4 Easy Video Ideas for Real Estate Agents Who Don’t Know What to Post15 sept. 202600:03:45

Do you ever sit down to create content and immediately think, “I have no idea what video to make?"

You’re not alone – and creating video content doesn’t have to be complicated. In this episode of The Katie Lance Podcast, I’m sharing four simple types of videos that real estate agents can keep in their back pocket and rinse and repeat throughout the month.

We’ll talk about:

– Simple B-roll videos you can create from clips already on your phone
– How to create a “day in the life” video without filming every second of your day
– Why an end-of-month recap is one of my favorite low-lift pieces of content
– Why talking directly to the camera is still one of the most powerful things you can do to build trust and generate business
– How batching your videos can make consistency so much easier


Here’s the big reminder: people want to hear from YOU.


AI can help you brainstorm, optimize and save time – but it shouldn’t replace your voice. If you want your content to help you stand out, build relationships and ultimately generate leads, people need to get a sense of who you are and what you’re all about.

You don’t need fancy equipment. You don’t need every video to be perfect.


Done is better than perfect!


Which of these four video ideas are you going to try first?

#GetSocialSmart Academy Spotlight: Deborah Wess on Consistency, Confidence & Simple Video Habits09 sept. 202600:07:36

What if getting better at social media and video wasn’t about doing more – but about getting comfortable doing the simple things consistently?

In this #GetSocialSmart Academy Spotlight, I’m chatting with Deborah West, a Broker Associate in the Chicagoland area, longtime Academy member, and Mastermind attendee.

Deborah and I talk about her journey with social media, what she’s learned through the Academy, and why “done is better than perfect” continues to be such an important reminder.

We also get into something I think a lot of real estate professionals can relate to: social media keeps changing! Deborah shares a funny “reverse aha moment” from our Mastermind when she arrived with a detailed content plan – only to hear me say that my recommendations had evolved. 😄

That’s the reality of marketing today. What worked a few years ago – or even last year – may not be what I recommend today. Being willing to learn, adjust, and keep moving forward is so important.

One of my favorite parts of our conversation is Deborah’s advice for anyone nervous about video. Her suggestion? Start by sending simple birthday videos.

No editing. No posting publicly. No pressure.

Just a quick “Happy birthday!” video sent privately to someone you know.

It’s such a simple way to get used to seeing yourself on camera, hearing your voice, and building the habit of recording video. Think of it as training wheels for video!

In this episode, we talk about:

– Why consistency matters more than perfection
– How the Academy has impacted Deborah’s business and marketing
– The value of community, accountability, and ongoing learning
– Why your social media strategy needs to evolve
– Deborah’s experience attending our Mastermind
– Why investing in yourself can be one of the best investments in your business
– A simple way to start building your video confidence today

Whether you’re brand new to social media or you’ve been creating content for years, I hope Deborah’s story reminds you that you don’t have to have everything figured out.

Start small. Stay consistent. Keep learning.

And remember – done is better than perfect!

How to Find Your Voice on Social Media as a Real Estate Agent08 sept. 202600:02:04

How do you find your voice on social media – especially when it feels like everyone else is already saying the same things?

In this episode, I’m talking about something I believe is incredibly important when it comes to social media, video, personal branding, and even using AI: knowing what YOUR voice actually sounds like.

Finding your voice doesn’t mean coming up with the perfect tagline or trying to create some polished version of yourself. It starts with getting clear about who you are, who you want to work with, what matters to you, and the experiences that have shaped you.

I’m breaking it down into four simple questions you can ask yourself:

  • Who do you love working with?
  • Who isn’t the right fit for you?
  • What matters to you personally and professionally?
  • What is your journey, and how did you get to where you are today?

For my real estate friends, this is especially important. There are thousands of agents creating content every day. Your voice, your perspective, your personality, and your experiences are what can help your content stand out.

