Friending them on Facebook or socially interacting for example is a big mistake.

I'm a 32 yr old 'dinosaur' who refuses to use (nor do I have time for) social media, so I appreciate the tip :).

I have had numerous businesses through the years but it was serious health issue and the realization that disability social security payments would not allow me to live that made me want to build a successful RE portfolio.

Direct mail, Bandit signs, social media; which have you had a better response with?

You get a referral like you did from your realtor and you're borrowing his or her social equity with that contractor, then I can see the contractor doing a one off.

Different pictures on every social media account.

Has anyone Used Facebook or LinkedIn to promote there website/business?

They serve a purpose that everyone benefits from and for the most part they are content with what they have.Humans are no different than any other social colony.

They have a social mentality that you need to adapt to and can not set your standards too high while at the same time insuring they adhere to all community rules.
