What I've learned from Twitter so FAR!?!? (This should help explaining Twitter)

Everybody is always asking, "Why should I be on Twitter?".

 

 

Our answer to that is, "Why should you not be on Twitter?".

 

BEFORE I START I WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOU TO PLEASE TAKE ONE THING AWAY FROM THIS BLOG AT-LEAST. THEN TO PLEASE LEAVE ONE THING. IT COULD BE SOME

ADVISE,

KNOWLEDGE

OR JUST ANYTHING YOU THINK THAT COULD BE VALUABLE

A while back I (Bob) met J.T. and Brooke Vilano for a Twappyhour (Happyhour) to learn about Twitter. J.T. doesn't use Twitter for business at all. She uses it for her own personal social networking.

Since then I haven't followed or even been able to find her for that matter on Twitter. From what I understand even if I did find her the possibility of her accepting my follow or even following me back is slim to nun. I'll explain later....

With that background on J.T. I will tell you a little more: She has over 1,000 Tweeple following her, she gets over 25 Direct Messages a day (not counting, once she makes her status relevant to the Twublic and she is bombarded by Direct Messages instantaneously), she has to count the clock hours on a daily basis to make sure she is Tweeting in the right Time Zone, she goes/hosts Tweet-ups (flying all over the States to meet Tweople and having them Fly here), she has made businesses strive in sales with her Tweets (I'll explain later), she has created her own Hashtags within her groups (her Tweeps have their own language)

Ok so your still reading....

For a Whim I had her grade my PROFILE and TWEETS. She instantly said, "BLAHHHHHHHHH.., you would not be a good person to follow on Twitter!". "WHAT", I said, " I give great relevant information about RealEstate/Mortgage News in my Tweets". From what I understood I was not being personable enough. She explaines a 1:15 Ratio. For every 15 Tweets I write their should be 1 Tweet about RealEstate/Mortgage News. People follow people they can conect with, she said. If they wanted the News they'd watch it on TV or Google it. If they want to see property they'll search it. They don't need to know all your listings... this was a big mistake by Real Estate Agents, she added.

Family..... On Twitter, she has a Twuband (she's the Twife), Twons and Twaughters. She treats her Tweeple like they are family. She can scroll through her list of Tweeple and tell you what part of the country they are from, what age they are, what they do for a living and what she finds fascinating about them.

Did I mention that she gets 10-15 new people following her a day. Out of them, usually only one of them makes the cut to be in her sphere of influence. CUT you say? Yeah she has a STRINGENT POLICY on who she allows to Follow her and who she Follows. She:

1. Reads their BIO
2. Looks through their Followers and Followees
3. Examines their Tweets

Then throws down the gavel and either opens the gate or shuts it down per person. She said this does take a lot of time but it's worth it to her she said. She's constantly going through her lists and cutting people out.

Strive in Sales

How you ask..... It's simple she mentions them in her tweets. She told me about a purse maker in some state that noticed her sales booming in the same month that J.T. mentioned her business. The purse maker Direct Messaged J.T and asked, "What made you promote my business?". J.T.'s simple answer was, "I LOVE your purses. I've bought one for my daughter and sent one to California for my Sister."

Put your tongue back in your mouth reader.....

What we've learned from Twitter so far!

• Use Twitter as a Network not as a business source. The business will come.
• Use it to connect with people not to pitch your product or business
• Through your Tweets express what you believe in, your core values, your interests, your hobbies etc.. (this will create quality and loyal Followers)
• Make a strong BIO (See Below)
• Be careful in who you let follow you.. (do not let Spammers clog up your Timeline)
• Admit you where a Spammer and correct it...
• Create a family/Twamily

TIPS

• Instead of being National like J.T., become LOCAL (follow people from your area, create relationships with people in your neck of the woods)
• Tweet-up your open houses or broker opens

AGENTS: Want to Increase your Social Networth? We'll Help!

LOCAL REAL ESTATE AGENTS ONLY:


Team Rogers is here to help you increase your Social Networth by helping you create a Fan Page on Facebook and a Twitter account.

We'll show you how to link them together and use them the easiest & fastest way possible. We'll also discuss tips on posting and how to gain followers. The session runs about four hours which leaves plenty of time for questions on How To's and Whys. We then will give you technical support as needed in the future, to make sure your Fan Page turns into a success.

Also: We will set an appointment with you in 30 days from set up to see where you are and what questions that have come up. We will then, depending on your progress show you other tools like Blogger, Active Rain, Google (Wave, Voice, Calendar) etc. We will also show you ways to start using Facebook and Twitter in detail How to Get Business from them. You must have a solid base first.

We can either go to your home or your office whichever is more convenient for you.

Question: Why are you doing this Team Rogers?
Answer: We see that Social Networking is part of the NOW. By getting Real Estate Agents involved it's easier for us all to communicate online. Most importantly Friendships last Forever and we'd like to get to know you better online and in person.

Note: Through our teaching we've realized that one on one gets better follow up then group sessions, so we've decided to do one on ones (You can bring a friend). We have also learned that FREE means NO FOLLOW UP. So we've decided to charge a small donation of $50.00 to get ya up and going. When you pay for something your more likely to use it.

We look forward to helping you Increase your Social Networth!
