Have you heard of Twitter? Twitter is the most exciting new Web 2.0 type of communications that we have out there today.
The way that Twitter works and what it is for is that you have a blank slate of an account. You do searches through Twitter for people or subjects and when you find people that are interesting then you can go and “follow” these people. As you follow others they will follow you back so that every time that you sent a “tweet” (a comment, a small text message) then the people following you will see the message and on the other side you will get to see all the people in your list of people that you follow.
So how can you use this as a Realtor?
You can lean from other people in the Real Estate industry
You can become the go to Realtor in your marketplace
You can build relationships with other Realtors
It is difficult with Twitter to really hone in on your market but is of course possible. Do a search on Twitter for your city and just start adding these people from your town or city.
So what are you going to write in your comments?
First of all do not try to market to people. The best thing to do is to make sure that you are always helping others. The real problem for us marketers online is that it is really irritating to others that we try to sell to. People think of Twitter nad Web 2.0 sites as a place where there is no marketing and so any heavy handed marketing would be seen as offensive to others.
What you really want to do is add value to people and they will naturally ask questions about real estate to you.
