Social Media Plethora or Perdition
What to use first and what to use when
via Zintro Infographic on Mashable.com

AR RainCamp 2012 and many other trainings offer us advice on Social Media. What no one can tell us is which is the right path for each of our real estate practices. In fact, we each are the only ones who can decide which one to use and which one to leave for another time. Yet how do we gain the necessary knowledge to make the decisions?

Mashable has presented an "infographic" from Zintro for us to use as a compass of sorts in the Social Media Forest that surrounds us every day.In respect of all the work needed to produce the infographic and since I have not received permission to reproduce it here - check out the infographic on the amazing site MASHABLE!

cartoon star   Atlanta Metro ODAT Realty CDPE Advanced Buckhead Atlanta GAIn my search for the best path through Social Media, perhaps the best tips I have received so far are these:
1. Choose one Social Network, learn it and use it properly to your advantage.
..... Theory: Better to do it right than offer a haphazard result.
2. Do your Social Network site YOURSELF - don't farm it out.
.....  Theory: You are you and if someone else is writing your part, who is you?

In comments - please share your personal insights about the sites you prefer. Your analysis will be valuable to all of us.

Have a happy day -

Lynn, I attended the recent raincamp....all 3 hours...and came away feeling, well. like we're all still twirling around in circles.  We are in the middle of the storm, and no one has really figured out the best way to ride it.

Those are good tips.  I was interested in seeing their infographic, but your link isn't currently working.

Hi Lynn, I registered for the raincamp, but had appointmeents so I missed it.  The infographic link does not work, but Mashable does.  Suggested this in hopes you get some info from other Rainers.  I do agree with your two tips to learn one social network and be reallllllly good at it and do it yourself.  Have a great weekend my friend!

It's always such a helpless feeling when a 'new' thing comes up. For me I don't really want to be an early adopter, because I feel that a social media outlet needs to 'prove' itself first, before I put the time in to study it. Some sites fizzle and some explode...I 'd like to stay with the explosions

Lynn, I had fun reading this. I was unable to attend Rain Camp, so this was helpful. I tend to use Facebook the most.
