Interesting business model: Property Listings

[Sughwate]

Good idea, I will test it.

Right now there are 158,000 followers with them having only 100 posts - If only 1% of these people are paid subscribers, they are banking huge money doing basically nothing else than copy-pasting property listings.

171k now

This is a unique idea. Being a middleman to a middle man. One can even take this further by working with the agents and getting a better cut.

That's what I was thinking too.

350000 € is not under $100K
Majority of posts are €100K+

The reels that go viral are under 100k.

Everything above 100K is just cosmetics to give that page an aesthetic look and I think they could do a better job with that because should I do it myself, I'd probably stay with cheap properties only.

This is a very old model given a new twist.

And it works! Who said that old methods don't work By the looks of it, they are flourishing.

I have a customer who outsources most of his tasks to us. He is involved in a 'non-touch real estate' business, which is essentially the same thing as what that other guy is doing. He is basically paid for promotion, and his consistency is amazing, to be honest.

This is just more confirmation that I need to test this myself.

Will give it a shot and report back once we are there

Hello, nice and interesting business model. However, I wonder if using non-free copyrighted images might be a problem. Can you face legal action from the owners of the image licences or have your account blocked by Instagram?

You wont be facing any legal issues if you use them on your Instagram page.

Realtors copy listings all the time.

I often find myself checking out property on YouTube and social media sites so I found an interesting page that monetizes free EU property listings and they have taken the max out of it.

https://www.instagram.com/europeanlistings/

[Please note, this is not an advertisement and I am not connected to this website by any means.]

What they do is they browse different property sites with good photos (Spain, Italy, France, Greece, etc) and then weed out the nice-looking ones that are often very cheap... like under $100K.

They snatch the photos and slightly tune them with Canva - they add the cost and some random text they have copied from the original listing and the outcome is pretty good.

All properties that they can find under $100 K will be posted as reels (the reels are created as a slideshow from the listing) and these guys are getting like 50 K likes per reel.

They have made only 103 posts on Instagram but they already have 150 K followers.

Since they have their website link inside the Instagram bio, the traffic is sent to their site where they offer a paid subscription service for $7.99 where they offer to send you a weekly newsletter of all the new cheap properties they have found. That is nothing more than just links to the actual offering sites where you can contact the actual owner (or an agent who manages that listing):

As mentioned earlier then I am not connected to this site and I just wanted to share this idea as I think it has a lot of potential seeing how well Instagram treats these property reels and how easy it would be to do this.. might even try it myself.

You said 1%. Do you think 5% would be realistic?

No. Most likely it's between 0,5%-1% what still would generate a few thousand USD/month.

And I just saw he increased the price of his newsletter from 7.99$ to 9.99$.

1% would be almost $20,000 per month so far from a few thousand dollars.

No. 5% might be stretching it, but Ive seen results from a 2% to even a 3% response rate.

Nice idea and good post.

Not sure what you mean by a response rate as they meant the conversion rate of the total amount of followers.

I see that they are slowly starting to get organic traffic to their domain too, not in English tho but still Tier 1 traffic and they have updated their website as well.

If their conversion rate by some miracle is 3% they bank insane money.

Yeah conversion rate. I mean the only rate that matters is the one that makes you money so you understand what I'm saying. Did you try this method out?
