Linda’s Secret Weapon – Facebook Groups

Linda Davis has a secret Facebook Marketing weapon – Facebook Groups.

Linda and our other real estate and social media experts wowed us at SMMCamp 14 by sharing how to generate business on the new Facebook. I’ve included a free link right here to Linda’s session. The recording is just 15 minutes long and shares how she uses Facebook Groups to create a community forum and interact with her neighbors and local community (a.k.a. – her target market).

You can get all the other recorded sessions from SMMCamp 14 plus all previous SMMCamps (that’s over 40 sessions) at our Socially Savvy Agent site. You need to become a member (just $20) but you’ll be able to access all the past speaker recordings plus the Social Media Marketing course (worth $497).

Top Ten Facebook Timeline Tips

Here’s my Top Ten Timeline Tips Report to help you get the most out of the new Facebook timeline.

On March 30th all Facebook Pages automatically converted over to the new timeline design.

Facebook has spun the change as a way to increase your brand’s visibility but while this is true it is also true that they’ve removed a number of key free marketing features – like the ability to send visitors to a custom default landing page (where you can get their contact details).

The report contains a number of work arounds that will help you generate traffic and increase lead generation.

You can download the Top Ten Timeline Tips Report right here.

The Cheap and Easy Way to Add Real Estate Search to Your Facebook Fan Page

Here’s the cheap and easy way to add real estate search to your Facebook Fan Page – and you don’t need to hire a developer.

This technique needs zero technical skills. It’s not quite as good as a full blow real estate search box application but it works almost as well and it has the advantage of getting the visitor to your website and not a general listing site.
