Active Rain came to town!
It was a full room last week when the Rain Gang showed up. They came armed with T-shirts, goody bags and a ton of great technology tips with practical applications for them.
This day wasn’t for the weak of heart, the information came with the force of a fire hydrant unleashed on a hot summer’s day. No one complained we just wrote as fast as we could taking notes and hoping against hope we could remember it next week!
Here’s my Top TEN Tips from RainCamp:
- Brad Andersohn’s presentation on the Top FREE Real Estate Tools 2009 http://slidesha.re/2rHprP
- Find out what influencers are talking about on Twitter, use Klout
- Active Rain now has a University where each day there is another interesting presentation you can tune into from the comfort of your chair!
- Agents are still using Archtelecom to capture leads with success
- 74.1% of the population is now online, 32% spent their spare time on the social web, 94% home buyers are between 24-44, 32% found their actual home online. If you aren’t online you don’t exist. (I said that! So Google Me already!)
- Ben Kinney is a real Pain you might want to friend him on Facebook and find out why. (hint, he sells a lot of real estate) Ben likes to SaveAWorm Facebook is really about building community and marketing your listings (not so much!).
- Save time by syndicating your posts to go from one network to the next. Then all you need to do is show up and respond to the comments.
- Twitter is a great way to prospect for leads, if you know how to set up searches. Geo chirp
- Feed your website to Wordle, it not only gives you a cool looking graphic, but you can see what words you focus on. Hopefully the consumer and not egotistical you!
- Build your brand, become and live the Purple Cow
