If You Do Only One Thing in 2024, Make It This

Welcome to 2024! We are getting close to a week into the new year. How are you feeling about your progress on your goals? Do you feel that you are falling behind already or working strong? Will you will be able to sustain what you are doing or are you likely to go off-track when you get busy?

This time of year has a lot of agents planning on what they want for their business in the upcoming year. I keep my eye on what agents are saying in online agent business groups and I have noticed a new year trend of agents asking agents what they are doing (or plan to do) to successfully generate leads this 2024.

The challenge is, I see a lot of suggestions out there that may work for one agent, but that won't work for everyone. Other ideas sound good on paper, but in reality, they don't bring in the promised business because they aren't the right lead generation strategy for that area or type of product. Suggestions like these cause agents to doubt what they are doing and think the grass is greener elsewhere.

Case in point. There was a post yesterday in one of these groups that asks what agents who close more than 50 transactions a year are doing to generate leads. The answers included:

Online lead generation for paid leads

Cold calling and door knocking

Instagram posts

Past clients and intentional relationships

Mailers to a farm area

Social media via AI-generated content

Google Pay-Per-Click

Creating YouTube videos

Putting one's brand on hoodies, coffee cups, and sponsoring local events

Non-owner-occupied campaigns

Expired listing campaigns

FSBO campaigns

And many more

As much as I was concerned about agents thinking that the secret to success is outlined in someone else's business plan, I still loved this question and the answers that agents provided. Why? Because this proves my point that:

Lead generation works.

The key is finding the right lead generation strategy for yourself.

The basic secret is to actually execute consistently!

If you need to get your pipeline filled for 2024, then you need to have a plan. Each one of the above lead generation strategies can work if there is a plan that is executed consistently. It really is that straight-forward, folks!

Let the Professionals Guide Your Business Marketing This Year

Check out our LeadMagnet program or email solutions@thelonesgroup.com for more info.

Since so many agents are out there asking the same question, "What is successful lead generation?" That makes me think there are a number of you are working without a plan. Or perhaps you have a plan, but are doubting your plan and want to throw in the towel. If your plan has worked in the past and is relationship-based, don't throw in the towel. Maintain that plan but add something else for the time-being if your pipeline is looking a little empty.

For example, if your 2023 plan included:

Connecting with your database and past clients

Mailing to a farm area

Being active in your local community

Creating video content

Connecting with FSBOs or expired listings

My recommendation is to CONTINUE with your plan. Don't abandon it just because your pipeline isn't where you want it. Walking away from a lead generation strategy that you have been working is like walking away from a field of corn in mid-June that you planted in early spring. Of course, it hasn't produced yet, but come August, those seeds you have planted will sustain you. Add something else, but don't give up the work and resources you have already put into your original campaign.

The only exception to this rule is paid online leads. It is good to really evaluate these lead generation sources every six months or so since technology and online behavior can change quickly and this is more of a funnel that can be turned on-and-off.

I will also say, if your lead generation plan doesn't include some aspect of being in front of people, I have concerns about its effectiveness. If you are hiding at home and doing a bunch of busy-work under the title of, "lead generation," but you aren't actually making genuine connections with people, you may be fooling yourself.

So, what is the #1 thing I am recommending agents do in 2024? Stick with your lead generation source or define your lead generation plan and EXECUTE CONSISTENTLY! THAT IS IT! Lead generation will work if you work it.

THE TALK

warning: yandere!isekai!crown prince, he is very mean in this, female reader

a/n: this is TECHNICALLY not a part two to the introduction but it sort of is….. it jumps from the conversation to the breakfast……..enjoy! ALSO ALSO ALSOOOOOOOO technically its female reader bc you got reincarnated blah blah

looking at the fragments of bacon he didnt want to eat, he let his fingers drum against the edge of the white plate. the fact that you, the daughter of a whore, lover to none, and nuisance to all, was right beside him made his food hard to swallow. the two of you sat in the dining room, and while he sat at the very end of the table with his back facing the door to the kitchen, your usual spot would be that of the opposite side. right across from him, back facing the entering door, but it seems after the poison didn’t hit quite deep enough in your veins, it did affect your brain because, for some reason, you thought it was brilliant to sit directly next to him. you weren’t as talkative as he would have thought of you, ever since you have learned of the activities he had decided to partake in, you started to demand his attention. at first, it didnt bother him much, since he himself started to believe that he was focusing solely on gracie that your suspicions were bound to grow, and grow they did.

