Selling Real Estate Using Twitter
At all real estate meetings, boot camps, or seminars the topic of advertising comes up. Everyone will mention Facebook (that's a whole different story) which is likely closely followed by a comment about Twitter. So... let's evaluate is Twitter valuable? If it IS worth it, how can you best use it for the best results? First, lets look at just what Twitter really is and what it can accomplish for your marketing efforts.
Twitter.com is a site where an investor can create a profile and become a "micro-blogger" Twitter is like a typical blog (aka web-log) in that it lets you say anything you want to say to anyone and everyone who will view it - with one exception. Twitter only allows a subscriber to express themselves--0 characters at a time. So it's a kind of like using you cell phone to send the world a brief text message. When you locate a profile of someone whose "tweets" you are interested in, you can "follow" them - whenever they post anything new, it will be visible on your Twitter home page. If anyone finds YOUR profile and follows YOU, then you will be alerted that someone is "following" you. Now that you are aware of the basics, let's discuss making this a powerful and PROFITABLE tool for you.
Because the old adage "Out of sight, out of mind" is usually true, you'll need to stay active with your "tweeting" you should be posting at least once a day. Find something to say specific to real estate - something that other people will find useful. If you just start blasting info about properties you have for sale, it probably won't get you as far as you hope. After all - when was the last time you opened and read an email from someone trying to sell you something?
If you give your followers information they can use or information they find interesting (even if it ISN'T about real estate) then you'll have an opportunity to keep their attention. When you gain their trust, they'll be more willing to consider what you have to say when you do offer them a property you have listed.
Twitter, like other social networking sites, is a good way to connect with others - just keep in the forefront of your mind that they're people and want to be acknowledge like people. They aren't money makers. So connect when a person follows you, send them a short personal message letting them know you appreciate it.
Remember that being real with others and giving thoughtful content is what Twitter is made for - the profit will follow if you treat people like people and post routinely so that your Twitter marketing is constantly on the radar! The more you "Tweet", the larger your following will become - and the larger your following, the better your opportunities of communicating with a person who is interested in making a deal - which, of course, means a greater opportunity for you to profit! - 23218
