Social Media Got This Raleigh, Cary, Apex Area Real Estate Agent Noticed... By the North Carolina Attorney General!

Twitter

There are so many avenues to get your name out there to let the world know what you do.

Shameless plug time! You can follow me on any one of them by clicking the links above.

OK. OK. Back to the original topic.

Last week I wrote a blog about an upcoming local Raleigh, Cary, Apex area event. It originated right here on ActiveRain. Then, by using the SHORT URL link, I posted it to all of my social media sites.

And that's when I saw this...

My point?

If you're still debating whether or not Social Media should be a part of your marketing plan, think again! Because...

Craig, I guess it depends on what he noticed! These guys are also hanging out looking for fools who brag about their illegal activities on social media sites.

Holy cow! That made me stand up and take notice just from your title. I don't use the short url much so need to work on that. My posts automatically go to Twitter, so not sure of the benefit of a short url.

Patricia - I hear ya! Gotta be careful what we put out there.

Tom - Not bad, huh?

Ed - Pat nailed it. Nothing more needs to be said.

Jan - I'm not sure how auto posting to Twitter reflects in SEO, but, I do know that you can at least track how many "outside of AR" clicks you receive when using the short URL. And, by tracking the outside clicks, I can get a feeling on which posts are generating interest.

Debbie - I did see the BuzzFeed article. And, like I commented on Kerrie's post about it, I don't care if they were mocking me or if they kind of liked what I was doing. But in either case, my web site traffic tripled the day the article came out (they linked to my web site in the article), a bunch of people signed up to receive home searches, and two people called me to help them find a home here in my area. Thank you BuzzFeed!

Kristin - It was good exposure for sure! Thanks Kristin! And, yes, I'm VERY busy. Hope you are too!

You can't ask for more than that. Two people called you to help them find a home based on an article?