for weeks, months, up until the poisoning you were all up on him. he was certain that you were attempting to skin him alive and wear him as a coat it was all mildly unpleasant but more irritating. saer never had a taste for you; rather, he actually hated you. to no one’s fault but his own fathers, he was forced to marry you out of pregnant promises. your father, sir tudor, wasn’t the poorest dope saer’s father has ever seen, but he was the loyalist. he worked on the gwynn estate, doing a multitude of things for the family, automatically gaining the trust of the duke and then the king himself. at the time, king gwynn was more fascinated with how a man with such little knowledge could become his most loyalist man, but that he did. following the pregnancy of both the queen and your mother, he decided that the best course of action was to marry his second unborn son off to the unborn daughter of a freeloader.

an icy shiver runs down saer’s back, forcing him to shake his shoulders and head. looking up from your half eaten plate, raising your head to the sudden movement. he was quiet the whole time, poking at the small slivers of bacon like they were the nastiest things on earth. you werent surprised that he wasnt talking; no, you were actually relieved. it wasn’t because he wasnt attractive or anything, he certainly does look like the main lead; its just the talk you had prior to the breakfast that was replaying in your head. cynthia and amanda didn’t give you much information, since, from the looks of it, they didn’t want to say too much. either their heads were on the line or yours were. you never thought about asking tily, even though she was the one that brought you down here. it just felt too weird knowing she was the one who weirdly had something against you. from your fading memories of ‘obsession falls’, you remember reading online forums and tweets about the whole thing. it seemed like the only real crime edina committed throughout the whole book was wanting her husband to love her. she did everything he had asked of her, from the way she talked to her style of clothing, even to what letters she can reply to. in olden standards, she seemed like the perfect obedient wife. this might have been your first mistake, but you didn’t read too much on saer or his backstory, so you never really understood the reasoning for his hatred of his wife, but you knew it was deep and it was boiling.

clearing your throat, you believed it was a better time than ever to clear the air and get to your point. you never understood why edina allowed things to get as deep as they were, but she was made just to be killed. it sucks that no matter what you do or say, saer will always hate you because you are edina.

“saer,”

“ae.”

that stupid nickname. shutting your eyes tightly and fighting back against any light to seep through, you sighed heavily. the whole time, saer had been watching you carefully. even though it was from the corner of his eyes, he was indeed trying to calculate your next moves. it was kind of silly that your sudden change in physical response is making him antsy, but how can anyone fault him? the last time the air-headed cunt decided to change the way she was reacting, gracie was suddenly engaged to alastair and smiling in his face about it. it was enraging. other than the fact that you were in his life to begin with, knowing that the reason he couldn’t slit the throat of his ex best friend was all because you decided to breathe. those two minutes were the longest two minutes of his life. he watched as your head dropped down on the table, making a very sudden and loud noise with it. saer had sternly told any and all servants to leave the two of you be if any loud, disruptive noises were heard. he even double checked that he sent your nosey maids, cynthia and amanda, home around that time. he knew that if they were present in the building, you weren’t going to eat that poison.

it was infuriating to watch them care about someone as lowly as you. not just them, anyone. reading gracie’s letters, asking how you’ve been and to see you before she even utters a word about him, was beyond hurtful. it felt as if his whole world was falling apart, all because you decided to have superpowers and not die. this was the only way to get back at you. he has tried strangling you. he has tried slaying you. each attempt was caught by either maid, cynthia, or amanda. it made him sick to see you get dotted on. seeing the frilly outfits they were making you wear, as if you were a porcelain doll not worth anybody’s touch. you were disgusting. a disgusting being that deserved to die. so why. why were you here? why were you looking at him like he had done something wrong. 

“enough with the causalities, i would like a divorce saer.”

Thanks to Roysten the fish's cameo in the obscure storybook game "Goldilocks and Little Bear", I would like to know Daddylocks' Ryu number.

