The last few weeks have been pretty hectic in our office, one of the biggest projects we’ve all been working on is our social media outreach and strategy.

With the explosion of social networks over the last few years now is a good a time as any to start your social media empire. There are some massive benefits to having social networking profiles and accounts, heres just a few:

• Free back links – worth their weight in gold, remember to use good keywords in them.
• A new source of potential clients, maybe you have things in common or know the same people.
• A great way to connect and also boast testimonials from past clients! (facebook and myspace are excellent for this as a realtor)
• More visibility! lets face it, your competing, the more visibility the better your chances.
• They are fun!

Remember when creating all of your Social networking profiles to keep them consistent, try and use the same user name, or similar, use the same graphics and the same email addresses this is also a great way to build personal branding. We highly recommend using:

• Facebook
• Myspace
• Twitter
