Make an Impact with Facebook

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Home Point Real Estate DRE # 01492725

Many people wonder how they can make an impact with Facebook and what difference it can make in their business.

I myself struggle with this and want to know how I can really use it to get my face out there to generate buzz and hopefully business.

One you need to figure out how to do something right (and you haven't a clue) sometimes the best thing to do is look at the examples of others.

Well here are some examples of Facebook Status Entries with Impact!

Thanks for this post, maybe it will give me the kick to start my own facebook page. I must admit fb is the only social media outlet where I haven't made a public profile.

interesting link... we are making history now!!...  on a serious note, I have done business on facebook.. but it was from my wife... then I read/had an epiphany if you will, that you have to get 'social' in your social networking.. become real friends.. then the leads will come.  Mine has been mostly business.. time to get social...

There's just so much to do online and not enough time to do it all. ActiveRain is really paying off for me right now.

Hi Gene,

thanks for the post, our challange is that once you figure out how facebook works, and how people use it, Facebook changes a bunch of things, and we have to figure it out again. It is frustrating to say the least.

Happy Selling

My kid was falling asleep when I went to the facebook page. I laughed so hard she woke up. Great post.

its also good to have a fan page and if you have one, you need to wow them.  an easy tool would be http://socialmediafunk.com - if you have a nice design to greet your customers, they'll keep coming back.
