Let's Get Pinned!

     No ... not that way!  On Pinterest!

     I've been a big fan of Pinterest now for quite a while.  As time and my participation on Pinterest has grown, I've seen very positive results for my business.  Both from a client basis ... and that of meeting and working with new Referral Partners.

     Pinterest has definitely contributed to increased visibility online.  But besides the business benefit to Pinterest ... I've just come to enjoy the site.  

     Typically my wife (my marketing assistant) and I "pin" together.  I think doing Pinterest as a team has broadened the scope of what we discover and share there.  We each bring our own eye and interests to the task.  (To find me on Pinterest, just click HERE.)

     If you, as a Real Estate professional or Mortgage Lender have not included Pinterest as part of your marketing plan, I strongly urge you to give it a try.  I think you'll be very happy with the results, have a bit of fun with it, and find some pretty amazing tips and info while doing it too.

     Last week, as a result of my participation and following on Pinterest, I was named as one of the "Who's Who of the Real Estate Industry to Follow on Social Media - Pinterest".  I'm pretty proud of this accomplishment.

      But I share this announcement with you not to brag ... (okay, okay!  Maybe a bit), but to bring attention to 2 things:

  1. The benefits Pinterest can provide to your business and business marketing
  2. The fantastic Real Estate and Lending professionals that are available on Pinterest to learn from and share with


     I hope you'll check the Pinterest website out, discover how Pinterest can improve your business and knowledge, and find me there soon.  I look forward to pinning with you!

Gene, thanks for the post, and congrats on the accomplishment of being a top 25 in Pinterest for real estate - that is pretty cool.  Can you give any guidance around what has worked for you in Pinterest?  I'm guessing it is more than just pining the home listings (but I am sure that is a good start!).  Also, how much time do you spend on this each week?

Brian Watson ... I will write you directly, but in general I would advise studying the Pinterest Boards of the Agents (and others) on this list as a start for ideas for your own Boards.The ideas are virtually endless. 

But don't overlook adding some Boards that represent your own personality and likes.  If you overlook doing that, you won't have as much fun with this site .. and you won't visit and add to it as often. 

I've truly been amazed at what I've found being pinned that has been of great use to me .. in business, marketing, and personal value!  Enjoy ...

@Elite Home Sales Team ... Thank you so much for stopping by to tell me that.  It's appreciated ...

Gene we have a Pinterest site which we pin listings for our Realtor Partners.  So when someone comes to our homepage one of the first things they see is a link which takes them to the Pinterest site with listing our Realtor partners have for sale.  It has worked well for us, but I have not ventured out with my own page like you, but should probably consider it.

Congrats!

I am on Pintrest however they have changed the format so now I am a bit confused. I was only posting my blogs anyway. I may have to get my assistant to build some cools pins and boards. You are right, this medium needs to be utilized!

Oh Gene, What have you done to me? I manitain that AR, Facebook, and LinkedIn is all that I have time for. Now I'm following you on Pinterest.

But I think you should consider how Pinterest shows you when someone clicks on your link: Gene Mundt, Chic...

Scott Godzyk ... Maybe we should all "chat" via a Google+ Hangout or elsewhere to share ideas and guidance??  Or if you have questions, I'd sure be willing to answer them or help if I can ...  don't hesitate to write or give me a shout ...

I really like your idea, George Souto ... and have something like it available for my contacts and referral partners.  I need to make more aware of that availability.  You've lead the way!  Thank you for telling me your Pinterest approach  ...

Debbie Reynolds ... Guilty!  I have a few .. what would probably be called ... typical male Boards.  Golf and sports included.  And I agree with you, we're growing in numbers with our participation ...

Shannon Milligan, Richmond VA Real Estate Agent ... with your creativity and profession, you'd be spectacular at Pinterest.  It screams out for your participation.  Tailor-made social media marriage!  Shannon + Pinterest!

Gene, Pinterest is the one social media medium I know literally nothing about.  After reading this post, maybe I should change that!

I'm not consistant there like I need to be, but I've set myself a goal of a new board and some new pins at least once a week.  So it's on my list each week until I get it where I want it.  Then it will be easier.
