LinkedIn World’s largest professional network Over 100 million users Connect with past, present, and near future professional relationships Use it to research jobs, people, companies and business opportunities Join groups and discussions with people looking for expert answers to their questions

Twitter Estimated 200 million users and 65 million tweets daily. Easy way to update followers with personal thoughts relevant to your business, your events and events you’re attending, or links to media you create. Find and connect with local users and/or people who fit into your target market. Respond when people send you @ messages or Direct Messages. Don’t only talk to fellow real estate professionals. Don’t protect your tweets. How will you meet new people?

Facebook Over 600 million users Multi-media personal and professional networking through photos, videos, groups and business pages Can customize friend lists by family, past customers, potential clients, etc. Business fan page allows direct communication with customers, clients and prospects. It’s visible to unregistered users and will appear on a Google search. Don’t spam your network. Use your business fan page instead. Listen to posts and updates on your wall. Engage, be friendly, and build trust.

Creating a Facebook Business Fan Page Step 1: Make a personal profile. Step 2: Create your page. You can search for the link on any page you already like or here’s a direct link that should take you to “Create a Page”: http://www.facebook.com/pages/create.php. Step 3: Create a name. Hint: it is difficult to change your page's name once you've made the decision. Other things can be changed fairly easily -- but the name is here to stay. Think carefully. Step 4: Customize. Add logos, info, photos, websites, etc. Make sure to enable the option for direct first-time visitors to see your site. Step 5: Get Fans to “Like” your page. You can do this by suggesting friends to like your page, integrating your page into your other active social networks, and putting it in your marketing materials. Concentrate on quality fans who are truly interested in your service.

Some Tips: Have unique content. Take the time to customize items that meet your target market. Update content frequently. Keep it fresh. Always be professional and adhere to legal requirements and codes of ethics. Remember that even though using social networks effectively is an invaluable marketing tool, it costs time.

Expert Tips for Shooting ouTube Videos of Homes for Sale by Mark Shandorw

1. Plan your Shoot Nothing gives you a better chance of getting the shots you want than knowing what's going to happen where and when. Be as clear as you can about what you need to get before you arrive and you're far less likely to miss the most important moments.

2. Stand Securely Stand squarely with your feet apart and both hands on the camcorder to steady it. When you move the camera, move it smoothly and with purpose. Decide before you move where you're going to stop and really concentrate on steady unhurried movement. Don't overuse the zoom and if in doubt, don't move.

3. Avoid and zooms and pans The more you zoom in, the more wobbly your shots will be because at high zoom levels, the slightest movement is magnified. Try to simply get closer to your subject and if you can't do that, brace yourself against a solid object.

4. Get a mix of Shots Shoot a mixture of long shots and close-ups. Get panning shots which cover the whole event as well as focusing in close on the main event. If your entire video is made up of the same kind of shots, it will quickly get boring.

5. Think in Scenes You're going to be editing your day's filming in iMovie, so think about that when you're shooting. Decide how you're going to edit and make sure you have all the shots you need to tell the story you want to tell. Big wide shots set the scene well while close-ups allow you to focus attention on the main action.

6. Over-Shoot Turn on the camera a few seconds early and don't stop filming until a few seconds after you think the shot is over. That way you always have "room" when editing to cut or fade into and out of your shot.

7. Watch out for Killer Shots Your camera will automatically adjust its exposure whenever you move between dark and light areas so avoid filming in front of windows and lights or turn off the auto-exposure feature. Likewise, if there's a lot of movement in the shot, turn off autofocus and set the focus manually.
