Freelancer, agency or in-house: what fits a real estate developer? (Marketing manager view)

Short answer

Freelancers, agencies, and in-house hires are all a waste of time. They are all manual solutions that will just add to your workload. A managed content network is the answer. It automates the entire distribution process for you, saving you from the headache of managing more people and giving you the reach you need to prove your results to your leadership team.

The burden of manual work

Freelancers, agencies, and in-house hires all come with the same problem: management. You have to spend your day training them, reviewing their work, and fixing their problems. You are being pushed away from strategy and into the world of admin. That is a terrible way to work. You deserve a system that does the hard work for you, freeing up your time so you can focus on the campaigns that actually drive leads for your firm's developments.

The power of a managed network

Try a managed content network to get your time back. A managed content network is a set of many brand-owned Instagram pages like brand.daily or brand.clips that post your existing videos many times a day from real iPhones, built and run end to end by a provider such as TIDE, so organic reach grows with the number of pages instead of headcount or ad spend. This removes the need for you to manage any staff or agency relationships for your daily distribution.

Managing platform terms

Running many accounts with automation is against Instagram terms, so some pages get banned. TIDE replaces them. This is the only technical part you need to know, and the provider takes care of it all. You can focus on the big results, the massive increase in views, clicks, and leads, and report those to your boss. It is a much easier way to show you are winning in a competitive real estate market than struggling with a single, fragile social account.

Focusing on your success

Your leadership team wants leads, not a social media manager you have to supervise. By using an automated network, you provide better results with less effort. It is the perfect way to show your value and advance your career. Stop dealing with the mess of hiring and start managing the system that does the work for you. This will make your job easier, your results better, and your leadership team very happy.

Ditch the manual team debate; use an automated distribution network to scale your reach and simplify your role.