Goldilocks' father has a Ryu Number of 2.

(explanation/bonus below)

I'd normally leave it at that, but while researching I did come across a handful of interesting tidbits, so in acknowledgement of that and the Minecraft out is a bit of a wet fart, here's a bit more.

First is Roysten's cameo in Goldilocks and Little Bear, an interactive version of a children's picture book illustrated by Ed Bryan. Here's the cameo in question:

You will notice that it is, in fact, just a goldfish, which lines up with how Roysten is also just a goldfish.

So you'll forgive me if I was extremely skeptical that this wasn't just someone willing a cameo into existence.

...And it kinda still is, it just so happens that the someone in question is illustrator Ed Bryan, who happens to have a certain game series in his résumé.

This is all secondhand info, by the by. Bryan apparently stated that Little Bear's goldfish is Roysten in a post to the DK Vine forums, and the only reason I have to believe that is a comment referring to said post on a 2015 Source Gaming article, as the source post has been lost to the inevitability of link rot.

So if you count that (which I suppose I would because sure, why not), excluding that specific Minecraft link above, Goldilocks' father has a Ryu Number of 3.

If you don't, I did come up with an alternate route that goes through the Goldilocks in the Shrekiverse, but funnily enough, not the one in critically acclaimed depiction-of-panic-attack and animated movie Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, but a separate Goldilocks someone had to come up with to fill a licensed kart racing roster.

I suppose it's free real estate up until it isn't.

The sharp pen of Sibyl Moholy-Nagy (1903-71) was feared by many architects throughout the 1950s and 1960s: for Progressive Architecture, Architectural Forum, Casabella, Bauwelt, Architecture d’aujourd’hui and other periodicals she wrote about contemporary architecture and didn’t hold back her criticism. Unlike many of her colleagues Moholy reflected architecture historically and took a stand for users and inhabitants, a position out of which she criticized Mies van der Rohe’s „facade architecture“.

Her way to becoming an architectural critic, teacher and frequent lecturer nonetheless was stony: born the daughter of a Dresden architect then Sibylle Pietsch, unlike her brother, wasn’t allowed to go to university but instead began an apprenticeship in bookselling which she eventually quit to become an actor in Berlin. Although she acted in different films and plays she eventually became a screenwriter, a position that suited her passion for writing. In Berlin she also met her future husband Laszlo Moholy-Nagy whom she married in 1932 and with whom she went into exile in London and Chicago. Virtually in passing she also gave birth to two daughters.

The death of her husband in 1946, in spite of all the grief, fundamentally changed Sibyl’s life and forced her into an independence that she came to embrace ever more wholeheartedly: living off the occasional sale of her husband’s artworks she had the freedom to lecture on her Laszlo’s work, organize his estate but also write his biography which to this day remains a valuable source.

In 1952 José Luis Sert lured Sibyl to New York to teach architecture at Pratt Institute, a position she received also thanks to some fibs on her CV. With her distinct autodidactic curiosity she also pursued the research into anonymous vernacular architecture that resulted in the book „Native Genius in Anonymous Architecture“, published in 1957.

This adventurous and rich life has been recounted by Hilde Heynen in her lucid and highly readable biography, published in German by Sandstein in 2019, that paints a lively and differentiated picture of a female critic, writer and teacher who was a real rarity in her time.

Executives at big real estate companies profiting off and even driving up high real estate prices across Canada are listed as donors to the federal Conservative Party, Elections Canada records show.

Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre has been railing against high real estate prices and presenting himself as the solution to Canada’s housing affordability crisis, yet Poilievre’s party also appears to have received financial support from top executives at some of Canada’s biggest real estate investment trusts.

Housing experts and advocacy groups have blamed real estate investment trusts, or REITs, for the financialization of housing and skyrocketing rents across Canada. Property wealth is a massive source of inequality in BC and across the country.

The name of Richard Abboud, the CEO of an REIT called Forum Asset Management is listed as donating $7,875 to the federal Conservative party since 2017, according to Elections Canada records.

