I was reading the newest email from Mr. Internet, linking us to a few of the latest and greatest articles on his blog, and this one caught my mind. It is entitled, “Social Networking is Here to Stay…Are You Connected?”, written by Carrie Gable…a good read, nothing earth-shattering…but good solid info.
Carrie list four social networks that should be in use by real estate professionals. They are:
I utilize all of these social networks for my clients, but I have to say, my favorite is Active Rain; however, just like your daily diet…chocolate might be your favorite, but that doesn’t mean that you can ignore the other food groups! Facebook, Twitter and Linked In are all valuable tools…and if you don’t use them, chances are very good that you’re leaving money on the table. The links above all link to my profile pages on each certain network, feel free to connect to me as you check them out.
Other than just joining the above networks, Carrie points out that you can place very targeted ads on Facebook, suggests that you join or create groups on Active Rain to make connections, follow industry and technology leaders on Twitter and post your profile in resume format on Linked In for networking with over 10 million users!
I suggest signing up for Mr. Internet’s Blog updates to receive good articles, like Carrie’s, weekly so that you can stay up to date on great tips and resources for the real estate industry by visiting his site and using the subscription box on the right sidebar.
