I'm excited about the number of subscribers to FACEBOOK Tips (over 500 so far).

I'm now spending more late evening time focused on designing my Facebook strategy as I'll be teaching a class at the office to other agents next month.

I'd like to know, at this point in time, which strategies on Facebook are paying off for you.

I see that some people have hundreds or thousands of "friends".

I'm going to test a different approach.  I'm only inviting some family and friends as well as more importantly, all of my active and inactive clients and service providers, like lender, inspector, insurance agt, etc.

I think the real benefit to being on FACEBOOK is to build and nurture relationships with people you've helped.  The more you know and care about them, the more business you should receive (If done right) over time. 

What some may not realize is that your 'friends' have friends on their pages, who they may refer to you or their friend may indirectly reach out to you based on what you write or how you interact with others.

This is not a get rich quick scenario. 

You may have not kept in touch with many clients and it'll take awhile to hopefully revive their trust.

I'm looking for a way to have my Realtor friends, et al to be my friends on a group page, but not on my Friends list, where I'm focused on my clients.  If you know how to do that, please share to all of us.

Please take a moment and post any successful Facebook strategies that are working for you.

To your continued success in 2009!