You don’t need to sound like everyone else. You also don’t need every video to be perfectly polished. The ums, the ahs, your sense of humor, your interests, your stories – those are all part of what makes you human and relatable.

And as we use more AI in our businesses and marketing, I think knowing your own voice is going to become even more important.

If you’ve been struggling with what to post, how to show up, or how to make your content sound more like YOU, this episode is a great place to start.

IN THIS EPISODE:

00:00 Finding Your Voice
00:21 Your Ideal People
00:45 Who Not To Serve
01:02 Values And Interests
01:33 Share Your Journey
01:53 Wrap Up And Engage

How the #GetSocialSmart Academy Helped Realtor Debbie Teeter Build Confidence & Improve Her Social Media02 sept. 202600:07:33

What happens when a Realtor goes from feeling nervous about social media to confidently marketing herself online?

In this #GetSocialSmart Academy Spotlight, I sit down with longtime Academy member Debbie Teeter, a Realtor serving Metro Atlanta, the surrounding suburbs, and North Georgia.

Before joining the Academy, Debbie was relatively new to social media and had tried marketing services that automatically posted content for her. But she realized something was missing – she wasn’t getting the traction, engagement, or connection she wanted.

That’s when she decided to take a more hands-on approach to her social media marketing.

In our conversation, Debbie shares how the #GetSocialSmart Academy has helped her build confidence, improve her marketing, and continue learning as social media platforms and tools evolve.

We talk about:

✨ How Debbie went from feeling nervous about social media to posting consistently
 ✨ Why automated, generic social media content wasn’t working for her
 ✨ How ongoing education helped build her confidence as a Realtor
 ✨ Why she attends #CoffeeWithKatie almost every week
 ✨ How she uses the Academy’s monthly content calendars and carousel ideas
 ✨ Why Canva Camp is one of her favorite Academy events each year
 ✨ The value of Masterclasses, replays, workbooks, and ongoing training
 ✨ Why community and accessibility matter when learning social media
 ✨ Debbie’s advice for Realtors considering joining the Academy

One thing I especially love about Debbie’s story is that it’s a reminder that you don’t need to grow up with social media to become great at it. You can learn, practice, build confidence, and find a marketing style that feels like you.

How to Audit Your Social Media Content Before Building a Strategy01 sept. 202600:03:17

How do you build a smart social media strategy if you don’t know what’s already working?

Before you decide to post more, jump onto another platform, or completely overhaul your content strategy, take a step back and audit your social media presence.

In this podcast, I’m sharing a simple social media audit you can do to understand where you are now, what needs updating, what content is performing, and where you should focus your time moving forward.

You’ll learn:

📍 How to Google yourself and see what potential clients are finding
 📍 Why your social media profiles, photos, bios, links, and brokerage information need to be updated
 📍 How to decide which social media platforms deserve your attention
 📍 Why you don’t need to be everywhere
 📍 How to ask your database where they spend time online
 📍 Which social media analytics actually matter
 📍 How to review your top-performing content from the last 30, 60, and 90 days
 📍 Why reach, engagement, comments, shares, and consistency can help shape your future strategy

This is especially important for Realtors, real estate agents, entrepreneurs, and small business owners who want to create a more intentional social media and content marketing strategy.

Remember: You don’t need more random content. You need to understand what’s working, what isn’t, and what your audience actually wants before you build your plan.

How Betti Russo Built Confidence & Visibility with Video | #GetSocialSmart Academy Spotlight26 août 202600:13:13

How can video help you build more confidence, visibility, and connection in your real estate business?

In this #GetSocialSmart Academy Spotlight, I sit down with longtime Academy member and North Jersey real estate broker associate Betti Russo to talk about her journey with social media, video marketing, confidence, and building a recognizable personal brand.

Betti shares the story of one of her first Facebook Lives – when I encouraged her to step outside during one of our Napa Masterminds, hit the LIVE button, and just go for it. That one moment helped change the trajectory of how she showed up online.

