 12:08
  SPEAKER_00: Stories are completely the opposite.
• 12:11
  SPEAKER_00: That's for that's only for your followers.
• 12:13
  SPEAKER_00: So once you get people to follow you, you want them to connect with you personally.
• 12:18
  SPEAKER_00: If you've ever seen me talk live in person and you've seen my how to get clients from social, even if you suck, talk, this is what I highlight the difference between the feed posts and stories and what you should put in each.
• 12:29
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm giving you a little crash course today.
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_00: I'm you know oversimplifying and speeding it up.
• 12:35
  SPEAKER_00: But uh the key here is you get people to follow you, you get people to notice your stuff and they want more of it.
• 12:42
  SPEAKER_00: So they click follow and they get into your network, right?
• 12:44
  SPEAKER_00: They get into your tent.
• 12:46
  SPEAKER_00: Then in stories, you start letting people see who you are, let letting them see your personality more, behind the scenes, family life, what you did this weekend.
• 12:55
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, you just went to see Tron for the third time, like I did.
• 12:59
  SPEAKER_00: I just saw Tron Ares for the third time.
• 13:01
  SPEAKER_00: What a masterpiece.
• 13:03
  SPEAKER_00: What a masterpiece.
• 13:04
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and if you saw my stories, you would know that I'm obsessed with Tron and Tron Aries, the new Tron movie.
• 13:10
  SPEAKER_00: Uh so yeah, I just saw it the other day for the third time with my kids.
• 13:14
  SPEAKER_00: It's theirs their second time, my third.
• 13:17
  SPEAKER_00: Anyways, the stories are a crazy powerful tool to let people get to know you better.
• 13:25
  SPEAKER_00: As long as you show what's going on in your life and you do it in an interesting way and you just have fun with it, the people who follow you for business content or to learn about real estate stuff or to learn more about the local area, they'll start to connect with you personally and remember you and like you more when they start to see who you are as a person and what's going on behind the scenes.
• 13:47
  SPEAKER_00: So feed posts are meant for your ideal audience, and then you post for them.
• 13:53
  SPEAKER_00: Your stories are meant for the people who already follow you and just let them see the real you, let them see behind the scenes.
• 13:59
  SPEAKER_00: It's like a reality show.
• 14:01
  SPEAKER_00: Think of your stories as like a reality show uh behind the scenes of your life, who you are as a person, and what your personality is like.
• 14:08
  SPEAKER_00: Because if you get them to follow you, and then through your stories, you get them to connect with you at a personal level, they remember you, they like you, and they'll refer you.
• 14:18
  SPEAKER_00: And when their timing is right, they'll probably remember you and hopefully hire you as a buyer, buyer's agent or listing agent.
• 14:26
  SPEAKER_00: So there you go.
• 14:27
  SPEAKER_00: On Instagram, on TikTok, on Facebook, make sure that when you're posting things that you put it in the right place.
• 14:34
  SPEAKER_00: So just think about it through that lens.
• 14:36
  SPEAKER_00: Is this something that strangers would care about?
• 14:39
  SPEAKER_00: If not, if it's only some if it's if you want to post something and you ask that question and the answer is no, strangers wouldn't give a shit.
• 14:48
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, would the people who already know me care about this?
• 14:51
  SPEAKER_00: Would they find this interesting?
• 14:52
  SPEAKER_00: If the answer is yes, put it in your stories.
• 14:56
  SPEAKER_00: I think that'll help a lot.
• 14:57
  SPEAKER_00: That's gonna that's gonna change the game for a lot of you.
• 15:00
  SPEAKER_00: Because when unfortunately, when you put the wrong stuff in the wrong place and you're putting story content as feed posts and feed posts as story content, it it indicates to the algorithm that your stuff isn't very good because no one's engaging with it, nobody's watching it, because it's just it's not what they're expecting in the place they're expecting it.
• 15:19
  SPEAKER_00: Uh so you get that right, all of your content starts to perform better.
• 15:23
  SPEAKER_00: You're gonna notice all of your metrics improve.
• 15:26
  SPEAKER_00: So run it through that lens.
• 15:29
  SPEAKER_00: I think you'll see a big improvement.
• 15:31
