Thread: Twitter Users

I'm not a twitter user since Twitter is only a spam tool.
But, to promote your business, you'll have to put your URL in your tweets...
I was following 3 people and got 50 to 60 URL daily for their business. So I stop Twitter...It's worse than my junk emails....

Twitter never really worked for me. Seems like everyone's busy posting links and none or only a few are reading it...Ive tracked my links on twitter and got very dissapointing results as far as click thru are concern but you might be lucky enough to network with some good contacts if you are persistent and patient enough like some of the agents and brokers here in the forum....

I imagine some groups are not as spammy as the real estate ones...

The best part about twitter that social sites like facebook do not have is the search ability. You are able to search what people are "tweeting" about, and that can be a valuable resource to your real estate business.

a few successful twitter agents in my area are:
@runnergrllkn
and
@beerealty

You must post something of interest to others. For example, I was introduced to Larry Goins and Than Merrill 2 weeks ago
and learned alot just speaking to them. I posted a remark
in regards to that and all of the sudden people wanted to know
what we talked about and started following me on twitter.
Give them something of substance. Not "Heading to bed now".
That doesn't catch people's interest.

Twitter effective but you have to regular need to be in touch with twitter followers and followings otherwise it been useless you need to keep posting regular interesting post.

Youve shed some light....Unless I use it as an interactive tool to communicate or build relationships ( just like the chatroom module ), it would probably be just another tool for spamming....Silly me, thats what social networking is all about afterall isn't it?

I wrote a bit about why twitter is useful here:

Using Twitter In Real Estate


One way is that even if you don't post, it can be helpful to follow top agents in your area to keep up with market news (and gossip). From there, you can decide if it's worth actually "tweeting" yourself.

I have been a twitter user since long and i can say that twitter can really do wonders if you can do it right. just make sure of a few things,

1 - Do NOT post them a url , and your marketing url, never.
2- You will be surprised how many followers you can get when you are posting interesting stuff, not going to bed tonight. type stuff, instead use something like, i saw that girl, i wonder if she is married or not, and add a lot of descriptions.

People love descriptions,

In no time , you will have like thousands of followers, and they are the ones who are going to be actually working for you, 24x7, retweeting you. all the time.

Its' called viral marketing
