facebook fridays: Facebook Fridays - Make The Move From Victim To Victor!
- 04/12/17 12:23 PM
~ Facebook Marketing Tips ~
"Your apathy is the problem, not Facebook". That was what I was thinking earlier this week in a private FB group where numerous real estate pros started bashing Facebook (not sure why they stay on FB to be honest). Complaints ranged from: it is a time waster, no one gets biz from it, it is not secure enough, real clients do not use FB, too many stalkers, and even it is too hard to figure out. All valid points to some degree but only because we let it be that way. Let's stop being victims and instead become … (41 comments)

~ Facebook Marketing Tips ~
You know what is wonderful about social media marketing? We get to choose what we do, how we do it, and the frequency of those actions. Sometimes we have time constraints, a bias against using a particular platform, and occasionally we do not possess the technical skills to make it all work. We can even choose to do nothing at all. Whatever category we fall into, we all get to determine what works best for our biz model!

facebook fridays: Facebook Fridays - The Social Media Tree Is Ripe!
- 03/28/17 03:25 PM
~ Facebook Marketing Tips ~
No clue. None. That was me earlier this week as I was asked by a local agent to help with a specific aspect of their Facebook presence. I felt bad because I was not able to fully assist.
Despite our involvement with social media or perceived expertise, the reality is, there are times when we just do not have the answers. If you have felt that way about FB or some other social media platform, do not give up, because you are not alone! Keep working at it...the answers will come.

facebook fridays: Facebook Fridays - Frustrated, Fretting, or Finally!
- 03/22/17 02:28 PM
~ Facebook Marketing Tips ~
It can be incredibly difficult to keep up with all the social media trends, updates, and enhancements. It can be even more difficult to interpret and implement some of those changes. The best advice I can share with you is to take the time to learn as much about the change or process as you can, then take it slowly as you install/setup so you do not miss a step, and finally do some testing once completed to ensure you are getting the results you are expecting. Do that every time and avoid FB frustration!

Let's face it, for many of us it is very difficult to keep up with our social media marketing. It can be hard to find the time to socialize, promote, and engage let alone keep up with the nearly constant barrage of changes. While I cannot help you do the first 3 (perhaps a V.A. is needed?!) this weekly series does provide tips galore on how to best use existing and new FB features. Try out the advice, Rainers.

facebook fridays: Facebook Fridays - Getting A Time Slice of the Facebook Pie
- 03/01/17 03:21 PM
~ Facebook Marketing Tips ~
It is exciting when you get a Facebook IM or post from a follower who wants you to help them buy/sell a home. It is validation your approach and efforts are paying off. If this is not periodically happening to you, it may be time to re-evaluate your FB marketing techniques. That may include hiring someone short-term to get you back on the right path.
Did you know the average amount of time a FB user stays on the site is 20 minutes (according to Infodocket)? If you marketing on Facebook, you want a slice of that time!

The title is tongue-in-cheek so do not think I have let my modest FB success go to my head. In fact, I am always looking for new ways to improve my brand exposure and generate new prospects and you should be as well. We do it here in the Rain and on our own sites and it should be an actionable task we maximize on the social media platforms we use as well.

facebook fridays: Facebook Fridays - Honk If You Think I'm Sexy!
- 02/15/17 02:25 PM
~ Facebook Marketing Tips ~
Let's face it, one of the drawbacks of marketing on social media and having an online presence is the occasional appearance of creepers. Whether they text, call, IM, or send other messages, they can be a real nuisance. The best approach I have found is to ignore them, block them, and contact the social media outlet to have them removed. If you have found yourself in this situation, what approach did you take?
Hey...Did you notice Facebook made changes to their ads this past week (including the ability to use GIFs)? The News Feed algorithm got updated too.

