My 10 Twitter Tips:
1) Use the “Find People” tool and search for things you are interested in Real Estate, Fishing, New York City, etc.2) Follow people that actually “tweet”
3) Do not just twitter personal promotion and advertisements, that is SPAM!
4) The “#” in front of a word, or letters, like “#icny” means that this is a post about an event or popular topic. #icny was used for Inman Connect New York, #Obama may be used for news about Obama, etc.
5) Follow @NYPierre and @trulia if you want to see some twitter action, most of Real Estate’s techiest agents and leaders are on Twitter too.
6) As a real estate agent, you should twitter the following things whenever you can: “Just got a closing in City, State” Just got an offer in City, State”, Just listed a great home in City, State”. This will inspire people who care about those areas or real estate in those areas to follow you. It will also counteract all that negative press out there that says people AREN’T buying homes – they are!
7) Use Tinyurl.com to create a shorter URL for long things, like listings. It is very easy, copy and paste the main link - like your listing URL on Trulia - and paste it into tinyurl, it will shorten it for you for Twitter use.
Twitpic is another tool to post photos right from your phone to your twitter account and add text - like “look at this new listing” and it will insert a link to the photo.9) Twit about local events, things you are going to, maybe people near you are there too and want to meet - note, keep a lookout for stalkers?
10) Keep it social, don’t think of it as work, follow people first to get an idea of what you can say. you can even reply to other twitters directly.
Bonus tip: Twitter can update your Facebook status too! Look for the application on Facebook.
