5 Ways to make Facebook groups work for you

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Realty

Here are 5 tips from inman.com about how to utilize Facebook groups to help expand your network and business. 

 

1 Use the new Graph Search to find Facebook groups based on your interests.

2 Facebook groups enable you to make connections and “meet” new people before events so you can jump into the important stuff when you meet in real life.

3 Specific Facebook groups like the Evernote for Real Estate group or Tech Support for Real Estate Agents can work as an instant problem-solving hub.

4 Looking for a place to bounce off a marketing idea? Maybe you need some guidance after hours about a contract you’re working on. Your reliable Facebook group peers are a quick way to get some feedback.

5 Facebook groups are a great place to keep visiting long after an event is over. Keep in touch with your new contacts and friends you made — you may even stumble upon a lead or two.

Good list...especially the last one.  It is called social media, which does mean keeping in touch.

Facebook or any and all social media can really take a huge amount of time.  I really wonder if it's worth it?

Jack: Facebook Groups are a good way to connect and learn but it takes follow through to see the results.  Please consider adding this post to the Facebook Fridays Group here on AR.

Jack-Thanks for providing information on how to use Facebook effectively. My knowledge in the area of Facebook is pretty weak.

Great advice! Interaction among the active facebook group is really very appreciative as it will helps to remain updated with latest news and information. The key to social media is to engage your fans and not just preach to the choir.

Carter good tips!  Another  tip I'd like to add is stay clear of groups that become negative. I've seen a couple of real estate groups go south in complaining & whiney manner and I just don't have time for that type of group. I stick with the groups that are upbeat and positive.

Great tips! Facebook or any type of social media takes time but should be worked in to your work routine.  The time spent on it really does pay off.  I have gotten several leads through my persoanl facebook page and have found some great information interacting with other realtors on Real Estate Agent Group: Collaboration Tips and Insights.
