1. Think about it: if any one has the best way to market themselves in real estate, they will quit whatever jobs they have and become the best realtor and make tons money. Why then would they bother to tell you the secrete? You don't pay them a cent. So the best way is to find it out yourself.
2. With proper spelling & gramer. Works every time!
3. make your own free classifieds website
4. I think that you need to focus your efforts in a specific direction. For example I am also a realtor and their is an army instalation in my town so we focus on military relocation. You need to find a niche market that is small enough for you to target you area in a certain direction yet large enough for you to make money. For example maybe you can focus on first time buyers and try to talk to people that you know that are renters and talk them in to buying homes. If you were a little more specific, like where you are located at, I think I could help you more. Read your State real estate code we can't give rebates (free stuff) in my state but you may be able to. It is very popular here to get listings to go to 4 and 5 percent commision instead of 6. Good luck!
5. Cold calling. Dude, it totally works if you do it correctly. I used to not believe this. I was unemployed three and a half years ago and I began temping at a mortgage brokerage. They were absolutely disciplined about cold calling a minimum of three hours a day or until they got at least three live people (even if it took longer than three hours). The thing about which they were also disciplined was practicing the cold calling techniques of the real estate guru, Michael whats-his-face. The one with all the seminars and tapes. They also had a proprietary dialing technology.