A Forum Asset Management property was recently criticized for a Vancouver viral video that showed a housing unit in a former single room occupancy hotel in the Downtown Eastside – that historically housed people at around shelter rates – was now a “micro suite” available for $2,000 a month. [...]

How can I get the news of my property sale easily to people through digital media?

To effectively spread the news of your property sale through digital media, you can follow these strategies:

Real Estate Websites and Platforms:

List your property on popular real estate websites such as Zillow, Realtor.com, Redfin, and Trulia. These platforms have a large audience and specific tools to highlight property details.

Social Media:

Facebook: Post on your personal profile, local community groups, and real estate groups. Use Facebook Marketplace to list the property for sale. Instagram: Share high-quality photos and videos using stories, posts, and reels. Use relevant hashtags like #HouseForSale, #RealEstate, and #YourCityName. Twitter: Share concise updates with links to your property listing. Use appropriate hashtags and tag relevant local real estate accounts. LinkedIn: Post on your profile and in relevant professional groups. Online Advertising:

Google Ads: Create targeted ads that appear to people searching for properties in your area. Facebook and Instagram Ads: Use the advertising tools to target potential buyers based on demographics, interests, and location.

Email Marketing:

Create an email campaign to send to your contacts, especially those who might be interested or know someone who is. Consider using email marketing services like Mailchimp or Constant Contact to reach a broader audience.

Virtual Tours:

Create a virtual tour using tools like Matterport or a simple video walkthrough. Share the tour on real estate websites, social media, and YouTube.

Real Estate Blogs and Forums:

Write a blog post about your property and share it on real estate blogs or forums like BiggerPockets. Engage in discussions and share your listing in a non-spammy manner.

Local Online Communities:

Post in local online communities, forums, and websites such as Nextdoor and Craigslist. Engage with local influencers or bloggers who might share your property listing with their followers.

Content Marketing:

Create content around your property, such as articles or videos about the neighborhood, local amenities, and the unique features of your property. Share this content across your social media channels and real estate platforms.

Collaborate with Real Estate Agents:

Even if you prefer to sell by owner, collaborating with real estate agents can give your property more visibility. They can share your listing with their network and on their digital platforms.

SEO Optimization:

Ensure that any property listing or blog post is optimized for search engines. Use keywords that potential buyers might search for, such as “house for sale in [Your City]”.

By leveraging these digital media strategies, you can reach a wide audience and increase the chances of selling your property quickly.

sewpahdewpah found this beautiful, unique 1963 home for sale in New Orleans, Louisiana. 2bds. 2ba. $899K

Would you expect to find a Roman inspired pool in this house?

I don’t know what they’re doing in this room- there’s a folding table & chairs set up, maybe for the real estate agent. It would make a beautiful sitting room, though.

Unique dining table and dining room. 

Not a big fan of the kitchen cabinets- they changed out the handles and they’re too fancy for flat front MCM style cabinetry. I’d probably paint them or give them MCM style handles with a retro vibe.

Nice bath except for the mirror wall. Sit on the toilet and stare at yourself? I don’t think so.

The main bedroom is very large. It has a whole living room area, elegant wood paneled walls, and a safari animal look. There is a track on the ceiling to close the room off with the door on the right.

But, look at the opposite wall in the next room- it looks like the entrance to a Roman forum. 

This room opens up to such a large space, there’s even an office.

This is nice- a bath/closet combo. 

The 2nd bd. is smaller, but it’s cozy. 

This is weird, I thought it was a bathroom, but someone figured out it’s the garage.  

And here we are back at the fabulous lap pool. 

There are 2 garages, but the open one is that storage room.

Alrightyyyyyyy! I need some help from my lovely FFXIV community members!

I've finally finished up my feedback about the face changes in the graphical update, but I can't post them on the official FFXIV forums myself because of that pesky old profanity permaban. I'll post it all here, so if one of you beautiful and wonderful people could copy and paste it over to the thread I'll link below I would really, really, really appreciate it.

It's been about 8 years since I could post there so I don't know the situation for posting images, but if you need me to host them someplace so you can use the necessary html, just let me know!

