Are you on Twitter? - You're No One If You're Not On Twitter – JB Walker

Are you on Twitter? - You're No One If You're Not On Twitter - JB Walker

Have you signed up on Twitter?

Do you have a Facebook account?

Tweet, Tweet, TwitterAt first, I was very skeptical about Twitter and Facebook. I blogged about my Twitter skeptism until I've joined a webinar that is every Friday discussing Social Media, broadcasting yourself with Twitter. Twitter is like a "raucous coffee shop".

The Twitter group is a great valuable source of information if you are still skeptical. Kim Woods' recent post about of "Beware:Twitter Feeds" is an excellent source of information.

 

The top of my list is this very interesting song that I have included in my blog - "You're No One If You're Not On Twitter" by JB Walker

Very funny song, Petra. It's fun learning how to socialize medialy.

Posted by Peter Thompson - Chicago Mortgage Insight about 1 year ago

Peter - This song inspired me to actually blog about it. I came across this song on - you guessed it - Twitter

Posted by Petra Norris - Lakeland Florida Realtor® Lakeland Florida Real Estate, (CDV TransAtlantic, Inc.) about 1 year ago

I haven't joined yet because there just isn't enough time to blog on AR, and socialize on all of these networks.  How do you juggle this.

Posted by David Slavin, CDPE, ABR, SRES RE/MAX Grand (RE/MAX Grand) about 1 year ago

David - I know it is overwhelming at first. You can Twitter from anywhere and it really does not take a long time. Only a sentence or two for updates. Your AR blog can be syndicated in your AR settings. Just go to the Twitter Group and become familiar.

you are right it takes no time to Twitter Petra.   It takes a long time to get used to though.

Hi Petra - Twitter is also a great way to get feedback on current issues. There was a lot of activity during tonight's Vice Presidential debate. And with it being limited to just 140 characters, you get a lot of opinions without anyone really dominating the discussion.

John - you are absolutely right, thanks for commenting.

Hi Petra, I joined Twitter a while back but just got around to Following some folks yesterday. Thanks for the post. God bless,

Posted by Cheryl Gilliam Home Staging-Hickory NC (Just Heavenly Decor & Design) about 1 year ago

Cheryl - I'm really beginning to like Twitter because of the social media socializing. You can follow me @petranorris. Tried to find you with your name but no such luck.

Posted by Petra Norris - Lakeland Florida Realtor® Lakeland Florida Real Estate, (CDV TransAtlantic, Inc.) about 1 year ago

Petra, I do have a twitter account but I am not on twitter. I guess I still just don't get it and I don't have the time to figure it out. I know a lot of AR members are over there and swear by it but unless I'm missing something I just can't see it putting checks into my bank account. Am I wrong?

Posted by Bryant Tutas-Tutas Towne Realty, Inc about 1 year ago

I definitely am someone, even if I'm not on Twitter.
Only enough hours in the day to blog/catch up ... I thank goodness I am still too busy working. 
Has it brought you new business?

Posted by Sylvie Conde, Broker | Toronto Real Estate (Sutton Group-Associates Realty Inc., Brokerage) about 1 year ago

Bryant - I really appreciate you're stopping by. No, it has not put checks in my bank account yet. When you first started blogging, did you received checks in you bank account right away? We all must plant our seeds first before we can carry the fruits of labor. With AR syndicating blogs to Twitter and if you find local Twitter such as the Chamber of Commerce or local blogging group to follow, things will fall into place.

Remember, don't put all your eggs in one nest.

Posted by Petra Norris - Lakeland Florida Realtor® Lakeland Florida Real Estate, (CDV TransAtlantic, Inc.) about 1 year ago

Sylvie - I understand your comment because that is how I felt. However, after taking part in a webinar and reading blogs, it makes perfect sense to me. As I have expressed my opinion to Bryant, I hope you will take it from there.

What is your name on Twitter, follow me @missycaulk. Big surprise, huh?

Posted by Missy Caulk-Ann Arbor- Realtor(R)- Ann Arbor Real Estate (Keller Williams-Ann Arbor) about 1 year ago

I'm part of the seminar also, and like Broker Bryant I had my doubts about how this could work. After my first week of Twittering, while on my way home from work last night, I got a call from a local reporter who had found me on Twitter. This isn't money in my pocket yet, but it is exposure and proof that the concept works. As far as time invested, it isn't a big deal. Almost like having another email account.

Posted by Peter Thompson - Chicago Mortgage Insight about 1 year ago

Missy - I'm following you but here is me @petranorris

Peter - I appreciate your comment and your proof - it really works!

Posted by Petra Norris - Lakeland Florida Realtor® Lakeland Florida Real Estate, (CDV TransAtlantic, Inc.) about 1 year ago

Well, I guess for right now, I am no one.  I need to get out there and get on Twitter so I can be someone.  I have much to do, as all this is new to me.

Posted by Troy Erickson - Your Chandler, Gilbert, Queen Creek Realtor (Terra Solis Realty, LLC) about 1 year ago

Troy - It's all about social networking. You can follow me @petranorris - thanks for stopping by to comment, I just thought this song is very funny, so I could not resist to use it in my blog.

Posted by Petra Norris - Lakeland Florida Realtor® Lakeland Florida Real Estate, (CDV TransAtlantic, Inc.) about 1 year ago

Petra...I am on Twitter...but I am not sure of the relevance of being there. There is only so much time in a day (& I am a pretty good time manager)

Posted by Bobby Wallace (Charleston Real Estate Investor's Association) about 1 year ago

Bobby - You are right  about there is only so much time in a day. Being on Twitter is all about networking, news, current issues, etc. Did you know that your AR blogs can be submitted to Twitter instantly with no extra time?

Posted by Petra Norris - Lakeland Florida Realtor® Lakeland Florida Real Estate, (CDV TransAtlantic, Inc.) about 1 year ago

Petra - Thanks for the reminder.  This one's on my to do list, among other things.  Wow, so much to get done, so little time to do it all!

Posted by Jessica Bigger Realtor® California Coast Real Estate (RE/MAX Humboldt Realty) about 1 year ago

Jessica - Anytime, it can be overwhelming sometimes, but as long as you take one step at a time, things will get done it a timely manner.

Posted by Petra Norris - Lakeland Florida Realtor® Lakeland Florida Real Estate, (CDV TransAtlantic, Inc.) about 1 year ago

Petra...

Thank you so much for this reminder. I am on Twitter and really do need to sit down and figure out why I am not able to access my Twitter account. This has happened to me before. For the life of me I can't remember how I accessed the account. Hopefully I remembered to send myself an email telling myself how I did it :)

TLW...ROAR!

Posted by "The Lovely Wife" (Broker Bryant's Wife) The One And Only TLW. (President-Tutas Towne Realty, Inc.) about 1 year ago

OH...

And you must know, knowing me, that our eggs are so not in one basket :)

I just have too many baskets for that to happen :)

TLW...ROAR!

Posted by "The Lovely Wife" (Broker Bryant's Wife) The One And Only TLW. (President-Tutas Towne Realty, Inc.) about 1 year ago

TLW - This happens to the best of us not remembering or unable to access accounts. I did find you and BB on Twitter, you also can follow me @petranorris (pretty simple) when you are able. I'm really excited you're back here.

Oh yes, I do know that you guys have your eggs in more baskets :)

Happy Tweeting again :)

Love the song - What a Hoot!  @pamdent

Pam - I could not agree with you more.
