Facebook and Twitter and Blogging

I have always thought to myself that Social Media was purely for fun and finding old friends and escaping for a few minutes during a long and hard work week! I have noticed that more and more especially with my fellow tweeters that besides relevant news, there are a ton of marketing going on!

SO my questing is... Is anyone seeing anything come from Tweeting or even advertising/marketing from Facebook?

And finally, I really want to start blogging and have found myself stuck. I am usually pretty creative and thoughtful but when I schedule myself to sit down for an hour to start my blog I go BLANK... I think I will start blogging about something I love which is selling real estate, my family and my awesome new home and neighborhood.

Well, blog #1... Now I just need real content to create words that people want to read!!!

Oh, by the way, I wanted to add an image from google images of FB and Twitter but didn't know if these are copy writed or not...

I personally hate Twitter, the only benefit to twitter I see is if I was a celebrity and people actually gave two cents of what I was doing on a minute by minute basis... But facebook on the otherhand has proved to be a strong tool for me, a good majority of my past and present clients are on my facebook, and anytime I close them I will do what I can to take a picture of them in front of the house or opening a closing gift in the house or something pertaining to the closed property, tag them in it so all their friends and family on their facebook will be able to see the pictures and by them clicking on the pics it takes it back to your page, and that is contributing to your referral base.

I like Twitter. I have met local people through Twitter, I have not sold anything to anyone I just know from Twitter but I am expanding my sphere of influence. I am not so good at Facebook though but I am trying.

I actually use Twitter as a news feed for hyper local content, facebook is another good way to have your friends follow your ActiveRain Blog plus facebook is a little more personal, put up some fun pictures as well.

Here is a link to for some blogging idea's

Awesome suggestions! Stacy, I love FB as well. Most of my clients, both current and past our friends with me on FB! And I often post on their posts and it's a great way to keep in touch. I am starting "get" twitter and actually think it will work great once I get my blog up and running consistant!

Dave, thanks for the link!
