30 Days of Content Creation Challenge Tasks

How to Successfully Complete Our Real Estate Content Creation Challenge

1. Brainstorm & Plan Your Content in Advance

Create a 30-day content calendar outlining your daily social media posts. Here’s what our in-house social media strategist Kathleen Rock says about planning your content:

“When you’re coming up with content ideas, consider your behavior as a social media user. What are you looking for on different platforms? What gets you to stop scrolling? Social media users spend hours a day online, and content gets repetitive. What can you post that quickly captures their attention?”

2. Be Consistent in Your Posts

Content creation for real estate involves generating informative posts, valuable insights, and consistency. When are your followers online? Try scheduling your content for the first few days at the same time each day and see if it’s working for your audience. Here’s another tip from Kathleen Rock: 

“Consistency is key when posting on social media—not just for your followers, but also for the algorithm! However, don’t post for the sake of posting. Ensure your content provides value, whether entertaining, engaging, or educational.”

3. Use Real Estate Keywords & Hashtags Strategically

Adding relevant keywords and hashtags to your captions increases your chances of appearing on Instagram’s Explore page, where people who don’t follow you will see your content. We encourage you to unleash your creativity, so feel free to tag us in your posts for this creative challenge!

4. Social Media Marketing

Don’t just rely on one social media platform for this content creation for real estate agents. Use sites like Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, and Pinterest to reach a wider audience. What you publish as a post or story on Instagram can be shared on your YouTube Shorts or TikTok, and vice versa. As always, be creative!

5. Monitor Your Progress

As you complete the social media challenge, track the performance of your content to see what’s effective for your followers and what isn’t. Monitor key metrics such as reach, engagement, and follower growth. Which day did you gain the most followers? Which types of content are working and getting the most comments and shares? Use this data to adjust your strategy and improve your posts.

6. Stay Authentic & Have Fun

Most of all, be true to yourself. Only publish posts that reflect your brand, interests, and values. Engage with your audience, reply to their comments, answer their questions, and initiate conversations as you do the social media challenge. Remember, authenticity is a strong social media strategy that builds trust among your audience.

Your Take

I hope this 30-day content creation challenge will help instill consistency in your posting routine. Challenge yourself to stay committed to building your brand and crafting valuable content daily. Keeping your social media accounts active will strengthen your presence on social media, create a deeper connection with your followers, and even get more leads. Do you have more content ideas for your fellow agents? Share them in the comments!
