7 Easy Ways to Write Effective Social Media Posts

Mon, 28 Jan 2013 20:04:19 -0800

Will Your Social Media reach your audience? When seeking content for your next blog consider the 7 Easy Ways to Write Effective Social Media Posts recently shared by Rebekah Radice.

Look into the stories in your LinkedIn, Twitter, Pinterest sites and see what is trending. I find that following enthusiastic new sites like Iron & Twine.com illustrates how young couples enjoy DIY projects and can be shared with others! There is a lot of content being shared and a lot of quests for new information that we can gather and share with many others following our blogs.

Via Rebekah Radice Social Media Marketing, Management & Strategies (Manager of Industry Engagement, Better Homes & Gardens RE):

Writing a compelling post that grabs the attention of your audience day in and day out can be challenging. It can also be time consuming, aggravating and downright exhausting.

Between tweets, Facebook posts, Google+ updates and the myriad of additional social sites frequented daily, producing fresh and unique content on a consistent basis can leave our creative juices feeling picked at, poked through and squeezed dry.

Unless you are a natural born writer with exceptional skills, running out of content ideas is inevitable.

While the 7 sources of inspiration below will not keep you from hitting the proverbial brick wall, they will help you put some sizzle in your social and begin to compile a list of resources to assist in the creation of social media posts that ignite and excite your audience.

1. Social Media

Social media networks can be fantastic resources for relevant and up-to-date ideas. They give you the ability to research what is happening right now that may impact your community.

Take a look at hashtags trending on Twitter or the latest blog post from a well reputed industry site. Once you begin to research the social channels you already frequent, you will find a plethora of content right at your fingertips begging to be retweeted and shared.

The idea is not to copy and paste or mimic other authors' content, but to put your finger on the pulse of the trends and general concerns or needs of your audience..

Where to find shareable content:

Facebook groups

Facebook events

Local Facebook pages

LinkedIn groups

LinkedIn questions

Twitter hashtags

Twitter trending topics

Pinterest

Scoop.it

Stumbleupon

Digg

Reddit

2. Blogs

Blogs are equally fundamental sources of inspiration when it comes to writing social media marketing content. Look for bloggers that write about your particular field of interest and build a relationship by tweeting, sharing and commenting on their content.

Interacting with your peers will open up your mind to new ideas while connecting you to an extended network of content providers. You not only gain important alliances, but a wide variety of ideas, suggestions, and motivation that will help in the creation of captivating posts and status updates.

3. Humor, creative, and inspirational quotes

Want to connect with your fans and followers? Let them get to know the you that exists outside of the office. Inject some life into your posts by sharing what matters to you beyond your industry.

Visit humorous, inspirational and motivational websites and blogs to find fun and entertaining posts that speak to your personality and break the monotony of the same old business post.

Like coffee? Share a funny story or a cute picture that will connect with your community on a personal level. Adding humor, inspiration, and creativity to your social media content will give your audience a sneak peek into what makes you tick.

4. Books

I know books might be the last place you would think to look, but reading books, magazines, newspapers, journals and other hard copy material can offer a unique perspective.

This can be topics specific to your particular niche or a relatable success or motivational stories. Research your industry for top authors and find ways to repurpose that content in a shareable format. Just make certain that you always credit the author and link back to any original content.

5. Forums and groups

Joining forums, groups and industry discussions can give you a real-time exchange of ideas, strategies and solutions that answer your potential clients most pressing questions and concerns.

"Listen" as professionals discuss their own success stories and join in the conversation to talk about how you can meet the needs of your potential clients through your social channels. Sharing your own story, you will add value to the community and inspire others to do the same.

6. Role model/mentor

Social media marketing is a wide open landscape and one that can be overwhelming to navigate on your own. Reach out to those who have inspired your own social media efforts. Their guidance and willingness to share any tips, tricks or advice may be just what you need to write a captivating post worth a million "shares".

7. Re-purpose your content

Revisit content that you have created throughout the years. From brochures to blog posts, you are sure to find valuable information your community is craving.

Remember, just because it's not new to you, does not mean it's irrelevant to your audience. Take your content, re-frame it and republish it with a new spin, in a new format or simply update outdated content.

Ways to Repurpose Your Content:

Podcast

Webinar

Free Ebook

Free bonus material for your subscribers

Email mini courses

Training and coaching workbooks

While the Internet may seem to have an endless supply of inspiration, identifying your top resources can feel mind numbing. Once you have recreated a post or other marketing item, take that idea and repurpose it across any of your social networks from Facebook to Twitter, Google+, or LinkedIn!

Where do you find your top ideas for social media inspiration?

What were you thinking when you sent those listings to me?

Mon, 28 Jan 2013 13:50:46 -0800

What were you thinking when you sent those listings to me?

I just received a phone call from a buyer client who questioned why I was sending her properties that didn't meet some of her criteria. Was she not clear with me about what she was really looking for? Do we need to review her needs and wants again? Why was I sending her listings above her price range or properties that did not include 2 parking spaces? Did I forget what her goals were?

Well, I was very happy that she called me about her confusion. This gave me the opportunity to remind her that I would be sending along listings that would be both above and below her ideal price range. This is done with all of our buyer clients because it's what we do to educate them to the market place they are searching in.

1. Buyers don't know what special amenities or "extras" they might be missing out on by paying even just a few thousand more for a property unless we show them.

2. Buyers don't know that they may be able to get a better buy if they look for bank owned properties which are often priced lower than their ideal price range.

3. Buyers often don't know the circumstances of the seller that may allow them to make a lower offer on a higher priced property just because the seller is highly motivated and wants a quick sale.

4. Buyers don't often understand exactly how we search for homes through the MLS! Our searches are often broader than their criteria calls for so that we don't miss an opportunity for them!

Once I was able to explain and remind her of what we do and why we do it, she completely understood! I was able to assure her that we had her best interest at heart and that by sending her these listings we were helping to educate in the area she is searching. By doing so, she will have a much more comprehensive understanding of the value of the property that she will ultimately decide to purchase. She will have gained enough knowledge to be able to move forward quickly on that hot new listing that hits the market on a Friday afternoon and won't last the weekend!

I was glad she called me instead of emailing me about her concern. We had a few laughs about the quirky listings I sent her way and she now knows that I really am trying very hard to keep her eyes opened to the market.

Southern Coastal Maine is experiencing lower inventory and higher buyer demand! Buyers are going to find themselves bidding against other buyers as this trend continues into 2013. We need to get them ready to go!

Garry and I have been representing buyers and sellers in the Cumberland and York County areas of Southern Maine since 1985 and we would be happy to assist anyone needing our services for their future real estate needs.
