I think it really comes down to choosing your channels. I love blogging, you love blogging…but not all agents want or should be blogging. I have several clients that choose to focus their efforts inside Facebook with great results….just as you both ROCK your blog! My point…keep on, keepin’ on…because you’re both passionate about the channel you’re using to reach your network and THAT’S the best strategy of all! ROCK ON!

Social Media is the new buzz word – and if you don’t get it now, you’re going to miss out on the boat. However, you need to put in the hard yards, and despite what you say, there is no shortcut to success!

Comment on dsIDXPress: Search Engine Friendly IDX by Renee Burrows

I have had this on my site for a little over a week and I am not disappointed at all with the results. I really don’t have many link structures built but checking my analytics, I was getting visits almost immediately from people googling addresses. I do agree that the traffic shoots up and down but oh well. At least I don’t have to pay the $300-400 a month that most of the idx solution sites that promise traffic to you by buying you adwords to get a similar effect.

I prefer the blog way too. I think that facebook might be a great way for promoting your business, but you need to dedicate a lot of extra time to it. That’s the biggest problem for me at the moment.

I agree, you shouldn’t try every widget that was ever invented. The key is finding the ones that are going to complement your website.

I agree having fully automated systems would be like sending someone else to a networking event in your place.

Hey Nicole!

Great post as always – it can often be difficult to discern when to talk about what – but I love the ’social capital’ concept! Make more deposits than withdrawls and you’ll soon be rich!
Cheers Girl!

Nicole, Great post! You’re spot on – when we developed SocialMadeSimple (www.socialmadesimple.com, which I got to show you briefly at ReConnect SF) this was our dilema too – how do we make Social Networking as easy as possible WITHOUT doing it FOR the agents, because there’s nothing “social” about a service that just posts things for you.

I think that people who only see Social Media as the new “SEO” tool, can use “post for you” services, as it will create newer content for the search engines to find. But I think one of the largest things that people who don’t participate in their own social network marketing efforts miss out on are the opportunities to have conversations!

Reading what your contacts are saying and responding to them is the best way to foster lasting relationships – not to mention on a technical side, making a comment on a post is the easiest way to put yourself in front of the people you’re NOT already connected to!

Thanks again for putting to words what we believe so strongly.

Nicole,

Lots of work = lots of opportunity.

I think Teri said it best at Reboot…the pie is big, and their are plenty of slices for everyone. And since I recently went to the Cheesecake Factory, I’m thinking there are actually several pies. I’m an Adam’s Peanut Butter Fudge Ripple! What are you?
