Happy Facebook Fridays and Happy New Year to all ya'll! Hopefully by now you have formulated your online marketing plan for this year and are itching to get things moving forward. Ensuring that plan involves a good bit of FB marketing is sure to help you gain more visibility and reach new buyers and sellers in the process.
I heard nearly every week in 2015 from Rainers on how they were making Facebook work for them and the majority of those stories involved ads, local FB groups, and plenty of engagement. Separately, they are all 3 good ways to generate interest...together, … (26 comments)

Happy Facebook Fridays and Merry Christmas to all the Rainers who will catch this article today or in the future. It has been a fun year with weekly FB Friday articles by me and a host of great Facebook content posted by many of you in our little AR group. We will be over 900 in membership soon with a goal of reack 1K+ in 2016. If you haven't joined yet, you can find the link near the bottom of this post.
Tis the season to keep our social media efforts going strong. With all the distractions this time of the year … (30 comments)

facebook: Facebook Fridays - Getting in the Game
- 12/10/15 05:46 AM
Facebook Marketing
Hey Rainers...Facebook prefers we keep our business related information on our fan pages, not our personal profiles (although they are pretty lax about this area of their Terms-of-Service). So for those who have asked recently why I never include personal pages in this weekly article, now you know. I do not want to get you in trouble with FB by promoting sharing business information in a non-biz environment. ;-)
A quick virtual show of hands by everyone who changed their cover photo this week to go with a holiday theme. I changed mine. I know a few of you did because … (24 comments)

facebook: Facebook Fridays - Just Saying!
- 12/01/15 08:30 AM
Facebook Marketing
This week I spent some quality time ensuring my social media links were working by verifying they were pointing to the right pages/locations. It is something I try to do at least quarterly and recommend you implement a periodic time table to check your links too. Start with those in your ActiveRain signature and branch out from there. Better for you to find a broken link than an interested consumer. Just saying!
The holiday season is a great time to refresh your Facebook cover photo. Give your followers something new to look at...you can even turn it into a contest by … (43 comments)

facebook: Facebook Fridays - Trust but Verify!

Facebook Marketing
My inbox was full this week with questions about the best way to use Facebook to capture business. I provided input where I could and hope those who had the inquiries follow through and see results. It really is great that so many are starting to take their social media presence more serious and that they are wanting to utilize FB to help reach more consumers. YAY!
I have noticed a lot of mis-information about Facebook and social media in general lately on the Web. Make sure you check what you read with reputable sources to ensure your efforts stay on … (25 comments)

facebook: Facebook Fridays - Finding Biz Before It Finds You
- 11/16/15 09:20 PM
Facebook Marketing
I spent scant little time on ActiveRain this week, instead spending every free business minute working on social media, content curation, and catching up on guest blog opportunities. It felt good, especially as I made a lot of progress in a few areas I have been wanting to gain a foothold in.
Whatever you did to increase your exposure online this week, I hope it included plenty of activity using social media to gain more traction for your blog articles. Do not wait for consumers to find you...go find them first!
As always, there are 5 top notch Rainers for you … (35 comments)

facebook: Facebook Fridays - Where Will Your Next Client Come From?
- 11/03/15 07:06 AM
It is my favorite social media day of the week...Facebook Fridays! I have been busy doing this and that on my biz page, even boosted a post this week to a local targeted audience with very good results (including an upcoming listing opportunity). You never know where the next client will come from but we can make it easier for them to find us in the first place!
I have had a lot of fun the past few weeks looking for Rainers to showcase and this week is no different. You may see a few familiar faces and perhaps even a few … (46 comments)

facebook: Facebook Fridays - Are You Engaged?
- 10/28/15 11:42 PM
It is Facebook Fridays but in reality every day is a great day to get busy generating interest on and via social media. I have been doing plenty of that this week on several platforms and hope you have too!
Per usual, this weeks article showcases 5 Rainers for you to go over and visit on Facebook. So please take the time to do that. Go ahead, do it now...we'll wait for you to come back. ;-)
Engagement is a key to growing your followership, having a larger reach, and generating both interest and new clients. Do not take my word for it...try … (32 comments)

facebook: Facebook Fridays - Where Does Your Inspiration Come From?
- 10/22/15 07:09 AM
There are few things online I enjoy more than finding Rainers to highlight in this long running weekly FB series. It is true! It always provides me with a wonderful opportunity to go check out their Facebook Fan Pages and perhaps find some tips I can use in my own FB marketing.
I highly encourage you to click, review, check, read, and comment as you visit other Rainer fan pages as you never know where the next bit of real estate marketing inspiration or referral partnership will come from.
With the holidays quickly approaching, now might be a good time to consider swapping … (30 comments)

facebook: Facebook Fridays - Picking the Low Hanging Fruit
- 10/15/15 07:59 AM
Fall is arriving with all of its changes...that makes it an ideal time to update your Facebook Fan Page profile, perhaps change out your cover photo, and do some general site maintenance. These are the things we often forget about as we set-it-and-forget-it but if you have a steady stream of regular visitors, I bet they would appreciate the fresh look and feel.
If you have been implementing some of the FB tips in this weekly series this year, by now I hope they have been paying off in the way of new prospects and clients. I have found that setting something … (35 comments)

