Hello fellow bloggers and guests! Today I thought it would be a good idea to do a little self promotion about our social networking efforts. I think most realtors who harness the internet are using social networking to reach out to their past, present and future clients. It is a changing world and everything is becoming interconnected. When I think of the future of social media, business terms such as convergence or synergy come to mind. So far we have used social sites such as Facebook and Twitter to promote our listings and we have not used it to solicit for business. I don’t think we will ever use it to directly solicit for business.. Simply because we don’t feel that people want to be bombarded by constant solicitation. Instead we indirectly market to people. We make our presence known and allow people to “like” us ot ”follow” us if they feel like it. I think Twitter is the worst for direct solicitation. With Twitter, we get many people who we don’t even know trying to sell us a new product every day. This to me is no different then a cold caller trying to solicit to me on the telephone.

Realtor 2.0 or 3.0 will need to utilize social networking in the future because of this ever changing world we are living in. Just the other day I read the Facebook has 500,000 million users. If Facebook were a country it would be the third largest country in the world. This is a big deal and people need to sit up and take notice. Business practices are changing and will never be the same.

I am actually excited about the changes. I have to admit I was a bit negative towards Facebook in the beginning because I didn’t know how it could help me in my business. I thought it was just for people who wanted to play games like Mafia Wars or Farmville. My opnion has changed and I can really see the power of social media. I think the key to using Facebook and other social networking sites is to be non-intrusive and try to add value to what you have to say. I also think it is important to get involved and get interested in what others have to say as well.

That’s all I have say about this for now..
