Twitter and REALTORS

Because effective Twitter marketing means attracting as many followers as possible, setting up an autofollow, auto-responder and auto-reciprocate tool is a great way to improve your reach and campaign effectiveness.   I am doing this currently with Real Estate Country The tools that help in this process are Tweetlater.com which allows you to autorespond followers with a direct message as well as automatically reciprocate follows.  Combine Tweetlater.com with the keyword autofollow power of Twollow and you can automate most of the marketing with the exception of actually posting content.  There are rss twitter autopostng services that allow you to post content as well, but we won’t go into them in this discussion.  

For those people who follow you, you have three opportunities to create a relationship and there is a free online tool that automates this process.  After you have set up your Twitter account, uploaded your picture, profile and customized your background, go to Tweetlater.com.  This tool will allow you to automatically follow anybody who chooses to follow you, as well as create an auto-responder for anybody who chooses to follow you.  Using TweetLater, you can quickly automate the process of following those that follow you as well as create a short message that automatically goes to your follower.  Generally, this response is a “Thank you for the follows” message along with an invitation to visit your real estate website. 

The other tool that you want to take a look at is Twollow.  This tool will allow you to automatically follow individuals for a given keyword.  By combining Twollow, TweetLater and periodically cleaning out your account with Twitter Karma, you can attract a large number of followers within just a few days.  Each of whom you can promote your real estate services too.

Growing Real Estate Country

I haven’t had a lot of time to post to real estate country over the past few weeks, but I wanted to give everybody an update. We have updated the original Real Estate Country site with additional pages. Also, I have made a few posts in Active Rain to help attract visitors to this blog. The next step is to start creating a number of different pages on the many, many, many online networks that focus on the real estate and REALTOR industry. From there, hopefully we will get the organic growth that we are looking for.
