4. How the Internet Has Changed Real Estate Marketing Old Marketing = Outbound Marketing With this old type of marketing, your are trying to reach a broad audience and hope a small percentage (1%-3%) respond. In other words, at least 97% of your marketing efforts are wasted.
5. New Marketing = Inbound The way people shop for homes has changed drastically. People are much more in control of what information they receive & how they receive it. By the time they reach the Real Estate Agent, they are much farther along in the sales process but we know much less about them.

69. Tina’sDefinition of Twitter… Twitter is an ongoing cocktail party where you can jump in and out of the conversation when you see fit. The challenge is to be a part of the conversation and not just someone who pops in the door and yells something out and leaves. No one likes the guy at the cocktail party who only talks about himself. And keep in mind that it is impolite to talk religion, politics, sex or money.
