The Misconception of Social Networking: Magic, Miracles, or Just Plain Movin' and Shakin'?

Social networking

For me

Isn't about miracles

Magic

It's about movin' and shakin'

My work that's inspired by passion.

Life's Balance

Electrical Connections

And good old conversations

Have a listen

I'm off to cook some dinner.

I'm off to cook some dinner...I'll be back in a few

Blogging and social networking seems to have so much potential. The tricky part is you don't see the result as quickly often as you do making calls to fsbo's ect.I work with an agent that gets a bunch of business blogging and off her site.I'm trying to find a balance of doing both, but finding the time is not easy.One nice thing is you can blog any odd time.Good luck with your efforts.

It does have potential. 90% of my business comes from blogging and social networking. I would say, though, that it's important to also make time for face time, calling, etc., Like you say balance, keep striving for that.

Another great tool. I've seen Twitter, Blogs, and video's. This is another great tool that can be used.

John,

Absolutely, and it's another social network to meet new people and make connections:-)

Social networking is part of a circular business process ... it helps us create a presence on our time to connect with others on their time (flexibility), which leads to face-to-face opportunities, which builds our business and improves our quality of life, which gives us more time for social networking.

Rebecca, Love the brief yet poignant nuggets you wrote and spoke. It's great to put a voice with words. I agree; physical interaction is necessary to make a fully impactful connection. Communicating online is not enough.

Hi Rebecca, I enjoyed the audio! You make great points points about social networking.

Its ridiculous how much I learn in the Rain. Seems like everyone has an idea or has tried something. Luckily they like to share these ideas with me so that I can expand my knowledge.
