subject: Using Twitter Wisely [print this page] For those who engaged in real estate business joining twitter is a good idea. It is one way to help brokers to keep in touch with other agents in a split of a second. It is also ideal for promoting special offers to the brokers in your area, and one thing to remember in posting on Twitter that it is recorded and available to view in public.
Think smart in using the Twitter. Here are the three ways on how to use it effectively:
Build a networks. Start using twitter as a networking resource, after setting up an account and signing in. Next thing to do is to head on over to Twitter search and look for a particular keywords like real estate, real estate marketing, real estate investment, etc., follow those people with same interest of yours. Networking on Twitter can really be a good thing: You never know when one of your followers or Twitter contacts or a contact of a contact will know someone you're interested in talking to or networking with. Like I've mentioned before, even questions can get answered quickly.
Keep in touch with clients and others. This can be a great way to keep in touch with your clients and potential clients. You can put it on your business card along with your email address and your phone number, add your Twitter ID. If your client is a Twitter user also a chance to be followed and you can even talk to your clients using the direct message. The twitter internal messaging system.
An educational resource. In this economy things are just changing every day. Actually, those changes happened hour by hour. Most likely if you want to know something from your twitter friends or what they called "followers" will notify you. With the use of twitter you can now know the latest information and news faster than the usual way. Other than that you can get faster response if you ask question about something, faster than when searching the Google for the same information.
It will not be effective and useful if you have just created an account and not using it. The more often you tweet the more followers can you have, it really will help your business in real time, especially if you are in the real estate business.
