Realtors and Loan Officers, ignore Facebook at your own peril.

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

If you have been around me for any period of time I most likely have brought up integrating Facebook into your Arizona Real Estate marketing.

This week, leveraging Facebook in your  Arizona real estate marketing got some validation.

Facebook has now eclipsed Google as the most visited website on the Internet.

Let me say that again…..

More people are going to Facebook daily than Google.

Hitwise recently reported that market share of visits to Facebook.com increased 185% last week from the same week in 2009. And Google grew 9%.

Facebook vs Google visits

Let me ask you a dumb question: If I told you that all your past, present and future clients would be in isle 6 at Safeway tonight at 8:00PM, would you go?

Of course you would, you would be insane not to.

Well all your past, present and future clients are using Facebook.

Do you know how to use Facebook to reach them?

Realtor’s and Loan Officers, ignore Facebook at your own peril.

SMUrcle. The How To Get Business With Social Media

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

SMUrcle

You’ve heard all the statistics before “There are over 400 Million people on Facebook”, “Over 10,000 people are joining Twitter every day”, “12% of people have blogs” on and on and on.  You have also most likely attended a class on Facebook or Twitter in the last year, maybe the instructor you had was rookie enough to try and explain them both in the same class.  Regardless of how many classes you have attended about social media, you most likely left feeling like you were trying to drink out of a firehose and the class likely focused on WHY you should be using  social media.  What about the HOW?

There is just so much to learn and lets face it, you have so little time.  You are out listing and selling properties! Not that time is the only challenge you have….Do you actually know anyone that is getting leads or closing deals because of Social Media?  Probably not.  Lets face it, there is really  no incentive for a competing Realtor or loan officer to show you how to generate leads using social media.  Remember the old saying “teach the man to fish or give the man a fish?”

Introducing SMUrcle.

What Is SMUrcle?

Social. Media. University. rcle.

In a world where everyone wants to talk about the WHY, SMUrcle is the HOW.

How to implement Facebook and your Blog
How to Blog for business
How to implement Twitter in your business.
How to syndicate your content
How to write content
How to write to rank in Google and Bing and much more.
SMUrcle is How to DO.

You already know that you should be using facebook and facebook fanpages, and twitter, and YouTube and Vidler and RSS feeds and landing pages and blogs and widgets and well you get the point…. you know you should be using these tools to generate business but you may not know HOW.

SMUrcle is a 4-6 week series taught by industry professionals that ARE getting leads and ARE closing deals using social media.  SMUrcle consists of professional bloggers- some outside of the real estate industry, SEO professionals, custom website/blog designers, Realtors, Loan Officers and a title rep (guess who that is).  SMUrcle is a series of 1 hour classes that address the HOW.  You bring your laptop and you learn HOW.   The best part, It’s FREE. (that’s the #1 trigger word….we will address that too)

SMUrcle classes start in March 2010.  Visit SMUrcle.com to
