Social Media Prospecting?

[Kyle Clark]

So Im on Facebook, Linkedin and Twitter.

Facebook I have heard you can send messages to people you dont know as long as you stay under like 20 messages in a row. But I notice they go to peoples "other folder" or something which might be resulting in the low response. How do you know if theyre going through?

Now for linkedin Im not too sure how to prospect. Networking with professionals like lawyers, CPAs, Taxpreps and whatnot might get some tiny result. Whats a better way to be productive on this site?

Now as for twitter I have no idea how to prospect, Im not too familiar with this site. I know how to use their advance search feature which can be useful, but how can I use this to a greater use?

Im a new real estate agent. Im focusing the majority of my energy on Doorknocking, followed by targeted cold calls and then online prospecting. I want to make as many contacts as I can and make those people who arent #%#$^holes into friends and lifelong clients.

Whats working for you on the social media front? Im trying to focus on prospecting now as a new agent. Those groups/fanpages though might be good in the future.
