Tiny Market Share Isn’t Stopping Twitter Marketers
The latest US-based figures from Hitwise show Twitter is the fourth most popular online social network with a tiny market share of just over one percent.
Twitter: The Ultimate Time-Waster?
What’s the defining factor that makes Twitter a valuable business tool rather than a waste of time? Successful Twitter users have these factors in common:
New Social Tool for Aussie Agents
With the importance of social media for real estate agents becoming clearer by the day, the team at Classified Ad Ventures (owner of propertyadguru.com) have come up with a new social tool to help Australian agents: SOBOX.
SOBOX aims to provide agents with “social media in a box”, taking any hassle associated with setting up and maintaining their social media presence out of the equation.
Is Facebook Part of Your Plan?
Up until last week, you might have been content to leave Facebook out of your online marketing strategy. But now that we’ve seen this particular social network topple Google in terms of visits in the US, chances are you’re starting to re-think your position.
tweetmehomes.com Lists on Twitter
One of the big debates surrounding the use of Twitter in real estate is whether listings should be broadcast through the social networking tool. Some argue that Twitter should be all about relationship building, while others say the occasional listing is perfectly ok to include. Still others are in favour of Twitter accounts that only tweet listings, maintaining they will only reach those who are truly interested.
tweetmehomes.com is a new US-based Twitter service that comes down firmly on the “listings only” side of the debate.
Make the Most of Facebook Fans
With all the hype surrounding Twitter over the last 12 months, you could be forgiven for wondering whether Facebook is gradually going out of style. In fact, it might come as a surprise to learn that Facebook is more popular than ever, and businesses are quickly realising that over 100 million monthly visitors in the US alone is a potential audience they can’t afford to ignore.
realtown.com Reaches 150,000 Users
realtown.com, a US online community that aims to cover all things real estate, has now passed the 150,000 registered users mark. Its current total is 153,858 member, which puts it slightly short of activerain.com’s total of 168,099 members.
realtytrac.com Goes Social
US foreclosure marketplace realtytrac.com has introduced a social media element to encourage discussion amongst users.
RealtyTrac Community, which is free to join, covers topics such as buying, selling, home values, investing, and realtytrac.com features.
realtytrac.com says visitors can seek out local real estate experts and ask questions on neighbourhoods, schools, market conditions, financing, and foreclosure activity.
wecando.biz Finds Twitter Leads
UK based website wecando.biz has launched a service that helps businesses find leads by sorting through tweets and highlighting those that match preset criteria.
The new “Twitter Sales Leads” service was recently launched in public beta, and now costs £22.95 per month. According to the company’s blog, Twitter Sales Leads searches for keywords and filters results to show only those that include an expressed need, request for a product, or service recommendation.