facebook: Facebook Fridays - Carving Out Time Pays Off
- 09/30/15 09:58 AM
Those of you who follow me on Facebook know I have been on the road this past week. While away it is always difficult to find quality time to engage on Facebook and social media in general.
However, I did make it a point to carve out 15 minutes of free time twice this week that was well spent on Facebook. The result is an upcoming opportunity to assist a new buyer...you just never know where the next client will come from! FB pays off again because I made the effort to make time. If it works for me, I know … (26 comments)

facebook: Facebook Fridays - Staying Top of Mind is Easier Than You Think!
- 09/24/15 07:50 AM
Did you get an opportunity to spend some biz time on social media this week? I spent a little time on FB, mainly doing some behind the scenes stuff to my fan page with a measured dose of local group participation to stay top of mind. I hope you kept the FB fires burning by doing something to gain/keep consumer interest!
It has been pretty quiet across the social media spectrum this month which makes you wonder if SM sites are in their mad labs putting the finishing touches on some fantastic new option(s) to help us all. Probably not, but I … (26 comments)

facebook: Facebook Fridays - What Does Your FB Presence Taste Like?
- 09/16/15 09:34 AM
It has been a fun week for me with plenty of social media engagement and some wonderful opportunities made possible by being active in my local Facebook groups. They are truly the gift that keeps on giving! Hopefully you are using them in your area too and finding sweet nectar as a result.
Did you hear that FB is going to be testing making a radical (for them) change in the near future? If not, you will want to check out the links near the bottom of this article to read all about it. Of course, not before you visit my 5 … (37 comments)

facebook: Facebook Fridays - A Taste of Social Media Manna
- 09/09/15 06:42 AM
Facebook is like that weed that you just cannot get rid of. Other Social media sites hit the Web with promise to dethrone the undisputed king of SM only to be quickly brushed aside. Will its reign end? Most likely someday but not in the immediate future which means it is a fantastic opportunity to generate more interest in our brand, gain more blogging leverage, reach more potential prospects, and close more real estate deals. It really can be that simple!
I bet there will be someone (perhaps you) who reads this article and wishes someone would share a FB success story … (32 comments)

facebook: Facebook Fridays - Mailing It In Is Seldom Successful!
- 09/03/15 07:06 AM
Speaking from experience, it is really easy (and convenient) to get in a rut with our Facebook marketing. We get super busy and either forget or are too tired to do any FB marketing or we give it less than our best effort. We know we are doing it and you can bet our followers do as well, especially if our past history is full of quality content, helpful tips, and plenty of engagement.
Pledge with me to not "mail it in" this week with your/my/our Facebook marketing! Share at least one of your best articles, a video (or other graphic … (28 comments)

facebook: Facebook Fridays - Hitting the Bullseye Takes a Steady Hand!
- 08/24/15 08:42 AM
Facebook has been doing some pretty cool updates lately...have you noticed? If not, you will find at least one in the links below and several more dispersed in recent previous Facebook Fridays posts. It is like everything else in life, changing like the seasons...sometimes better and other times missing the bullseye. I like that as it helps keep me focused!
As a reminder, I am purposely looking for your Facebook pages and sometimes have difficulties. Do not have a stealth FB page or a link that does not work. While I will keep trying consumers will often not. The last thing we … (27 comments)

facebook: Facebook Fridays - Staying in the Online Fast Lane!
- 08/19/15 11:42 AM
Have you been zooming down the information superhighway with periodic stops at all your favorite social media hangouts this week? Pulling in to say hey to all your followers is a good way to stay top-of-mind with all those local and national future real estate prospects and clients. Of course, staying in the SM online fast lane has its advantages too.
With so many SM sites vying for your attention with their shiny bells and whistles, it can be a tough chore determining which ones make sense for your business. Whether you decide to use Facebook as part of your online marketing … (40 comments)

facebook: Facebook Fridays - Falling Off the Social Media Wagon
- 08/06/15 07:34 AM
Woot, Woot! I am excited because it is Friday and I have a full slate of real estate activities planned. I typically try to do something business related 7 days a week, 364 days of the year (Christmas is the exception), so first day of the week, last day, hump day...they are all real estate days in my book! Even something as simple as spending a couple of minutes updating our CRM or making a quick call to long-term prospects can make a difference.
This year I have also made it a point to try and do something on social media every … (30 comments)

facebook: Facebook Fridays - Taking a Long Walk Off a Short Pier!
- 07/30/15 06:26 AM
I am always thrilled when a new buyer or seller calls and one of the first things out of their mouth is that they have been following me on Facebook and want me to help them with their real estate needs. Those little marks of affirmation are a great sign my social media marketing is effective.
When the inquiries and requests for help start to slow down I know it is time to ramp things back up or tweak my approach. I suspect it is the same for many of you...work hard at your social media marketing, enjoy the fruits of … (28 comments)

facebook: Facebook Fridays - A Waste of Time or Money in the Bank?!
- 07/23/15 07:55 AM
Someone mentioned to me the other day that Facebook marketing is a waste of time and it does not work. I agreed with them. Not because I believe what they said but because I know the methodology they have used is not going to increase the bank account or bring prospects their way. Throwing an article on their FB page once a week then forgetting about it until the next week and continually repeating that cycle is not going to give consumers any incentive to call or email for real estate assistance.
Facebook dark posts work (Kyle Reyes has blogged about this on … (82 comments)
