Episode Highlights:
Ruth Krishnan generated 15 million dollars last year off a Facebook moms group that she was in.
Many lead-gen tactics can take a long time. Facebook groups generated leads for Ruth very quickly.
Ruth is the mother of two boys and being part of a moms group came up organically.
Moms groups ask for a lot of opinions and referrals.
She saw she could fill a need in the group when there were many real estate questions.
Ruth noticed that another realtor posted about whether people would like a market update. She then hosted a meeting and realized that she needed to first make an offering.
Ruth shares about her background in interior design and how that adds value to her business.
As a value proposition to the Facebook group, she offered to teach people tips and tricks for elevating their spaces.
She messaged them separately, gathered their emails, sent an email with event details, and re-advertised it to the Facebook page.
Twelve families came to the event and they did a Facebook Live to the group.
She gained four clients from that event.
She's always trying to figure out what kind of content people respond to.
Authentically marketing after capturing emails is very important.
Be active in the groups in a genuine way.
Ruth is creating evergreen content that can live on her site forever.
Creating content has been fulfilling for Ruth during this time.
Finding a way to put your content into Facebook groups is another way to continue providing value for the community.
