Who has been using Social Media for Marketing?

[Dan Farrell]

I am interested to see what you are all doing regarding social media advertising. I am working on a hub method using a blog with twitter, facebook, and articles feeding that hub.

Has anyone found a more useful method?

James,

I know how you feel and it is the way I felt until I studied the subject from some strong internet marketers.

The goal is to build on-line relationships by adding value to help others. It takes time to build trust. It is not as simple as "conversion rate", The conversion rate will be directly proportional to the number of poeple in your network and the value of information you are providing.

Your properties can be discussed, your blog can be about certain part of real estate you love. If it is wholesaling for instance you can help others learn about what it is, how to get started, how to get funding, etc. This adds value that people will be interested in. They will want to explore your blog, sign up on your opt in list. Click links that your homes are for sale on, etc. They need to like you first.

This is why it is called social media. Hope that helps.
