Realtor Facebook FLUFF versus LinkedIn STUFF

Realtor Facebook ( FUN ) FLUFF versus LinkedIn STUFF! 

I have spent the last week paying more attention to LinkedIn than I have since it's inception.

WHY?

Because it hit me like a thunderbolt that a lot of people that I know in my life that like and respect me are there. Like REALLY there.

Virginia Tech Business Degree. Self employed family background. iPad Queen.

Hmmmm...the matching DEMOGRAPHICS are loud and clear. Like a trumpet going off.

I guess I was busy with the guitar Or ukulele.

I was purportedly there but let's say MIA.

Well, no more, no way Jose, I' m there to stay for a way long while.

WHY? 

I seem to have a lot of pilots, engineers, geeks, accountants that gravitate to me for real estate services. I like cutting edge real estate technology and am implementing something one day to the next. Let's not get confused and say it comes easily to me. It simply fascinates me and I work at it really hard until I get it....one gadget or program at a time.

Anyway, the wives like the golden part but the husbands like the systems, the no nonsense, the straight to the point part of me.

Well, I 'm bringing the Goldens over to Linked in, too. Looks like I need to take some Golden Results over to that networking platform ,too. 

Gotta run. I need to fill out some LinkedIn recommendations, endorsements plus fill out an invite or two or three or MORE!

I love how you continue to add to your technology on a daily basis. Guess it is time to look into LinkedIn.

LinkedIn is a huge requirement for any professional.  But we don't discount the importance of any social media venue. You never know where your next client or referral is coming from!

I say stick to what works for you, but in terms of people being interested and getting involved, LinkedIn is number 1.

Income after 35 years show no decline w/o facebook. Maybe I would make more if Linkedin paid me to accept resonses.

Although I have an account, I must say I haven't thought about getting more involved. Others have recommended us, but not sure what it all means yet. BTW,  started Techie Tuesday Oct. 2012 and it's something we do on our own once a week on A/R...

I too have been paying more attention to Linked In. I think that the content submitted in LinkedIn is so different than the content you would post on Facebook and/or Twitter.  I have been using it more and surprised to find that I am continuing to build connections.

LinkedIn is great -  however the endorsements I find are a waste of time and don't hold any credibility at all...

 Facebook and Linkedin are my social media.  I'm sure there are other great ones out there, but these are the two I will work daily.

I like to hangout mostly on Facebook, Google and Linkedin. I post some tweets on Twitter but can't say I use Twitter much.

Use Facebook to communicate with far away relatives and far away classmates, not enough to get me any business.  On Linked in but it seems only other Realtors want to be connected with me. I don't see Linking in with my competition.  So, for me both are not business magnets.

I like twitter because I can send interesting links for readers and clients to read and have it also appear in the right column of my blog(s). That way, even when I don't update that day, there is fresh info for readers.