This was the thread I was hoping to post my feedback in, but if you see more that it would be helpful to add parts of it to or a different one you feel it's better suited for, feel free to paste it there as well!:

Add whatever note you want at the front to clarify that this is just a post made on behalf of another player! My own character info is: Nozomi Kei on the Balmung server, Crystal DC, NA

Feedback starts under the cut~

I'm going to try to cover everything I can find wrong and pray that at least the biggest issues are addressed, otherwise I may have to retire the character I've played for almost a decade. I will be talking primarily about face 2 male Duskwight Elezen, as that is what I play. Some of these issues might be present in all Melezen faces or isolated to face 2, but I wouldn't know unless one of you here has talked about it.

First, an issue several others have mentioned:  Face 2 Duskwight suddenly having the textures of a Wildwood; eyebags being especially noticable and unwanted.  I chose my character to be Duskwight specifically because I didn't want the eyebags.

Actually something seems off with all of the textures on face 2 Duskwight?  My previously powder-smooth, even-toned skin now has a mottled, almost artifacted appearance, same with the skin on the lips which have both mottling and oddly darkened edges on the lower lip especially.  The eyelid textures seem to have just straight up been placed wrong, with part of the weights snagging a section of the eyebrow down and leaving a notch during blinks.  The eyebrows also look like maaaybe they were misplaced and that's why they're thicker for some of us, because they're being stretched over a different area than intended that is bigger than their previous real estate.

The obvious texture stretching aside, the new eyelid has removed my faint eyeliner, and changed the gently pink lid to the same jaundiced beige as areas like the forehead. Eyelids are naturally pinker in real life because of the thin skin amd abundant blood vessels. This ties into the larger observation I've made about the changes to face skin textures for 7.0, which is that their color now looks unnaturally one-toned and even more lacking in the natural hue variation of living skin than the current faces.

A note on the eyebrows and lips that is more of a suspicion than confirmed, but I'm starting to feel like these features have just been outright homogenized? Perhaps in order to make applying morphs easier? Several people have made mention of their brows being straightened out and/or thickened. The elderly faced gentleman on page 12 posted by Cio had his magnificent, shapely brows reduced to mundanity. A lot of unique lip shapes are being changed in a consistent direction. The 'standard' shape is a strong cupid's bow on top with very pointed peaks, color wrapping around the corners of the mouth, a wide and shallowly curved underside to the bottom lip, and less fullness overall. Some are seeing their gently rounded peaks made pointy, others are seeing skinny-in-width bottom lips widened, folks with broad upper lips are being thinned. My little lift in the center underside of my bottom lip was flattened

My lips are also now weirdly dark by default, and trying to colorcorrect the unattractive mauvish beige leaves me looking like I'm wearing heavy lipstick. I think part of this is the change in how lips handle lighting, and part is the bad texture that was swapped in, plus the harsher edges to the liplines where previously there was a gentle, natural transition.

At first I thought I was imagining it before I imported my current settings, but now I am sure when I say my cute and small triangular ears whose shape added to the sharpness of my face have been made bigger and rounder. I made the smallest, most Tolkien elf ears I could because I wanted them to be subtle and elegant. This reshaping has added to the myriad changes that mean my character no longer looks like the same person.

While I can see changes to my beloved hook nose I will concede that at least in profile the shape is nearly identical. Like others observed there has generally been a lessening of the details that made the nose unique. Raised ridge, bigger septum, nostril shortening.

I'm going to try to list things out, starring the things that I think are issues that especially need to be changed/fixed because they are errors rather than just somewhat expected (if unwanted) differences caused by increased poly count and modelling changes.

☆☆• Face 2 Duskwight face textures have been swapped for Wildwood textures?

☆• Lips have been reshaped

☆• Eyebrows have been thickened

• Ears have been made bigger and more rounded in the middle and lobe regions

☆• Lips are darker by default which causes issues with lipstick

• The edges of lips have a hard edge instead of the previous gentle transition

☆• The bizarre 'milk mustache' above the upper lip

• My chin has been made bigger and more round in profile

• My lower lip has been plumped.

☆• Mottled skin textures, especially on my cheeks

• Very flat lip lighting/sheen

☆• Elongated dark smudges about 2cm long on either side of my mouth?

☆☆• Texture issues in eyelid region (very visible during blink animation)

• Harsher, darker eyelashes (not thicker from above though??)

