So many people are afraid of social media, or love to say how much they dislike it in the real estate industry. I ask – have they really even checked it out? There are so many great places online for a real estate agent to begin to use social media and understand how to use it.
From free webinars, blog talk radio, websites, and much more to give you overviews and basic information to the membership based sites that provide you will truly substantial instruction that can result in incredible lead generation. Knowing where to find the tools and resources is half the battle.
Start by using Google, searching for real estate in your local market, seeing what other agents are doing. Reading their blogs is also a great way to start your exploration. Checking YouTube for videos and training is also a great place to go, I often find Tom Ferry videos very useful, or even using RAW as your resource. Beyond that you can search on BlogTalkRadio.com for great information.
A few great resources:
Don’t be afraid to try new things. There is no right or wrong way to do anything really, it is what and how things work for you as an individual which is far more important. So get out there and test the waters!
You can find success in social media for real estate, you have no reason to listen to those that fear and loathe it.
