If you haven’t caught this message on the Real Estate Tomato, Jim Cronin and I will be hosting a social media webinar at 1PM (PST) – 2:30PM (PST), today:
Blogging ain’t enough if you want to put up big numbers on the scoreboard. I play this game to win so I’m all about scoring points. Every day, I want to hit a grand slam, catch one in the end zone, score a hat trick, or hammer three-pointers. I EXPECT to win, every single day, because of my social media strategy.
Five years ago, I started learning how to use social media to circumvent the pending “Do Not Call” legislation. Since college, I always made my living on the telephone. A typical day consisted of me rooting through my rolodex, with two-phones glued to each ear. That damned “Do Not Call” list threatened my very existence
LinkedIn changed all that, in 2003. I was invited to LinkedIn and found that I was the only mortgage guy in a roomful of well-earning tech folks, who owned homes. Myspace came, in 2004. I honed the rich demographic data to connect me with REALTORs by creating and promoting a group called MLS on Myspace. Active Rain was a no brainer. Facebook is the perfect combination to mix both consumer direct and professional referral platforms.
I’ll be walking, step-by-step, through the mechanics of :
1- setting up a profile on LinkedIn and Facebook
2- adding people you know to your sphere of influence on thos platforms
3- How to identify potential referral opportunities within your contacts’ contacts
4- How to engage the respective communities.
