facebook: Attracting Business through LinkedIn with Caruso! - 02/24/12 02:23 PM
I came across this question on articleserver.net & after reading the question I thought to myself, you know what, I have the same exact question! "I am a real estate agent and I am not sure how LinkedIn can help me since it is a business to business platform and I am targeting consumers and homeowners. Should I be focusing just on Facebook which is more consumer oriented? And, if I should be on LinkedIn, how can I best utilize it to help me obtain more business and clients?" So I thought I would do some research and see how … (1 comments)

facebook: Caruso's Quick Website Tips! - 02/08/12 05:07 PM
We are already into the New Year. Towards the end of 2011 I talked about updating your business & marketing plans for the New Year! However, did you also include a review of your website? Your website is a VERY important part of your business. After reading through the e-pro blog, here are some quick tips for when you review your website!
Refresh the about page. Your About page is usually the second-most visited page of any site, which means it’s an important page that needs to put a friendly ‘face’ on the company. Rewrite it to include fresh company … (3 comments)

facebook: The Discovery of Earth's twin?? - 12/05/11 11:43 PM
According to: MSNBC
By Mike Wall
A 'major milestone' in search for Earth's twin. NASA's planet-hunting Kepler spacecraft has confirmed the discovery of its first alien world in its host star's habitable zone, that is just-right range of distances that could allow liquid water to exist.
The potentially habitable alien world, a first for Kepler, orbits a star very much like our own sun. The discovery brings scientists one step closer to finding a planet like our own — one that could conceivably harbor life, scientists said.

facebook: How one dumb post killed the real estate deal! - 09/27/11 01:24 PM
I read an article on MSN about how we share too much personal information online on via social media sites. One tweet, one post could kill the deal or the negotiations.
One homebuyer learned the hard way when she posted on her facebook page. She posted, “Found our dream house!” and she named the highly sought after neighborhood where she had been looking for several months.
She didn't think anyone but those in her small circle of friends were reading the post, said her realtor. "Unfortunately, a friend saw the post and shared it with a pal who was … (29 comments)

facebook: How to....with Caruso ☺♫☼♣↓♥ - 08/02/11 03:37 PM
Do you want to know how you can add hearts, music notes and other cool symbols to your Facebook status, texts and chats?
Courtesy of my wife, Cris. There are three ways!
1. You can Download the many apps.
2. You can Copy or Paste. This doesn't always work if the symbols are all grouped together. Try pressing "Ctrl" + "Z" to solve the problem.
3. Do it Yourself. You can type the symbols from your keyboard by using the 'alt' key!
If you have a laptop or computer, make sure you ‘Num Lock’ key is ON. The ‘Num Lock’ button is on the top right of your keyboard. Next, hold … (5 comments)

facebook: 40 under 40 - see who made the list! - 12/12/10 03:40 PM
I admire the younger entrepreneurs who accomplish great feats in their 20s and 30s. Fortune just launched its list of this year's innovative movers and shakers.
They are doing big things despite the economy. Some who made the list are Marc Andreesen who created the building blocks of the web; Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook; Evan Williams and Biz Stone, co-founders of Twitter; Cesar Conde, president of Univision Networks; and Andrew Mason (just 30!), founder and CEO of Groupon.
I can't wait to see where these intelligent people and the younger up and comers take us in the next 10 or 20 … (5 comments)

facebook: Motivated Prospects with Caruso! - 12/05/10 03:18 PM
Determining Factors of a Qualified Prospect
1. Strong motivation
Motivation is simply the desire to do something. The stronger the desires on the part of the Buyer, the easier it will be for you to satisfy or even exceed their expectations. The stronger the motivation, the lower the expectations they will have for a property or your service. A low motivation prospect is willing to look for extended periods of time until they find the perfect home. In essence, they are looking for something that doesn't exist in many cases.
Do they want it? Do they have to have … (3 comments)

Is a facebook page really worth all the effort you put into it? These days all the social media experts are telling you you have to have a Facebook page for your business. To most it sounds like a good idea. But then theres a catch. They tell you to invest time and resources into customizing said Facebook page. They tell you to brand it with your colors and add listing data. They even tell you to direct your non-Facebook Web traffic to your Facebook page via some badge on your Web site, or mention it in your marketing … (3 comments)

Bra Colors on Facebook Statuses
If you regularly go on Facebook, you probably have come across some status updates with just one word. A color. At first I didn't get it. Some said Black, some said White and others said, Red, Tan or Nude.
I didn't get it, and then I saw that my wife and daughter's had statuses with just the color. When I asked my wife, why everyone had listed a color on their profile and what it meant. She explained to me that it was to raise awareness about breast cancer. This campaign was designed to sweep … (4 comments)

facebook: Should your kid be on Facebook? - 11/02/09 10:44 PM
We all use Facebook and many of the blogs on Active Rain are about improving your profile. But status updates, news feeds, and photos aren’t just for teens and adults anymore.
Researchers say a growing number of children using Facebook and MySpace despite requirements to be at least 13. These sites have no way to verify ages so children pretend to be older when signing up. Now there are a growing number of networking sites geared toward young users like Disney’s Club Penguin, WebKinz, KidSwirl and Whyville.
Its scary for many reasons, the exposure to adult content, the lack of … (4 comments)
