Do's Don'ts and Gotcha's of Social Networking

RE/MAX Alliance's own Brad Hanks offers his insights into Social Networking.

"People want to connect with people," Hanks says, going on to quote friend Jeff Turner of Real Estate Shows. "Social networking is about YEO - you engaging others."
And if you can learn quickly and follow the rules, Hanks says, there's tremendous business potential in social media.
"You can build a referral network and collaborate with experts to get answers to real estate questions," he says. "You can connect with past clients, prospect for new ones, market your services and improve your search engine optimization by expanding your Web footprint. And, what makes it even better is that it's all free to start."
The down side? Hanks warns that social media can suck all the time out of your day.
