Web Site Instructions Once You Have Your New Web Site

The Most Powerful Residential and/or Commercial Real Estate Web Sites on the Planet.

(Once they are set up properly!)

For Executive Members of ICIWorld

Web sites are included in your membership for the first three months whether you use them or not.  You just have to ask for one.  If you like it after three months it is only $19.95 per month.

In one sense they are like billboards.  If we can help you make $50,000 over the next few years with the one we send you, and you can make $50,000 with the one you already have, then why not?  Our point? You can have more than one.

In the cases of brokers and salespeople having more than one, there are several options.  Some like to keep the one that they have as more residential and the one from ICIWorld more commercial.  One places a link on the commercial one that says "Visit my residential web site" or just place a link that says "Residential" and when people click on it, they go to your residential site.

On your residential site, you put a button that says "Commercial" and it take them to your commercial site.

When you deal with residential customers you give them that site domain name.  When you deal with commercial customers you give them your commercial real estate web site domain name.

Have you ever heard of Point2 Realty Solutions? 

They are a company out of Saskatchewan, Canada.  They have helped to create over 180,000 real estate web sites in North America for real estate professionals like yourself. They started to charge about $50 per month about a year ago for the standard web site but to make a long story short, ICIWorld has become an official distributor of the Point2 Agent web site and we include it free for the first three months. After that it is only $19.95 per month. We consider it among the Mercede Benz of web sites.

After three months you have a choice to continue for $19.95 per month or give it up.  However most all brokers are keeping them because they work generating leads. This is one of the most powerful Internet tools any and all brokers can have.

ICIWorld is also an official educator of these sites.  We help you unlock the potential of these web sites and share with you what we call the "web site philosophy."  Without it you probably will still keep missing doing deals.

Why is it free for three months included in an ICIWorld Executive Membership.  Several reasons:

  • support is provided by some advertising at the bottom.  I have seen a mortgage company, a moving company.  If you need to get rid of that then there is a monthly fee for the professional version;

  • there are certain limitations such as only five EMail addresses or fifteen buttons.  If you need more then you will need the professional version;

  • there is a limitation of fifteen buttons.  We have found this works to generate leads.  However if you want more then you will need the professional version which is about $49.95 per month;

  • however we have hundreds who now have this site are it is fully functional and has all the basics needed to start a really great presence on the Internet.

Why do we and Point2 do it this way? 

If we can show you how to make money in your service to the public using these web sites and you start to make money, would you upgrade to the professional version once you have made money?  Most all say yes.

This web site does both Residential AND Commercial and can be made to look more residential or commercial as you wish. It will come to you looking more residential but you will see shortly, it will be changed to look commercial with just a few changes. You can use it for both markets.

So here is the plan.  A web site has been sent to you by EMail from Point2.  We have chosen to use Point2 for all our ICIWorld members for their web sites because:

  • it is so compatible;

  • it is so easy to use

  • it gives you full control over everything;

  • Point2 is a large community of over 180,000 networking residential real estate as well;

  • your residential properties will be googled from outer space.  More on this later;

  • ICIWorld has become an official distributor and educator of these web sites.

Why get the web site through ICIWorld? We are an official educator and provide technical and other support of the Standard Web Sites. Point2 only provides support for the Professional Version.

To see samples of these web sites in action that we have personally set up here are a few of the hundreds that have been set up:

You can also talk with us about making your web site look more residential or commercial or both. Web sites may come to you looking residential or commercial but we change them to personalize it to your business ie: residential or commercial or both.

Remember web sites are like billboards.  If you have more than one making you money then why not? There are special advantages to link them together.  There are special advantages to search engine optimize them.

Once you have received the web site you must contact us or send an email with your web site address, log in id, and password by EMail click here.

Your first order of business is to find the EMail that we sent to you from ICIWorld and Point2 Invitation.

  1. Go to bottom of the bottom of the EMail and you will see a link with your first and last name . point2agent.com Click on it.

  2. You must click on the link and you will listen and see a welcome video which will start to introduce you to the powerful tools of this very special real estate web site and how to get started.

  3. After seeing the video you will be provided with a user name and a temporary password and two links, one to your new web site and one that goes directly to your log in page.

  4. YOU MUST WRITE DOWN YOUR USER NAME AND TEMPORARY PASSWORD.

  5. Click on the one that goes direct to your log in page.

  6. Click on the top choice with a big P2 on it and enter your username and temporary password.

  8. Enter a new password. Please keep the same password as you have on ICIWorld until we have totally set up your web site. We will be setting it up for you.

  9. We need your new password and user name sent to us to support @ iciworld.net and we need you to call us at 416-840-6227 Janet, between 10am-3pm.

  10. We provide a one time 30 minute orientation for every member that starts. Without this orientation your probably will not know how to fully take advantage of all the money making features and the most powerful tools of the Internet.

  11. You have three months free to get this web site working successfully for you.

  12. We know they work from experience. If it is not working for you call us for assistance.

  13. After that it will be $19.95 per month. Most pay the $199/year option. If you had it for ten years for $199 per year that would be $2,000 for 10 years. Just one referral or some business for $5,000 just paid for it for 20 years.

  14. See the Training Videos. Go to www.iciworld.net click on Member Management click on Training Videos on the left.

  15. Look for Segment 4 Web Site Workshop. Look for Getting Started Guide and the link

  16. Look for Training Videos for Web Site and click on view the entire list of videos. If you have missed the Introduction Video it will be the first choice. It is good to learn the index so that when you need assistance you can look it up. IE: if you want to add a listing, look for Create Listing Video.  Videos are available for all subjects about your web site and how to operate it.

  17. Here is an online manual for the web site and here is a manual that you can download (in pdf format). Web sites are one of the most powerful real estate Internet Tools.  Learn how to make them work. We will help you every step of the way.

  18. After your web site is totally set up, you will have a powerful web site with thousands of listings that can generate leads.  However if you do not get traffic you still will not get calls.  You then must see the video Segment 5 How To Promote Your Web Site.

  19. SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization. After your web site is totally set up, with all the listings, domain name, etc. with Janet you should call me personally and I will go over some further Search Engine Optimization techniques and show you programs that can take it to the highest levels of SEO. Some hire people for $1,000 per month to do this where they spend $700 per month on pay per click advertising and keep the balance for themselves or I can show you a program on how to do it yourself and benefit 100% from your expenditure on generating traffic. Budget for pay per click can start as low as $20 per month.  Our goal is to help you be on the first or second page for your market area and specialty in a natural fashion. With the combination of listings on your web site in a way that you get the calls it is absolutely inevitable that you will generate leads off the Internet.

  20. After sending us your username and password to log in to your web site, the next most important thing to do is listen to the video call Segment 7 Domain Names. Then call us and we will help you design your first domain name together.

  21.
