7 ways to use social media to help your business


Social media is here to stay. Are YOU using it right? Here are 7 tips to drastically increase your business by using social media the RIGHT way.
* Remind all of your friends and followers 18 times a day that you are a Realtor, and that if they know anybody that is buying or selling, that they MUST call you. Don't forget to be pushy and desperate.
* Every Saturday and Sunday morning, remind everybody that you are holding an open house that Sunday afternoon, and that there will be cookies.
* Post your political views and argue with anybody that disagrees.
* Post pictures of you at the bar with your friends getting blasted. It's CRITICAL that all pictures of you include a drink (hell, why not two??) in your hand.
* Send friend requests to all other Realtors in your area.
* Cuss. A lot.
And my NUMBER ONE tip for using social media to increase your business...
Drum roll please...
* POST YOUR LISTINGS EVERYWHERE AND REPEATEDLY. Post em on Facebook every hour. Tweet em every half an hour. PUT EM EVERYWHERE because all of your friends and followers want to see them.

Remember though, everything you do takes time. Be consistent with this list. In three months when you see the increase in your business, please send a check to :

Jared, you forgot to mention for agents to change the pictures on their business cards to include "duck lips."

Thanks for the laugh! Sadly some of the post I see online from other real estate agents leave me in total shock - I can't imagine what they are thinking.

if you plan to post your listings on FB make sure you mix it up, don't be predictable in SM

AND - send GAME requests to the other Agents. That way, they will be so bizee playing dumb games, they won't have time for real business, and you snatch up their neglected Clients!!!

Damn it, Jared, we're Real-a-tors - and Libertarians, too! - and we'd never do this! (Whatchoo mean, what's a Libertarian? You don't like Libertarians, or what?) But anyway, we want to remind you that we have an open howse house this weekend at our new listing, isn't she a beauty? We know it needs a little work, but any good handyman will have her in tip top shape in no time! Take a look:
NEW LISTING! Priced to sell, just ask us!

Oh, did you see the new pic of us at Inman? (Or was it RETSO? Or maybe Rain Camp?) Anyway, it was a frakkin' blast, lookit:

What a great event this was, huh? And those speakers! You know, whats his name and the SM guru? Cheers!
So WTF?? You coming to the open howse, or what?? I did tell you it was this weekend, right? Don't forget to refer me to all your friends, OK? You wanna be our friend, too?
Oh yeah, great post, thanks for sharing!

Now lets see... if you could get every one of your competitors to strictly adhere to this list...
No don't. You wouldn't have any time left over to share your wit on Active Rain.

Enjoyed this... but it's "sad funny" as the problem is how much this describes so many agents out there!

Great title; you had me ready to go! My favorite is the reminder to argue with people whose political views differ from mine :)

I had to read this twice before I realized you were kidding! The first time, I am thinking - "He can't be serious?"
