Social Media Is Not Just About Real Estate

Nannette-I see you have a shiny yellow star up there :)  Nice going.....now as to calling you....I am still trying to figure out how to get my AR on Technotori (sp?)   Here's my Birthday and Christmas Wish List:

1.  I want to know where to get the Twitter and Facebook icons to put on my AR Profile and outside Blog

2. I want to know once how you found popel only in your area on Twitter

3.  I want to know what coffee shop you and John Luster go to .....my new friend on Twitter thanks to you :)

Anyway......I have really enjoyed my Social Networking, and it has given me a ton of new ideas for business.  Ok again, and I will be back for my answers...I do better with seeing them in writing LOL :)

Nanette--I am always looking for a way to connect with people. When you find a connection, they open up and want to work with you. I have been skeptical about Facebook as a way to connect but your experience is eyeopening. For you, music is a great way to connect...Hope it works out for you and thanks for pointing out ways to make these social networks WORK!

Nannette, excellent point and excellent posts.  The social media does provide an excellent venue and media to make those connections.  If it turns into business, great.  If it does not, great.  It is just great to be out there and I believe over the long term, it will certainly come back to the business person in beneficial ways in terms of additional business, name exposure, reputation, etc...

Hi Nannette!  It's all about the networking, isn't it?  I too, use Send Out Cards and LOVE having that at my fingertips anytime I need to 'thank' someone or say 'hello.'

Social media marketing (for virtually everything) is going to be the wave of the future -- JE

AS far as Twiiter is concerned- how do you find the time to chat with people? Between phone calls, walk-ins, and computer, some days it's all I can do to get my work done.

social networking is great for many things in life if used properly. Thank you for the post

Nannette,  The more I use Twitter the more I see the potential for business networking.  The problem is that it is so addicting!

Thanks for this post! I agree. You never know!

The world has become a very small place with the internet and now social media.

Hi Nannette...Congratulations on the feature. 

Active Rain is one example of how accurate your topic is.  After all, many of us are here for the friendships we are creating as well as the real estate information we are gaining.  The information would be pretty dry after a while if we didn't have some faces to put with it.

Although I am signed up for Twitter and Facebook I haven't really jumped in yet.  It amazes me how so many of you find the time for all of these sites.  Maybe it's your youth!

There is so much involved in all of this social media it can be mind boggling!  But I am steadily plugging along!  :-)

Merry Christmas

the more you talk the more often you get a new connection and a new client.

Nannette- Never before in history has the chance to quickly utilize the 6 degrees of seperation so  powerful as it is in Social media. I have fully embraced it and make wonderful not profit and for profit relationships in all walks of life. I love that I can connect with other homeschool parents around the world and if there is something I am looking for all I have to do is ask. The globe has shrunk with this amazing technology and we ain't seen nothing yet! Katerina

I wrote a post recently on the real estate weenie that twitter is not just for realtors any more. I have spent months connecting with people who live in my area while every day more realtors follow me. I only follow some back because I don't want to give everyone the impression that twitter is just for realtors.
