Facebook Marketing

What's happening Rainers? The weather in Facebook land is bright and sunny, especially if you have been using the platform this week to spread the good news about your local real estate market! Shares about local events, reviews, and the communities you provide RE service to are also great ways to keep consumer interest.

This week I again broke a few FB rules (according to the "experts") with good results (listing appt and guest blog opportunity). The majority of my offerings on my biz page where listing/sold posts but I did spend about 30 minutes this week catching up in the local FB groups I belong to. 

No hard or soft selling in the groups, just catching up and being helpful where I could. I hope you are doing the same in your local FB groups...they are a great way to increase brand exposure and generate plenty of leads.

Let's take a few minutes and do some good old fashioned visitin' ya'll! ;-)

PLEASE stop by these Rainers' Facebook Fan Pages, LIKE their page, and leave a comment. It is always nice to reciprocate, so if you are visited, please take a minute and return LIKE those that stopped by your Facebook Fan Page.

Helping each other definitely helps us all on social media...enjoy Rainers!

Anita Clark - breaking the rules is similar to thinking outside the box - it always works, when done right, of course...(and that's what one can expect from you - doing it right, we all look upon your advice every Friday....)

I visited and liked all the pages.  Of course I was already FB friends with Gabe Sanders in Florida.  I love this Anita.  It's a great way for us to meet new people in the Rain and network amongst ourselves!  Thanks.  I also Liked some of the agents who left their links above.  Q. How does one know if they have or have not been featured on your Facebook Fridays?

But you did show up and that gets you credit. ;-)  Thanks as always Hannah.

Very nice of you to take the time to leave them a note, Thomas.

Diana Dahlberg It really is a great way to meet and be seen at the same time. I check...you have been featured before but I am now including one each week who I have featured previously (and you will be that person this week). So good to see and share with you on Co-Promote too!

I found out about Co-Promote from you and I have tried to be active ... and of course i see you every week!  It's amazing how we can network with one another on-line and get to know one another from so far away!  Thank you so much for including me again!  I sure was not expecting any special treatment.  You spoil me! Hope you had a Happy Mother's Day!