• Lack of eyeshine and dark upper iris making my lids appear lower and changing my default expression

• Angular facial geometry in cheeks seems smoothed which changes the harsher look of the race (possibly just the faulty benchmark lighting)

• Hair lighting has changed; seems more matte, less hue variation between lit and shadowed areas

___

Changes I've seen in other players:

• Face skintone now seems very one-note and unalive

• Waxiness

• Harsher eye makeup that appears too dark or stark

• Removal of texture detail that was unique to individual faces, especially in eye regions

☆• Moon Miqo fangs drastically shortened

___

In seeing all of this unfold I've been dismayed to notice a lot of the unique charm of faces across the board being airbrushed away, from subtle shading in eye areas on various viera faces, to expressive and quirky default expressions being toned down and made more average in Elezen girls and Miqo girls, to wrinkles disappearing from older faces, to facial topology that created personality via cast shadows being rounded and smoothed and lightened into nonexistence. The result is consistently a more calm, mature, generic look. A lot of female characters' makeup has turned weirdly harsh, sharp-edged, and dark so that it more closely resembles stage makeup, both eye and lip. Then the awkwardly single-toned skin tops things off with me left feeling that very few looks are 'upgrades' even when the owner is happy with the result.

A couple side notes: Something odd is happening to the hairline on this style near the middle? Looks like an error. My racial gear necklaces have changed from a visible leather texture to some unidentifiable line-y texture?

I'm curious and I've gotta ask: do you know anything about the old MMORPG "Star Wars Galaxies"?

tl;dr it turned into a cautionary tale about chasing new users at the expense of alienating existing users, and among MMO gamers over a certain age, it's infamous

however, it's the exception, not the rule: the majority of the MMO market's history seems to show that a game and/or service -can- survive major changes, -if- those changes are gradual and continual, mixed with changes desired by the existing userbase, and not fully committing the product to a niche already filled by another company's product

that said, Tumblr doesn't have a lot of time to be gradual with its efforts to adapt, considering Automattic has already been nursing it at a loss since 2019...

but on the bright side, the current chaos among social media platforms offers some opportunities and wiggle room that never really opened up in the constantly overcrowded MMO market. like, some Tumblr users seem to think imitating Twitter in any way is a bad business plan, and they cite the fact Twitter is failing. but Twitter isn't failing because of its sidebar design, it's failing because of Elon Musk. imitating certain aspects of it is just free real estate at this point

funny you should mention SWG, i know it quite intimately. the official SWG forum was the first message board i ever joined, and i was highly active in that community for many years. up until very recently, i was still hosting a message board that was started as an SWG fan board. the people i know from that are some of the people i've known longest through the internet, and in my life actually, so it's close to my heart.

to unpack your thoughts here though, i think SWG is an interesting case study that actually supports our strategy, but really it doesn't quite fit because it's fundamentally a different model. MMOs are primarily subscription based (they were when SWG was out) or now freemium, and tumblr and most social media is funded by advertising. the underlying monetization mechanics are totally different, leading to totally different priorities.

if people on the internet were willing to pay to fully fund a social media network, either through a freemium model or a subscription, removing itself from VC funding and advertising, then the comparison between MMOs and social media platforms would make a little more sense. then it'd be much more easy for us, inside of tumblr, to prioritize existing paid customers, when those customers are a significant (or the primary) revenue stream. that would be pretty amazing!!!

and from my perspective, the "current chaos among social media platforms" is much smaller than it seems. i think the media just enjoys writing about this stuff, and overblowing it, and platforms like meta and tiktok are doing silly things mostly to grab that free attention. while certainly more people than ever are willing to try out other platforms, the raw numbers of how they retain / "stick" when they do make that move seem to be abysmal so far.

if anything, right now on the internet, the stage is perfectly set for something radically new to come along and completely blow away the incumbents, including meta and tiktok. i think web3 has already failed (thankfully), and AI is a tool (not a platform), and VR is too expensive and inaccessible, so something else is gonna pop up and become big. it's been a long while since a truly amazingly innovative product came along to shake the foundations of the internet. we're overdue.
