:)You should start a thought leadership platform on a medium you feel comfortable with (blog/youtube/twitter/instagram/facebook) and document your journey and what you're learning.

Facebook, Instagram, local Meetup groups, volunteering, etc. 

My realtor friends show my listings all the time and post on Instagram and tag me, whether they are with my brokerage or not.

I'm looking to increase my social media presence via FB and Instagram. 

I think I saw an Instagram ad originally, which I never normally click on.

He pays me on time through Venmo each month, is friends with my neighbors (whom I'm also friends with), and is even friends with me on Instagram.

I just put on my Instagram description “pediatrician looking to transition out of medicine into real estate investing”.

The tattoos and music are ancillary things that could help build your personal brand on Instagram, but it does not tie in directly with your value as a realtor.

Cold calling, marketing, website design, FB/Google/Instagram ads?

@Rodolfo CordovaFor all the basics and building wholesaling business look into basic Instagram info from Jamil, Carlos & Sal, Listen to the Real Estate Disrupters podcast and folks on every episode will tell you all the same stuff about door knocking, pulling lists / skip tracking / cold calling, direct mail, ring less voicemail and all those other good things.
