Why Twitter is an important tool for real estate investing

We may have heard of twitter marketing, but what do we know about it? What is it, exactly? How do we use it for basic marketing never mind promoting our real estate business? There are so many questions raised by this one little site that it’s hard to come up with just one broad answer, but here are the main ones.

The site itself is best described as a micro-blogging site. Micro in that you can only use 140 characters per post, blog-like in that what you post and write is viewable straight away. Pretty straightforward so far, right?

To view a post, you have to look for relevant keywords for what you are interested in such as in the case of real estate investing, you would probably be looking for private moneylenders. Then if that post by that person is of interest to you, you can become a ‘follower’ of the poster so you will automatically get updated when they post something new on the site such as updates on different lenders you could inquire with – and so it goes on.

Once you have found the niche that you are looking to follow, such as real estate buyers and are linked up with them, usually they will have started following your posts, it’s at this point that you can benefit from twitter marketing and use it to build your list of real estate prospects and promote your business. For example, you post a message about a certain property at a great short sale price, and everyone that is following you will see what you just posted. Within minutes, anyone searching for hot properties in your area will be alerted, and if it is something they want more information on, they will contact you. Remember it is about what’s happening now and this is what gives the system its greatest potential.

Another thing you can use is what is called “twitter adder”. This is a tool that allows Twitter users to build and market to a group of friends quickly and easily. This tool allows you to gather up massive friends on Twitter and send out mass auto emails to your list of friends. Getting your updates out has never been easier. Also, by allowing you to capture a large base of friends on Twitter, you are able to market your real estate investing business substantially.

In a nutshell, this is how twitter marketing works and how it can help build your real estate investing business. However, when using it, make sure you do not spam people (as people can ‘un-follow’ you just as quickly as follow you) and keep it both informative and entertaining, and you will soon build your network to a size that will make an impact on your business. Also, by utilizing the amazing power of A Twitter Adder, you can build your list of friends (BUSINESS PROSPECTS) in record time and be tweeting back and forth while building your business effortlessly.
