I was shocked with the mild mannered High School student who answers the phones in our office. She was telling me about how well my online marketing efforts work because she said that she ran across my name when she was doing a Google search on something local to our area. Then I started to ask her advice on things like MySpace, after a short exchange she mentioned how I need to pay much more attention to
Facebook, and "Get your profile out there."
Amazing with all of the seminars and people offering to teach you networking and how to make contacts in real estate, I think that she put it very simply. When it comes to social networks, you need to put yourself out there. Active Rain is no doubt the epicenter of real estate social networking and online referrals, but that doesn't mean that website traffic, referrals, and other great stuff are absent from the other huge players.
Maybe AR is just better because everyone is so nice.
Was it Brian Brady that told us about the strategy of puking your profile out there everywhere?
Well here is to my reforming my use of the Social Networking strategy. For those of you that don't already use
twitter, I think it is worth checking out. It is fun, because it allows you to follow your friends.
