A Little Tour of Google +

Hey gang!  Happy Video Release FRIDAY!!!  Today I wanted to give you a little tour of Google+ - the new social network from Google.  Take a peek ...

Goodbye Yahoo ... Hello GMail!

In case you missed it, I broke up with Yahoo last week. I expect it will be a long drawn out process that will end with me changing logins, getting my contacts and other stuff I care about and walking out of the door. The long drawn out part is because they are charging me and in order to forward or pop my Yahoo email. So, I paid my $20 bucks for the year and started moving out.

In my travels to your offices, I know that many of you are facing the same challenge. You love GMail, but you've had that darn Yahoo email for so long :( I get it. Breaking up is hard to do, but I am committed to moving on ... I mean GMail is (1) FREE and (2) awesome. But I talk about GMail all the time, so you already know that part.

For more on how to take that first step ... watch the vid:

Scratching the Free Surface

Agents meet with me all the time and tell me that they need to "work on their internet presence" and "what should they do"???

They come in expecting to talk about buying a tricked-out website, keyword advertising and blogging. Typically, they want me to share everything in my brain by osmosis in 15 minutes so they can get to their next appointment. I think most of them walk away a little surprised ... I am rockin the osmosis thing.

Not really.

What I tell them is the same thing I will you here - use the free stuff first.

Let's do this in list form, shall we?

1. Edit, maintain and use your CBH Agent Website
2. Sign up for profiles on Trulia, Zillow, Inman, etc. AND participate in the discussions going on
3. Get a Google Profile - http://www.google.com/profiles
4. Sign up on YouTube - create and update a community, agent profile or listing video(s)
5. Go to www.technorati.com - find and bookmark a few real estate blogs that interest you, then participate in the discussions on those blogs (please be relevant)
6. Do some social networking on LinkedIn, Active Rain and Facebook
7. Get involved with micro-blogging on Twitter or FriendFeed
8. Upload and share listing photos on Flickr - www.flickr.com

And I am just scratching the FREE surface here folks. Seriously. Work on those 8 things and then we'll talk more :)
