The Art of Social Network Marketing
Have you noticed the number of social networking sites that are out there? It’s amazing how it starts with just one or two sites, then if it becomes hugely successful, everyone else jumps on the bandwagon. Which one do you join? Which one do you make an intregal part of your online marketing and promotional activity? I’m always getting invites to any new social networking site that comes along. I’m already a member of so many that I have a hard time keeping track of them:
Fanbox
Activerain
MySpace
Facebook
Orkut
MyAgentBook
MyBlogLog
LinkedIn
LiveJournal
Trulia
Twitter
Stumbleupon
YourTube
Zillow
Yahoo Answers
Plaxo
360 Yahoo
Wow! I didn’t know I belonged to so many until I started to compile information for this posting. So, now my challenge is to figure out how to best utilize all of these social networks without unindating everyone with tons of invitations. I’m always looking to make connedction with people and finding ways to help them with their real estate needs. But I would prefer not to become annoying to the point that people “run in the opposite direction” when I come along. Everyone remembers that one person you meet at a social gathering that is always trying to sell you something. Well, that’s what I don’t want to become. That is why the utilization of social networks is an art form. They are the best way to meet people in today’s technological world. You want to be able to connect with people without giving them the impression that all you want to do is sell them something. As for myself, I have other interests other then trying to sell real estate to everyone I meet. I am one of the founders of the Winslow Township Genealogical & Historical Society, I am an avid student of history itself. I also am the site moderator of the American Local History Network’s Camden County NJ web site . I also love trains and to that end I have been trying to put a project together that would detail the history of Winslow Junction, NJ. So, with me, not everything is business.
