Social Networking and How it Changed My Business

Twitterqueens, Social Media friendships.I've never had a problem talking... don't get me wrong.  But researching the hows and whats and wheres of social media marketing had been a journey.  IThe journey has lead me to the most fascinating women and minds in my business. The goal of social networking, to build relationships.. well.. consider the goal obtained and so much more!

I began the journey with Google.. who are the top in the industry.. then Facebook.. again, connecting not just to friends.. but starting with industry leaders. Examining each one with great  involvement, reading their blogs, browsing their websites. Secondly.. I spent a lot of time on you tube... looking for tutorials on the "how tos" of real estate technology. then came Twitter.  What started as an innocent few words blossomed into searches for those with similar interests.  Some work involved,.. following their tweets, skipping through to their websites and company information, etc.  I soon became familiar with how it all worked.  I added Tweetdeck for management of the people I have in int erst in, and learned volumes in just days. 

If you are wondering how social networking will bring your busineess also.. well add up all the advertising you do, by talking about your business, This past week, I had not one, not two, ,but three customers come to me via Twitter. All three viable candidates for real estate purchases and sales.

The biggest surprise, meeting other real estate twitterers, engaging in conversation, many into the late night or early morning hours. Women who "get it".  Smart, intelligent and caring women with a desire to have fun, throw around ideas and suggestions to me, and other professionals but with as much "color" as the newest 244 box of Crayola crayons. Before you know it.. there was the creation of the #twitterqueens.

How honored I am to be included, and can not wait to see these ladies in real lilfe... coming soon, God willing and a few more sales under my belt.

If you are not involved,.. you need to jump right in. Research or ask the best in your industry.

Good for you....I am a follower of yours on Twitter.  It seems almost "weird" or awkward to write something more than a half sentence, doesn't it.  Congrats on the TwitterQueens.  Stay dry!
