5 Reasons Why You Should Keep Social Networking

Ced, great reasons for social networking.  I need to do a better job in this area.  I think that I would add that you feel better and happier as a person as well when you're in contact with a lot of people!

Social networking is one MAJOR key to success...thanks for the post.

Ced, I LOVE your AR picture. You look fun.

I take a lot of classes from Keller Williams here in Vancouver, WA. In one of my classes I learned a hint. Stop carrying your business cards. Sounds wild, huh? But in order to GET contact information from someone else, carry a tiny notebook and write down their name and promise to mail them a card. And then mail them a card and a note, and then of course contact them on a regular basis.

I agree You need to stay out there or people will forget about you. Thanks for the post.

Ced, Are you reading my mind. I keep doing everything waiting for the season to change. I won't get discouraged. You and Jill both have great ideas. Thanks for the encouragement.

This Real Estate Market has been a big test for me and others as well. Like you said Ced,this is a season. But Change is on the way and on November 4,2008-I SAW THE CHANGE. Great post.

Cedric, good post! There is something good to be said about social networking.

Ced .. thanks for this article about social networking, a genuine activity, connecting with people.  Best wishes. Harrison

I think social networking is key to success. All of your connections will eventually weave a tapestry of success.

Ced, you're absolutely right.  Social networking can and will eventually open doors for you.  Besides, no storm can last forever. 

Jill, that's a good comment.  I was looking for an agent 3 years ago and let an agent know that I was looking to buy a home... she handed me her business card, I lost it, never called her, went to someone else who got my info and stayed in touch... I learned something from that experience and it's exactly what you said.

Hi Cedric - It's much easier to maintain a social networking presence rather than rebuild one. We may not know where the next lead comes from, or when the market will shift, but by being consistent in our online presence we will be better positioned when it happens.

Cedric - Great post.  Social networking could be a good source of leads and referrals. 

LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!!  Thank you for posting this and your encouraging words to work through this season while keeping in touch with people.  For some of us it is a challenge to constantly be looking for a way into meeting new and more people in order to increase the amount that know you and can call when the need presents itself.  At the same time life can be lonely and sad if we are only running from one responsibility to the next without connecting and getting to know the people along the way.  Terrific! 

Great post Ced and you are so right!