Today, Betti says people regularly tell her, “I see you everywhere.” Her consistency on social media and video has helped her become more visible in her North Jersey community, get more involved locally, teach others, and even walk into listing appointments with greater confidence.

In this conversation, we talk about:

* How Betti went from being afraid of video to confidently showing up on camera
* Why video builds skills that go far beyond social media
* How consistency can make you more recognizable in your local market
* Why authenticity matters more than looking or sounding “perfect”
* How social media can help Realtors build stronger relationships
* The importance of community, connection, and continuing education
* Why Betti has remained a #GetSocialSmart Academy member for years
* How the Academy helps real estate professionals keep up with an ever-changing marketing landscape

One of my favorite reminders from this conversation: Your clients already know what you look and sound like. You don’t need to become someone else to succeed on video. You just need to get comfortable being YOU.

What to Post When You Have Nothing to Post (3 Easy Video Ideas)25 août 202600:04:09

What do you post when you have absolutely nothing to post?

If you’re a Realtor, entrepreneur, or small business owner who knows you need to show up consistently on social media – but some days you just don’t know what to say – this video is for you.

I’m sharing three simple, low-lift content ideas you can use when you’re feeling uninspired, overwhelmed, or just not in the mood to create another piece of content.

In this video, you’ll learn:

* How to turn client, colleague, and local business shout-outs into engaging content
* Why simple B-roll of your neighborhood or community can make great social media content
* How to share what you’re working on without oversharing your personal life
* How to batch simple videos ahead of time
* Why your content doesn’t always have to be promotional
* How to stay consistent without posting every single day

One of my favorite ideas? Give someone else the spotlight.

So much real estate content is “Look at me! Look at my listing! Look at my award!” Instead, highlight a great client, lender, local business, team member, or someone else in your community. Give people their flowers!

And remember: great content doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes a 10-second video of your neighborhood, a cup of coffee, or a quick behind-the-scenes look at what you’re working on is enough.

If social media, video, and AI feel overwhelming and you’d like a simpler plan for your real estate business, I’d love to have you inside the #GetSocialSmart Academy.

How to Use AI for Social Media Captions (Without Sounding Like a Robot)19 août 202600:04:05

AI can help you write social media captions faster… but if you’re copying and pasting exactly what ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini gives you, people can usually tell.

In this video, I’m sharing how I use AI to help write social media captions while still making sure the finished post sounds like ME.

I’ll walk you through my actual process - from giving AI a video transcript or quick description to reading the caption out loud, shortening it, changing the hook, cleaning up emojis and adding my own personality back in.

You’ll learn:

* How I use ChatGPT to help write social media captions
* Why I never blindly copy and paste AI-generated content
* The read-it-out-loud trick I use before posting
* What I almost always delete from AI captions
* How I personalize hooks and calls to action
* Why adding opinions, personality and imperfections matters
* How to make AI-generated content sound more human
* Why sometimes I skip AI and write the caption myself

AI should help you communicate your ideas - not make everyone sound exactly the same.

The goal isn’t to make AI write like a human. The goal is to use AI as a starting point and then make sure the final content sounds like YOU.

👇 How are you using AI for your captions? Do you edit heavily, use it as a starting point or write everything from scratch? Let me know in the comments!

My Favorite Content Creation Apps I Use Every Day12 août 202600:05:38

What apps do you actually need to create great social media content?

In this video, I’m sharing the content creation apps I use just about every day on my iPhone - from recording and editing videos to creating Reels, organizing B-roll, repurposing content and using AI to speed up my workflow.

The good news? You don't need dozens of apps to create great content!

I’m a big believer in keeping your content creation process simple. Your phone can do a LOT on its own, and a few go-to apps can make creating, editing and repurposing content so much easier.

