I keep thinking I’m going to stop posting here. \u00a0I keep thinking that I’m going to get sucked into the vortex of rancor that BHB can be. \u00a0 And then we get these gems of conversation from Brian<\/a>, Jeff<\/a>, Al <\/a>& Greg<\/a>. \u00a0And I’m drawn right back in. \u00a0 Nothing’s perfect, everybody’s crazy, right? \u00a0Life goes on, and the closest I will get to a rebuttal of Greg’s impractical rancor<\/a> is that it’s wallet-foolish to criticize someone that competes for some of the same business you do. Saving my rancor for when it matters has doubled my income. Your milage may vary.<\/p>\n

I digress. Circling back to my take on Facebook. \u00a0 I post there often, it’s in my opening tabs as I start my computer. \u00a0I look around and peruse. \u00a0I make some money from it, mostly in the form of the zombies.<\/p>\n

Zombies? \u00a0These are the strangers that add me randomly on Facebook. \u00a0I consider that an “opt in”, so I add them back and put them on a “social media” list in Heap<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And then I send my new pseudo-friends a torrent of spam and calls. \u00a0They cry uncle with an Amex. \u00a0 They are mostly realtors.<\/p>\n

I process my queue about once a month and I wind up with 75-80 “leads”. \u00a0This generates about $3500 in new business. \u00a0$50 bucks a friend, y’all can add me all day long.<\/p>\n

This is what most Realtors that are hustling do on Facebook. At least there’s effort here, which is more than I can say for those that strive to monetize whatever should flit across their subconscious.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Anyhow, enjoy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
