Understanding Social Media
www.SlideShare.net/LindaDavis
The Rules:
• Some of what I say today is my opinion. You can
probably do it bigger, better, or different.
• It is more about good content than
it is about technology.
• Anything I say today could be
outdated tomorrow.
• Social media is a conversation.

Why engage in
social media?
If you close your eyes,
social media is not going away.
Social Media Video 2013 - Erik Qualman
2012 NAR Technology Survey
“A primary benefit of social media is the ability
to reach out to consumers, even when they
are NOT ready to contact you.”
P.S. Millennials (gen Y) are using social networking
to make big picture decisions.
Are you
committed enough
to use social
media as a tool?
Social Media is simple – but that doesn’t mean it won’t take
some time, creativity and enthusiasm.
“If you want to become an expert (at anything),
you’d better be obsessed.”
-Ted Coine
What is your
social media
goal?
• More likes?
• More friends?
• Make money?
Have fun?
• Highest level of Candy Crush?
My goal is to become a valuable
resource and as a result, build
relationships.
Who is your
audience?
$old another hou$e how do we spell
closing? Let me $ee if I po$$ibly can
remember.......Hmmmm OH yeah it'$
coming back to me now. It'$ called:
************** M O N E Y **************
that green $tuff
Who is your audience?
• Other real estate agents?
• Potential relocating clients?
• Other users with a shared interest?
My primary audience?
Members of my local community.
How Social
do I Need to
be?
Are you there to meet them?
Where are your potential clients?
Make the most of Linked In
https://www.linkedin.com
Take Advantage of your Summary
Take Advantage of Your Experiences.
Recommendations
Who should you be?
Facebook Personal Profile??
Facebook Business Page??
Facebook Group?
Consider combining personal and business in one post.
My facebook tips for a Page:
• Don’t create a page because you think you should.
• Don’t name your page after your company* or yourself.
• Don’t use the word real estate in the name of your page.
• Facebook is more about content than it is about technology.
• Stay focused on a location or topic.
• Comment and like other pages in your area or niche.
• Use photos, photos, photos!
One of my goals as a real estate agent is to
become a valuable resource.
Become a Resource
Create a Facebook Community Group
Difference Between a Facebook Page and a Group
Pages
Communication: Page admins can share posts under the Page’s name. Page posts appear in
the feeds of people who like the Page and their friends.
Groups
Communication: In groups, members receive notifications by default when any member posts
in the group. Group members can participate in chats, upload photos to shared
albums, collaborate on group docs and invite members who are friends to group events.
https://www.facebook.com
My facebook tips for creating a Group:
• Facebook is more about content than it is about technology.
• Stay focused on a location or topic.
• Post regularly, changing up your type of content.
• Become a resource.
• Encourage Community Involvement.
• Have fun.
• Have rules.
• Invite Movers and Shakers to Participate
Twitter
Twitter - You answer the question “what are you
doing?” and you are sharing that status with the group
of people who have chosen to follow you. At the same
time, you are following the status updates of the people
you’ve chosen to follow.