In this podcst, I share how I use:

📱 DualShot Recorder to record horizontal and vertical video at the same time
🎥 My iPhone camera for quick videos and B-roll
✂️ CapCut for video editing, templates and transitions
📸 Instagram and TikTok's native creation tools
💼 LinkedIn for repurposing short-form video
▶️ YouTube and YouTube Studio for uploading and checking analytics
🎨 Canva for downloading graphics and carousels I've created
🤖 ChatGPT and other AI tools for captions, ideas and content support

I also share some of my favorite simple content workflows - including how I organize B-roll, batch four or five videos at once, turn everyday moments into content and repurpose one video across multiple platforms.

If you're a Realtor, small business owner or content creator who feels like content creation takes way too much time, I hope this gives you a few ideas to simplify your process!

In this video you'll learn:
• How to use Instagram's new Link Reel feature
• Where to find it when publishing a Reel

The No-Burnout Content Batching System Every Realtor Needs | Katie Lance and Kelly Noble Mirabella30 juil. 202600:32:36

Feeling like social media has become a full-time job?

In this episode of The Katie Lance Podcast, I sit down with my longtime friend Kelly Noble Mirabella to talk about her new book, The No Burnout Batching System, and how Realtors can create consistent content without working around the clock.

Kelly shares the exact mindset and systems that helped her recover from burnout, build a four-day workweek, and create months of content in advance—all while growing her business.

If you've ever felt overwhelmed trying to keep up with social media, this conversation is packed with practical ideas you can implement right away.

In this episode we discuss:

• Why working harder isn't the answer to better marketing
• The content batching system every Realtor should use
• How to create a month of content in just one or two days
• The biggest mistakes agents make with social media
• Why you don't need fancy equipment or perfect videos
• Building a library of local B-roll
• Creating content that actually helps buyers and sellers
• Using AI to speed up content creation—without sounding like AI
• How to create better hooks and scripts with Claude and ChatGPT
• Why your niche matters more than ever
• Setting boundaries that help you avoid burnout
• The power of planning ahead and staying consistent

One of my favorite reminders from Kelly:

"Consistency and frequency are not the same thing."

You don't need to post every day. You need a simple system you can actually stick with.

How to Reorder Your Instagram Grid (Without Editing or Pinning Posts)29 juil. 202600:02:48

Did you know you can now reorder your Instagram grid without editing, deleting, or pinning your posts?

This is one of my favorite Instagram updates because it gives you more control over how your profile looks when someone visits your page. Instead of being stuck with the order you originally posted, you can now move your best-performing content, organize a series, highlight evergreen posts, or push older content further down your grid.

In this video, I'll show you exactly how to use Instagram's Reorder Grid feature, where to find it, and why I think every Realtor, entrepreneur, and small business owner should be taking advantage of it.

You'll learn:
 • How to reorder your Instagram grid step-by-step
 • Where to find the Reorder Grid feature
 • How to move posts without editing or pinning them
 • Why bringing older content back to the top can increase engagement
 • How to organize educational content, listings, and personal posts
 • What to do if you don't see the feature yet

One of my favorite strategies is moving older posts that already performed well back into my top 9-12 posts. It's an easy way to give great content a second life without creating anything new.

The AI Tools I Actually Pay For as a Small Business Owner22 juil. 202600:08:13

With so many new AI tools launching every day, it can feel like everyone wants another monthly subscription.

So, what is actually worth paying for?

In this video, I’m sharing the AI tools I currently pay for as a small business owner and content creator – including ChatGPT, Gemini, Canva, Descript, CapCut and a few platforms that have AI features built into them.

I’m also sharing how I use these tools in my business, which AI features save me the most time and why I’m not paying for every popular tool on the market.

For me, AI is not about replacing my voice, my content or my creativity. It is about saving time, improving the content I am already creating and helping me work more efficiently while still showing up as myself.

