Did Not Expect This

Surprise of the day, I was in a room full of realtors and discussed social media.

Not everyone was sold on it.

Everyone has not bought into the New World of Technology and social media marketing.

Old School realtors you say?

Possibly…. Here’s the quick survey we conducted and the results;

We asked who among you is on the following and do you use anything

of these social media venues for your real estate activities?

Users of Facebook :  43.24%

Twitter :  10.81%

LinkedIn :  37.83%

Youtube :    2.7%

Blog writers and Blog sites :   10.81% ( including AR,Blogspot, WordPress ,… )

Google +  :   5.40%

Foursquare :  2.7%

How many have their own websites :  45.94% .

We were surprised, negatively surprised.

More socking was how many actually made any money as a

direct consequence of all this social media work, networking,

of postings, twittering,etc. and all the hours spent doing it.

Result for this last question was 8.10% claimed they could connect any money earned from this activity . 

So who is making money from all this activity on all these social media, blogs postings, internet activity etc.? When will we make any money from all this activity realtors are starting to ask?

This was not a scientific study or finding, however the group determined it was the high tech industry that benefited the most and all those involved in it and not necessarily the realtors and companies supporting, contributing and paying for these avenues.
