davewoodson: My Intro to LinkedIN - 06/29/11 12:48 AM
Recently, I was asked to speak about LinkedIn at a local Tweetup. I, never one to turn down chance to speak leaped at the opportunity. I have often admitted that LinkedIn was my most overlooked and often ignored social site. Well, no longer and if it has been that way for you. I hope you change your mind after watching this video.
LinkedIn with the use of Facebook and Twitter in conjuction of a well-written blog is the basis for a strong social networking strategy that will get you not only more leads but more closed loans … (2 comments)

davewoodson: Who are you? - 12/08/10 11:24 AM
I have been horrible about blogging on here, focusing more on other blogs and I am sorry for that.
However, yesterday as I try to add some new follower on Linkedin, I noticed a disturbing trend. It seemed more and more professionals were not using a good picture, scratch that a picture at all. I am really not liking seeing the egg on twitter and an empty avatar on Linkedin. Really, if you do not have a pic on facebook someone should slap you.
I know that is a little rough, but these are the best social media sites on the web. If you … (9 comments)

davewoodson: my 6 months looking in...from outside - 08/12/10 11:03 AM
I am a former loan officer a current Realtor-in-referral. I quit doing loans in March of this year. I, simply, grew tired of dealing with know-little agents, back stabbing loan officers, clients willing to sell you out for a .25% better from the starving LO on the street corner holding will "work for loans" sign, the banks changing their mind on good loans and ever changing landscape regulation landscape that may or may not be a mirage.
What have I learned in the last 6 months?
That most agents in my area do not know SEO, blogging or even customer service their … (5 comments)

davewoodson: old ways of marketing,still work - 08/11/10 03:30 PM
I wrote this over at my main blog of DaveWoodson.com, I am former mortgage guy, turned full time marketer and speaker. I have long been interested in the old tried and true marketing ideas that cost little to no money other than your time and some printing costs.
I heard this more that a few years ago and I have suggested it to more than a few of my real estate agent friends, with little to no success. They were either too busy or they were not interested in the leg work. I think this video shows that listings in a … (3 comments)

davewoodson: FourSquare - 02/02/10 10:34 AM
Hey, I am over here. No, wait I am over here. Just go to my Twitter page and you will soon know where I am and what I am the Mayor.
What you did not know I am the Mayor of several Indiana Towns and Cities, not to mention a few eateries and even my church. Who wants to be the pastor when you can be the Mayor of your church. Do you think they will give me a funny hat like the Pope? No, I didn’t think so either.
So, what the heck am I talking about FourSquare. You know … (9 comments)

davewoodson: Evelyn Johnston, Elkhart Indiana's Short Sale Expert - 02/01/10 03:41 PM
I had the distinct pleasure of meeting one of Elkhart, Indiana’s premiere Realtors over a year ago at a friends wedding. She told me then that she was shooting my then number 1 spot on ActiveRain. I laughed it off at the time. Well, I am not laughing anymore. As I fell from #1 to #2 to #4. While most agents and mortgage guys are here are blogging about the most asinine things in the all mighty search for more points. Evelyn does not do not. She gives pertinent information about not only Elkhart, but real estate matters as well, such … (3 comments)
