Real Estate Online Education: Optimizing Twitter For Your Real Business Part 8

December 28, 2011

You should also cultivate relationships with any other types of real estate related professionals working with the types of clients you work with such as mortgage brokers, real estate lawyers, home inspectors, home appraisers, contractors, property managers, junk removers, cleanup & maintenance companies, and so forth.

In these articles I’ll soon discuss at length on where to look on Twitter for all the different types of target followers you should be seeking.  But before I get into that, it’s time for you to start micro-blogging on Twitter!

Time To Start Tweeting!

Before you start following anyone in Twitter, you should compose and send out a few tweets.  Sure, they won’t be sent to anyone since you have no followers (assuming you just registered your Twitter account), but these tweets will be displayed in your Twitter account, and that’s the point of doing this.  At this point it’s more important to develop your profile with some information about who you are and what you offer professionally rather than plunging in and looking for followers.

Think of your Twitter profile as a party.  If you invite people to your party you need to give them a reason to stick around or they won’t stay for long (or won’t show up at all).  For the first few people that show up, if the food and drink offerings are lackluster, the same music CD keeps playing over and over, and not many other people are showing up yet then you may have a difficult time getting people to stay.  If that happens then your party may never get much momentum through the evening and may ultimately turn out to be a dull affair.

However, if you lavishly cater your party, hire a DJ, bartender and maybe even some local socialites or models, it’ll free you up to focus your time on chatting and mingling with each of your guests while overseeing each aspect of your party and the party’s overall progress.  This will quickly create an overall vibe most people will find appealing, making them more likely to stay at your party and come to your future ones.
