"I Just Don't Get Twitter" 2008-12-01 11:12:15 I've got several friends who have tried out Twitter
after I bugged them enough, but for the most part, they're still just not getting it. If you're in that camp, I understand. I didn't "get it" at first either...

Interesting new iPhone Media Shopping Feature 2008-11-21 16:08:24
I stumbled across a post by Kevin Tofel of JKontherun.com. It talks about a great new technology that allows you to take a picture of a book, CD, or DVD, and it will instantly search the major online providers and give you available prices that are found. It seems like a really handy feature for when you want to price-shop, or if you run across a friend's book and you want to Read more:iPhone

A Sneak Peek on How Some Top Twitterers Tweet 2008-11-21 11:33:23 I was about to post a reply to someone who had commented on an earlier post about Twitter, and decided it should be a blog post instead. In a nutshell, someone commented with: "Thanks for the tips. I'll check into Twitter after I learn more about Active Rain."
Although I admire your discipline to not bite off more than you can chew -- in this case -- I think Twitter & AR go hand i

Organic Traffic vs. Paid Advertising. Which is Better? 2008-11-18 14:32:51 I keep running across posts talking about paid traffic or advertising as bad things, and I just can't help but throw my hat in the ring. Let me start by saying that if you're a single agent, and don't ever plan on building a team or having an assistant - there is no need to read further. As long as you're doing an excellent job, referrals will take care of themselves. If that is the ca Read more:Advertising

Internet Leads are WORTHLESS!!! 2008-11-17 08:02:36 As the owner of a Colorado real estate company, I end up "talking shop" quite often with other Realtors®, and conversation inevitably ends up around our online business model and how our agents depend almost entirely on internet leads for getting new business. No cold calls. No farming. No open houses. Just internet leads. In response, the Realtors® I'm talking with usual Read more:Internet

I've been on Twitter
for several months now, and as my list of followers keeps growing, I occasionally get asked "How do you get so many followers?" It's a bit hard to explain in 140 characters (the limit on Twitter), so I kept saying I'd write a post about it some day... Now that I've got an Active Rain account, I figured I'd make my experience with Twitter my inaugural post.
