When you create a Real Estate Show, you can make it as simple or complex as you like. One button that I think adds a lot of value to your show is the “www” button.
To find this, look under the “Edit Buttons” tab while Managing a Show. Entering a link in the “www” box will turn on this feature.
Hopefully you have already linked to your website, and that link will appear to the right of your show. But now you have another place you can send people for information.
If your Show is about a house you have listed, you could link to a neighborhood website so that potential buyers can learn much more about this particular area. You might link to a city website if there’s not a more closely related website available.- Did you make a Show about another business? By all means, link to their website! Share the love!
- Do you have a blog? If you do, I hope you’re making lots of Shows to embed and illustrate your topics! Link your Shows to their blog posts for the people that find your Shows elsewhere.
“Listings Are Only Part of the Story.” You can make sure your viewers get the full impact of your topic by providing a variety of information for them.

Nice , Looks as if the program offers a lot of flexability.
Sarah,
This blog gives excellent advice! I wrote an Active Rain blog after reading yours that reminds everyone that RES gives us choices in what links we provide to our viewers.
When you enter a zip code, there are automatically www links added for schools and location…but you can change these links if you want to.
There’s quite a few opportunities to use links, and we can change it up to suit the needs of our viewers.
Keep these blogs comin, Sarah. Always good stuff.

Here’s one for the wish list: I’d like to be able to add multiple links — say one to the neighborhood council, and one to the local school district — looks like the www button can only be used for one link? I suppose I could make a page of links, and use the www button to go to the page of links…… (I’m still in the “just playing around” stage with RES, as you can see.)
Cheryl, I think it is possible to grant your wish. You can use the “link shows” button. Jeff provides a tutorial on this very subject. I link many of my shows together.
Herb – That’s one of the things I love about the Shows, they’re flexible enough so that we can all make them our own!
Sue – Thanks for that post!! And thanks for the extra information for us here!
Cheryl – Well, as Joelle said you can connect the Shows, but as for just having more links … Jeff???
Joelle – Thanks! Linking the Shows does let you tell people much more than you can in just one!
Cheryl,
I wrote a blog that mentions epodunk.com
In your RES, if you click “Edit Buttons”, then “Location”, you can add a link to the epodunk.your town and offer a wealth of local information.
This might help you, hope so
Sue
Wow, I love that idea. I’m going to do it for some business, I use all the time.
My first to do of the day.
My head is spinning from the ideas…. RES is so versatile!