In this video, we’ll talk about:

• Why I continue to pay for ChatGPT
• How Gemini fits into our Google Workspace
• The Canva AI tools I use most often
• How Descript saves me hours editing videos and podcasts
• Whether CapCut counts as an AI tool
• The AI features included in Kajabi and Zoom
• Why I am not currently paying for Claude
• The difference between creating with AI and optimizing with AI
• Why you should never blindly copy and paste AI-generated content
• The importance of discernment when using AI for your marketing

I would love to hear from you: Which AI tools are you currently paying for? Which ones are completely worth the investment – and which ones have you canceled?

Also, should I finally upgrade to the paid version of Claude? Send me a DM!

Why Most Realtors Still Aren't Using Video (And How to Start Today) 15 juil. 202600:06:44

Everyone seems to be talking about AI, automation, and the latest marketing tools—but what if you're still not comfortable recording a simple video?

In this episode, I'm sharing an honest conversation about one of the biggest challenges I see among real estate professionals today: the fear of getting on camera. If you've been telling yourself you're "not a video person," this episode is for you.

I share practical, encouraging advice to help you build confidence one small step at a time—including why one-to-one videos are the perfect place to start, why you don't need fancy equipment or a perfect script, and how authenticity will always outperform perfection.

We'll also talk about:

  • Why confidence comes from doing, not waiting
  • How to practice video without posting publicly
  • Why one-to-one videos can help you build confidence quickly
  • My simple approach to recording content without overthinking it
  • How batching videos can save you time and reduce stress
  • Why your clients want to connect with the real you—not a polished influencer version of you

If you've been waiting until you feel "ready" to start creating video, I hope this episode encourages you to simply hit record. Your future clients don't need perfection—they need your expertise, your heart, and your willingness to show up.

Not Feeling Creative? Try These 3 Content Creation Hacks01 juil. 202600:02:59

Ever sit down to create content... and just not feel like it?

You're not alone! In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on a recent content creation session where I had the time, the plan, and the house all to myself - but absolutely no motivation to hit record.

Instead of giving up, I walked through a simple process that helped me get out of my creative rut and ultimately record multiple videos. From finding inspiration (without copying), to revisiting frequently asked questions, to digging through my camera roll for B-roll I could repurpose, these are practical strategies you can use anytime you're feeling stuck.

If you've been waiting to "feel inspired" before creating content, this episode is your reminder that consistency often comes before motivation- not the other way around.

In this episode, you'll learn:
• What to do when you don't feel like creating content
• How to find inspiration without comparing yourself to others
• Why your camera roll might be your best content resource
• How low-lift content can build momentum
• Why creating consistently is one of the best lead generators for your business

AI Doesn’t Have to Be Overwhelming (Here’s What Actually Works for Realtors)31 mars 202600:06:29

In this episode, I’m giving you a behind-the-scenes look at one of our recent #CoffeeWithKatie community calls inside the #GetSocialSmart Academy. We’re diving into one of the biggest topics right now - AI - and breaking it down in a way that actually feels simple and doable.

If you’ve been thinking, “I know I should be using AI… but I’m not sure how,” you’re not alone. 

I’m sharing real conversations from agents, practical ways to use tools like ChatGPT and Canva AI in your day-to-day business, and why the goal isn’t to replace you - it’s to support you.

We also talk about why authenticity matters more than ever, how to create a simple content workflow, and how to turn one idea into multiple pieces of content without feeling overwhelmed.

Plus, I’m sharing details about a special limited-time AI bundle designed to help you get started quickly - with no guesswork.

And as always, a reminder that while AI is powerful… community is everything. ❤️

How to Turn One Video Into 10 Pieces of Content with Descript17 mars 202600:10:30

In this episode of The Katie Lance Podcast, I’m sharing highlights from a recent #CoffeeWithKatie class all about Descript and AI video editing.


If video editing feels like the part that slows you down, this episode is for you. I’m walking through why video still matters so much for real estate, the biggest mistakes agents make when it comes to editing and repurposing content, and how I use Descript to save time and get more mileage from the videos I already create.

