For the last few weeks, especially the last few days I feel like I’m “drinking from a fire hose”…
But a little more H20 started flowing through the hose last Wednesday, when I suddenly realized ……………….
that I had the wrong date for Real Estate Bar Camp / Orlando that I had planned to attend… as in OMG!, it’s today. After giving it some thought (No, you cannot jump in the car and drive there … that’s a waste of time), I recalled attending my first on line RE Bar Camp and noting how many were using twitter to add to the presentations being made.
Now, I’ve been “on twitter” for > 1year, but haven’t taken the time to figure out how to incorporate it into my daily use. Sure enough though, I’m now getting the #REBCORL feed complete with commentary and even links to a few of the presenters’ presentations. Not only that, but with a few clicks, I’m learning about those tweeting and finding links to their twitter profiles, blogs, and web sites …. Fire Hose! This stuff is good, and could undoubtedly provide all the material one could want for posting to your blog and/or sharing with referral partners to help them with their social media strategy and business … so I’m bookmarking … reading … following links … and bookmarking some more. 51 bookmarks later, I’m done!
So I thought that in this post I would share some of those “items” I came across. Perhaps you’ll find a “nugget” or two to incorporate in your on line presence, social media strategy, or real estate business.
Presentations:
Top 20 Social Media To-Do List by Lesley Lamb. Here’s a very short (really, just 4 pages) outline of 20 key steps to implementing a sound social media strategy. What I love about what Lesley did is she broke the steps down into five elements each for channel: Twitter, Facebook, Blogging, and Media. Kudos!
Geolocation, Geolocation, Geolocation by Morriss Partee.
