Videos v Virtual Tours

Some people have Videos on their websites while others use Virtual Tours to display their properties. I feel that Videos are far superior to virtual tours for a variety of reasons. Please follow the links in this presentation and then return here using the back arrow.

Video's can be used in a variety of places where virtual tours fail to tread. If you upload your video to You Tube you will be provided an "Embed Code" which you can use in many places.

Pam Brame of San Carlos used her Embed Code to post her video on the Mexico-My Space Classifieds website. View Pam's listing.

Pam also has a Channel on You Tube where she has a number of listings. View Pam's Channel
She has a number of properties available for viewing and I'm sure she deletes them when they sell.

In addition, her individual listings will show up in a search for San Carlos properties.

Mercy Stirling de Duenas has done much of the same. This link goes to Mercy's Channel.

In addition, I promote Pam's listings and Mercy's listings on my Video Forward website. I promote each video individually on Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin, Stuble Onn Digg and others. Exposure is the name of the game.

None of these operation could be performed without the "Embed Code" provided by You Tube. You should know that uploading videos to You Tube is not hard. They have the necessary tutorials for learning the process. This link will take you to a page on You Tube with dozens of video tutorials on that topic.

Virtual Tours are good but the viewers are basically lazy. They don't want to wait around for a virtual tour to load. When they click the link to a video it either starts playing instantly or they only need to click the play button or arrow.

Let's face it, our society is accustomed to TV and videos with talking or music. That is why You Tube and similar websites are so popular.

Thanks John, but I really deserve none of the credit. Lisa LaBorde and John Haggerty worked tirelessly to make this happen, and credit also to the MLS executive committee. I agree, this opens up the world for us! I know there are some people who were against it, and others who are still confused, but I for one believe it was the best move for everyone. It's going to be an exciting year.

On Carol Billup's Blog is some great news. AMPI and MLS Los Cabos have become ONE. This is due to some very hard work by President Lisa Laborde and the Consejeros such as Carol.
In the early days of AMPI Los Cabos, Linda Neil was the first President. She conducted AMPI meetings following the MLS Meetings. ( Until they became too long.) Her idea was to one day have only a single R.E. Association in Los Cabos. CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL WHO WORKED SO HARD ON THIS Project

In other news... A groujp of us at the NAR Conference, in San Diego discussed the concept of a Resort and Second Home Section for AMPI. This would be similar to NAR's special section. The very first NAR Resort Marketing Forum was held in Los Cabos in 2003. Linda Neil, myself, Jeff Hornberger and Jan Tarnow from NAR hatched the idea at the NAR Conference in Chicago in 2001. I still hear from NAR members, " John the one in Los Cabos was the BEST."

AGAIN, Congrats to Carol, Lisa, John Haggerty and all of the othes who worked so hard to make this a reality!!! It opens up the GLOBE for Los Cabos Realtors.

It is NOT my spelling. It is the typing. Never could do that. Always have to use spell check for my numerous typos....

Excellent update John Thanks

The NAR Conference was an unqualified success. For me it was such a pleasure to see old friends from all over Mexico, Texas and other parts of the world. The Mexican table was on at the International Networking Center at the same time as the Netherlands, France and three other countries. The French were sampling wine and cheese. Of course they pulled a crowd. As for us, we just had our wonderful country to share with others from around the globe. Seen at the table were Julie Kerschner and Jay West from AMPI La Paz. David Pullen from Vallarta and my good friend Sergio from D.F. I also had the pleasure as chatting with Barbara from AMPI headquarters and V.P. Hector Obregon. Alex Olgivie was there, but he played hooky to go and see the Chargers beat the Eagles. Jim Donahoe and Thierry Moine wer at the Resort and Marina Costa Baja booth, extolling the wonders of Puerto Illusion. ( La Paz)
The most memorable event of the Conference was the very uplifting speech delivered by former Secretary of Stae, Condoleeza Rice.
Finally I had a long discussion with old friend Jeffrey Hornberger. Jeffrey has been the Manager of Membership for NAR's Commercial Section for the last two years. On December 1st, he will return to the International arena as Director of Global Alliances. Before Commercial he had been in charge of Latin America. Now the world is his oyster. GO JEFF.
P.S. NOTE to Carol Billups... Your company was present with a large Booth at the Trade Show.