Have you taken the time to update your FB profile lately? One of the first things serious consumers will check out is the "About" section of your profile. Go check yours out and make sure your phone number, address, website, etc. are all accurate and up-to-date. First impressions matter!
Quick FB Tip...Did you know you can join up to 6K Facebook Groups?
That is a lot of groups. While you do not need to max out your groups it is a good idea to join some local ones where you can engage with others. If none exist that you … (23 comments)

Did you know Facebook turns 13 tomorrow? In that short amount of time they have amassed nearly 1.9 billion monthly users and upwards of 1.2 billion daily mobile users.
The largest demographic of users are in the 25 to 34 age range and on average users spend 20 minutes on the platform per session (all statistics via zephoria.com). If we are actively trying to increase our brand exposure and grow our biz, can we really afford not to be on this platform?!

facebook fridays: Facebook Fridays - Learning to Stay Out of FB Trouble
- 01/25/17 02:30 PM
~ Facebook Marketing Tips ~
I have seen a lot of FB Personal Pages listed on AR profiles lately. Just a reminder that Facebook prefers we keep our business related information on our fan pages, not our personal FB profiles. They have been pretty lax about this area of their Terms-of-Service but you never know when/if they will start enforcing it. Follow their guidelines and it will never be an issue. Just sayin'!
Happy, Happy Happy! That's what I am this week as I get to showcase the 5 Rainer FB pages listed below. They range from establishing a foothold to advanced user. … (38 comments)

facebook fridays: Facebook Fridays - Nothing to Lose...Plenty to Gain
- 01/18/17 03:35 PM
~ Facebook Marketing Tips ~
It was a quiet week for me on Facebook. Other than interaction in a couple of closed groups, I did not do much promoting or interacting on my biz page. While I do not recommend that as a normal week, sometimes there are more important tasks that require our attention. If we have already built a solid Facebook foundation we can pick back up quickly and not miss a beat.
If you made a resolution or set goals to be more active on your Facebook biz page in 2017 are you still going strong? If you have stopped … (30 comments)

I was impressed earlier this week by an ActiveRain article by Pamela Cendejas that encouraged those using social media to engage with their followers. It is incredibly important if you want to grow your followership! Pamela also provides solid advice on ways to stay top-of-mind, regardless of platform you are using. If you have not yet seen her featured article, you can find it here. Stop by and learn how to increase your SM success.
I have seen a lot of social media advice (some of it counter-productive) freely given around the Web lately. Much of it has been centered around Facebook. While it is great to ask … (27 comments)

First, a huge THANKS to Beth Atalay for stepping in and doing a great job with Facebook Fridays last week...Thanks Girl! If you don't already follow Beth's blogs you definitely should mosey on over and become a fan.
Happy New Year Rainers! Did anyone set any social media specific goals for this year? Perhaps a FB resolution for 2017? If you did, stay in for the long haul...it can take a little time to see results (just like with blogging). The results are often tied to the effort we put in so let's not short change on the latter … (25 comments)

Are you experiencing an increase in social media activity this week? I sure am and attribute it to a) Many are off work and have free time b) I have not let-up with my online marketing efforts. Getting real estate related questions/comments/inquiries on various social media outlets is always appreciated and an affirmation our efforts are noticed. Being active gives us the best opportunity to be found!

facebook fridays: Facebook Fridays - Is Your Marketing Laser Focused?

~ Facebook Marketing Tips ~
I spent very little time on ActiveRain this week, instead I allocated a lot of time to catch up on content curation, social media marketing, and an upcoming long-form article on my WP site. Days where I can spend an abundance of time laser focused on only a few key tasks are always appreciated and helpful.
Whatever action(s) you took this week to grow your brand and increase your online exposure, I hope it/they included plenty of social media activity. Do not wait for buyers and sellers to find you...go seek them out first!

The pedal is on the floor and I have been motoring down the social media highway this month. I hope your efforts have been shifted into overdrive too. With so many taking time off it is an excellent opportunity to keep truckin' on and be the agent buyers and sellers see online and call. They will call someone...why not you!
There have been lots of similar FB questions in the ActiveRain Q&A over the last couple of months. While I think it is smart to do your research, sometimes we just have to take a leap of faith … (22 comments)

I have been stalking you! Yes YOU! For many of you, I have been visiting your Facebook biz pages for a couple of years and am thrilled you have really embraced FB marketing and are seeing results. Return on investment vs resources spent to attract new prospects on this platform can be incredibly positive and I hope you are having success for the actions you are taking.
