Social Networking with the Realtor® in Mind

A new thing (relatively-speaking) on the world wide web is the whole idea of social networking. Simply put, social networking is about connecting with people online. And so you have the rise of the various social networking sites: MySpace, Facebook, LinkedIn and even ActiveRain for real estate professionals where like-minded individuals and groups share information and make connections (business or otherwise). (To see a list of the many social networks out there and the numbers of participants, CLICK HERE. MySpace is #1 with 110 million registered users.) I came across a video that's a very good starter tutorial on how social networking works and the benefits to users which you can view below. I think it'll worth your while just to know the basics of social networking and to consider how it might benefit you as a real estate professional and your business. It's the wave of the future for all business models.
