Are you using Twitter for your real estate social networking?
Did you know:
Jeremiah Owyang of Forrester Research estimated that Twitter had 4-5 million users.
A February 2009 Compete.com blog entry ranked Twitter as the third most used social network (Facebook being the largest, followed by MySpace), which puts the number of unique monthly visitors at roughly 6 million and the number of monthly visits at 55 million.
In March 2009, a Nielsen.com blog ranked Twitter as the fastest-growing site in the Member Communities category for February 2009.
Twitter had a growth of 1382%, Zimbio had a growth of 240%, followed by Facebook with a growth of 228%.
In a prior post, New Twitter Promotion & Marketing Tool, I noted this great new Twitter automation software. I have personally been using it for myself as well as some of our SEO clients and have produced the video below about the actual results.
I marketing, the mantra is that the real money is in the list. If you develop a list of past clients, people interested in your niche, and potential prospects who may need your product or service, and keep in touch with them ... YOU WILL GENERATE NEW BUSINESS!
The proper use of Twitter lets one build such targeted lists. Keep in mind, the key is TARGETED list. In local service business like real estate one could search keywords such as newlywed, wedding date, retirement, graduation, etc., in both tweets and profiles, to build a good list. Realtors and other local service business could put in their office zip code and then collect followers who reside in a 25- to 100-mile area around the office.
Another big benefit of building a targeted Twitter follower list is SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION! Yes, with any of a few free and simple applications, one can tie in their blog posts to automatically send off a tweet announcing the new post's title to all your followers. By notifying thousands of followers of your post, a good number of them may go over to read your blog. Search engines will note this increased traffic and before long, your blog/website will be moved up in the search rankings.
Still not using Twitter? Don't expect the same business your Twittering competitor is generating. It's all a numbers game, and to be successful on the Internet, you must be involved and automate where ever possible. For now, the two most productive things you can do are: WATCH THE VIDEO BELOW & DOWNLOAD & RUN THE FREE SOFTWARE! See the direct software hyper-link below the video.