In this episode, I cover:

  • Why video is still one of the best ways to build trust
  • The real reason most agents get stuck with video
  • How to edit video by editing text
  • How to improve your audio and remove filler words with AI
  • How to turn one video into multiple clips and posts
  • Best practices for batching, repurposing, and keeping things simple

The goal is not to create more content from scratch. The goal is to work smarter, not harder and get more results from the videos you are already recording. If you’d like the full class, replay, slides, and checklist, you can grab the training here.

Gemini + Google Tools for Realtors: 9 Simple Workflows to Save Time10 mars 202600:11:00


AI tools are everywhere right now… but if you’re a Realtor, the real question is: how do you actually use them in your day-to-day business?


In this episode of The Katie Lance Podcast, I’m sharing a behind-the-scenes recap of a recent Coffee with Katie training where we explored how real estate professionals can use Gemini and Google tools to work smarter, save time, and simplify their workflow.

Many agents are already using Gmail, Google Docs, Google Sheets, and Google Drive every day. When you add Gemini into that ecosystem, those tools become a powerful productivity stack that can help you move faster without adding more complicated tech.

In this episode, I walk through nine practical workflows you can start experimenting with right away, from drafting listing descriptions to researching market trends and organizing content ideas.


Remember: AI should support your expertise — not replace it. Think of it as a first-draft assistant that helps you stay consistent and efficient during busy seasons.


If you’ve been curious about AI but want practical, real-world examples for real estate professionals, this episode is for you.

Leads Don’t Come From Posting. They Come From Systems17 févr. 202600:06:38

If you feel like you’re constantly posting on social media but not getting the leads you want, you’re not alone. And the problem isn’t that you need more content.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the biggest shift I’m seeing right now in real estate marketing. The agents who are getting results are not posting more. They are building simple, repeatable systems that create consistency, visibility, and trust over time.

We’ll talk about why random acts of marketing don’t work, how to stop reinventing your content every week, and the three core systems every real estate professional needs to generate leads without burnout. I’ll also share where video, AI, and relationship-driven marketing fit into today’s landscape and why connection is outperforming perfection.

If you’re ready to stop feeling overwhelmed and start marketing smarter, this episode will help you focus on what actually moves the needle.

Taking the Online Offline: Connection, Consistency & Instagram in 2026 (life + biz update)03 févr. 202600:11:04

In this episode, I’m coming to you a little tired, very real, and recording late from my hotel room in New York City.

I almost skipped recording this week, but consistency has been a big focus for me in 2026, especially with the podcast. So instead of a perfectly planned episode, I’m sharing an off-the-cuff check-in and some behind-the-scenes of what’s been going on lately.

I talk about traveling between Portland, Oregon and New York City, speaking at events, college visits with my oldest son, and pulling off a big surprise for my dad by officially joining Rotary. I also share why community, face-to-face connection, and taking the online offline feels more important than ever right now.

I give a preview of my upcoming talk at Inman Connect in New York, where I’m sharing what’s actually working on Instagram right now, especially when it comes to Reels, Stories, and DMs. If you’re a real estate agent or business owner who doesn’t want to be a full-time content creator, this conversation is for you.

We also talk about navigating social media during heavy or uncertain times, leaning into who you are instead of chasing trends, and why no app, tool, or AI can ever replace you.

This episode is part personal check-in, part behind-the-scenes, and part reminder that real connection still matters.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Why I almost skipped recording this podcast (and why I didn’t)
  • Traveling for speaking gigs and college visits
  • Speaking at Inman Connect New York
  • What’s actually working on Instagram right now
  • Reels, Stories, and DMs for real estate professionals
  • Why connection beats perfection on social media
  • Taking the online offline in 2026
  • Joining Rotary and getting involved in local community
  • Navigating content during heavy or uncertain times
  • Why there’s no app or AI tool that can replace you

If you enjoyed this episode, I’d love to hear from you. Send me a DM on Instagram, leave a review, or share this episode with a friend who needs a reminder that showing up as yourself still wins.

Thanks for listening, and I’ll see you on the next episode!
