Whatever you do, don’t be a “Stupid Realtor”
These people are BEGGING for some help. They are SCREAMING for it. And you can fish though and find some phrases in your area that will get you houses this week. And you gotta fish a little bit, but seriously? What the hell else are you doing?
Search.Twitter.com and a little elbow grease and a friggin’ phone call is the way to go. Betcha you can get tweetdeck loaded on a computer, run about 10 searches near your area and throw 65,000 in GCI. And I’ll betcha you can do this without having to talk to any idiots.
These are people with their hands up. And the first person that clicks through and responds on their website or not JUST on twitter…they are the differentiators. They are the ones that get to date the prom queen.
So…loads of people are needing a deal. A connection.
Make that, and get real paid.

I’m just now beginning to use twitter and still trying to find the best ways to benefit from it. So far, I’ve found it to be a great way to keep in touch with others that share the same interests, but I haven’t realized the potential it may have on my business, yet. I’ll try search.twitter.com and get to work…

Chris — What readers should know about you by now, is you’re results oriented if nothing else. You find fish infested ponds, bait your hook, and start casting.
If the latest pond is goin’ a tad dry momentarily, you don’t panic, you begin scoutin’ for cat hangouts. (see where I’m headed here? 🙂 )
Whether it’s fish, catskins, whatever, do what Chris does and get into the game. Even a blind guy with a crappy gun will hit something if he just keeps pullin’ the trigger. And you’re better than that, right?
As usual Chris, good stuff.

GC, you had me on search.twitter.com fishing for the next hour and a half after reading your article.
I tried “closing costs” and found a couple mackerel. Your article bordered on “too good to share”. It was big of you. Much respect from the ATL.

It’s a skill. Write down keyowrds, and suchlike. Hunt, take in, kill.

Chris – I’ve been using Twitter for a while now to announce Real Estate posts and such. I do post some “about me” type stuff – whatever comes to mind, etc. Is there a balance I should strike between news type posts and personal “social” posts?

Chris Johnson says:
Petra- no ballance is required. Be yourself. Put stuff out there, be part of the community. Make no mistake: you’re hunting. You’ve got a reason to be there.

Readers, this is a roadmap for what you should do to develop business each day. It really is as simple as Chris makes it (but it ain’t easy)

Chris – This is great info. I tried searching for this type of info on the main Twitter site and could not figure out what I was doing wrong. Search.Twitter.com is a nice tool. On a semi-related note, I keep reading that Tweets show up in Google searches but have not seen them. Do you know if you actually get any SEO benefit when placing links in tweets?
Thanks for the good info.

I’m quite late in using the internet for doing business. I didn’t know what I use to post photos of my adorable nephews and my personal rants can be used for business. Thanks for the tips Chris, keep ’em coming.

I have been using the same strategy. I use http://tweetgrid.com/. It updates real-time (so you dont have to continually hit search) and you can have multiple searches going on at once. This is a very cool tool!

Chris, You are a very clever and insightful thinker.

One of the issues I am having with tweetgrid.com and Search.Twitter.com is filtering out the syndicated spam. I really wish there was a twitter search tool that only queried for posts made from ‘web’, and filtered out auto-posts from Tweetdeck, HootSuite, etc.
