Generating Facebook Leads
My First RainCamp Online Today!
Wow, I knew there would be a lot of information but...
Debe, (the famous Debe Maxwell, and my dear friend) 
before I even start, your segment rocked! You've motivated me to do a Wordpress site.
So it's not that I didn't learn anything, it's that I couldn't explain what I learned if I wanted!
What I really got out of today was Generating Leads 
from Facebook by Chris Alston. Chris broke it down into 12 easy steps.
I'm going to recap some of it for you the best I can.
First, it's OK to Stalk your friends! Wow, that's illegal in most places. Really, what Chris said was to "learn more about your Clients BEFORE they're your Clients". Get to know their likes and dislikes. Find common ground so you can engage them.
Engage them - Isn't that like what we do here on 
ActiveRain? The light went off for me here.
I had already heard to not bombard your friends with business information non-stop because they would UnFriend you. Now that hurts, being unfriended. :(
This was the most important thing I learned today. I thought I was doing that but in hindsight, I really wasn't.
Next, Reciprocate. Those that comment on your status updates or even "Like" your things, do the same on theirs.
OMGosh! Isn't that what we do here?
I just started really participating in Facebook a little while back. I've been on it but, like a newbie at ActiveRain, looked but didn't say much. A lot of it didn't make sense.
Last year I got a listing via a friend who moved to 
California from Nashville. She had been a Realtor here. She was engaged with her friends on Facebook and found out that they were selling their house here. She immediately told them that I would be the perfect person to help them.
Now, I'm starting to get it.
If you're not using Facebook well, find Chris and see if he has more classes he's teaching!
So this is what I spent a good bit of the day doing to help my Business in 2012!
