Real Estate Bloggers: Increase Your RSS Subscribers with Facebook

By NikNik · September 12, 2007

If you are a member of Facebook, you have most likely been hugged, poked, or even superpoked by now. With over 2000 applications available on Facebook, it can be a daunting task to uncover the ones actually worthy of installing. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for fun and interesting…and covet my iLike Music Expert status. But recently I’ve taken advantage of a fairly new application that real estate bloggers may enjoy and benefit from. The Blog Friends application allows you to share your blog and feed with your Facebook friends, and your friends’ friends.

With Blog Friends, you can:

Track blog posts made by friends—on topics that interest you
Display those blog posts on your profile page
Increase your network of friends with additional blog exposure
Increase your RSS feed count with RSS feed icons on Facebook

So real estate agents, if you are already on Facebook, this seems like a win-win application to take advantage of now! Viral marketing techniques are often criticized and the word “viral” alone calls out for hand sanitizer. That’s why I prefer the term “spiral”. Spiders work quickly and efficiently when making their webs, so why shouldn’t bloggers do the same. If a spider can utilize the wind to effectively to carry its adhesive thread…then its only fitting to make Facebook’s technology work for real estate bloggers. So consider installing the Blog Friends application and let the wind carry your thread.

Hi NikNik,

Thanks for the kind words about Blog Friends - we’re glad you’re finding it useful.

As you’ve noticed, it’s a great way of increasing readership, especially when you have a large facebook network, but it’s also good for finding new blogs through the “friend of a friend” feature.

I must be tired this morning, as I tried to find this app on this post and on Facebook, but couldn’t. Do you have a link?

Well, I planned to provide a link but I just kept ending up at the Facebook login. (Maybe I need a shot of espresso.)Anyway, once you log into Facebook, just enter the keywords “blog friends” in the search and it should be the first app displayed up top. -Nicole
