That made it look ugly in print advertising. A Facebook fan page is a must and every agent should have one along with a Twitter and Youtube account.

Which is a bad choice because google does not index profiles and does index fan pages. You can also sell a fan page (think retirement and selling your data base)

PS: Fan my page and I will Fan you back. This will also give your page and mine more exposure by the way.

Just last week I recruited my first facebook agent, and it snowballed into three more before the week’s end. If used the way smarter people than me teach, it can become a powerful portion of your marketing effort. I suggest the mastermind panel video on soical media from megatech camp 2009 on kwconnect.

While it did not give a lot of technical info on setting up a video blog, it was a great message for mixing your passion (real estate for must of us) into a social media and video format.

This month I will be changing http://BuilderCoupon.com into a video blog. I am betting that video will increase my conversion rates on the website. It worked for Gary V!

I also set up a Fan Page for BuilderCoupon on Facebook, this way – I am not spamming friends and family with my irresistibe real estate marketing updates :)

The biggest advantage that I have seen is the ease in which knowledge can be gained, and shared. Not only can we connect with more people than ever before, we also get to see what is working for other Real Estate professionals. This helps us design our plan, learn and grow, and achieve a greater level of success. (and have some fun along the way!)

I can say that a key to social media is to manage the time you invest in it a keep an eye on the result you generate from it. I believe that the real time internet trends are a great opportunity and going forward website are going to evolve into actual retail spaces. Fully interactive (with a live chat solution) in order to help connect with your prospective clients while they are looking you up!

It is the best way to stay in constant contact with my SOI. The amount of leads generated is astounding.
Big in ’10? Hard to say, but I think twitter has peaked, while Facebook will continue to expand. I am waiting to see a more interactive “group” software in either Facebook or some such. I have some email threads going with some specific groups of people within Facebook but it’s clumsy at best.

Cheers,
Eric Benjamin
