You’ve heard all the statistics before “There are over 400 Million people on Facebook”, “Over 10,000 people are joining Twitter every day”, “12% of people have blogs” on and on and on. You have also most likely attended a class on Facebook or Twitter in the last year, maybe the instructor you had was rookie enough to try and explain them both in the same class. Regardless of how many classes you have attended about social media, you most likely left feeling like you were trying to drink out of a firehose and the class likely focused on WHY you should be using social media. What about the HOW?
There is just so much to learn and lets face it, you have so little time. You are out listing and selling properties! Not that time is the only challenge you have….Do you actually know anyone that is getting leads or closing deals because of Social Media? Probably not. Lets face it, there is really no incentive for a competing Realtor or loan officer to show you how to generate leads using social media. Remember the old saying “teach the man to fish or give the man a fish?”
Introducing SMUrcle.
What Is SMUrcle?
Social. Media. University. rcle.
In a world where everyone wants to talk about the WHY, SMUrcle is the HOW.
You already know that you should be using facebook and facebook fanpages, and twitter, and YouTube and Vidler and RSS feeds and landing pages and blogs and widgets and well you get the point…. you know you should be using these tools to generate business but you may not know HOW.
SMUrcle is a 4-6 week series taught by industry professionals that ARE getting leads and ARE closing deals using social media. SMUrcle consists of professional bloggers- some outside of the real estate industry, SEO professionals, custom website/blog designers, Realtors, Loan Officers and a title rep (guess who that is). SMUrcle is a series of 1 hour classes that address the HOW. You bring your laptop and you learn HOW. The best part, It’s FREE. (that’s the #1 trigger word….we will address that too)
