The Trouble With FREE
A recycled post from a while back. I was reminded about this when I came across an forum discussion the other day about creating a FREE Facebook Page. I got to the party a little late but both sides had valid points they were making. I brought up the Sprout debacle from last year. In case you …
Social Media ROI: The Series, Part 1
People often ask how they can measure the ROI (return on investment) of their social media marketing efforts. The following is just a single point I’d like to make. It’s something to think about, discuss, and debate. I have many others, but let’s just take this one step at a time, eh? Hence “The …
Your lack of knowledge might help
Incredible video detailing how Scott Schumann does what he does.. He explains how his “Lack of knowledge in the beginning really helped” (at 3:20). I was struck by this as I was talking to someone who thought they needed “more” before starting to write her blog. I argue just the opposite. …
Bitch #7342: Facebook Event Spam
Can we please stop this crap? (Putting my Snark Hat on) Yes, you invited me and your 4,999 other friends to your event. Yes, it is thousands of miles away but Look! I do get a free lunch. BUT… As you might have noticed (had you looked) I don’t sell real estate, never have. I don’t do …
One Selfish Reason I’m using Paper.li
First of all – what is Paper.li? Generally speaking, it’s a newsletter / webpage that creates itself from the content shared by people I tell it to. Officially: “Paper.li organizes links shared on Twitter into an easy to read newspaper-style format. Newspapers can be created for any Twitter …
Does Facebook sell Homes?
No. Go ahead and try to tell me it does. What it does do is start the conversation, that leads to the relationship, that creates the client that buys or sells the home. Meet Ryan and Nicole. Listen to their story. They landed on Sandra’s Page for Fernley, NV …

A simple case for REBarCamp
What’s in it for me? The question every person should ask before attending any event. Worth repeating What's in it for me? First there was the conference. People would go to a conference to hear speakers speak. Hopefully the speakers who spoke were specified to speak about the specific …
Missing Google’s OLD Chrome Browser
On my main computer I recently updated to a newer version of my Chrome browser. It’s my default browser. It’s fast, It’s lightweight and it has incredible developer tools that allow me to scour websites for information when I’m building Custom Facebook Business Pages. Or at least it used …

Engage, Share and Give – freely
I recently wrote a post naming the TOP 200 Real Estate People on Facebook. Then the questions started Was it really the Top 200? What did I use for criteria? Was it their number of friends or the number of posts? How can I make the list next year? Susie doesn’t even write her own content, …
Quit taking yourself so seriously
How do you get 23,000 teddy bears for a Charity Drive? If you are a hockey team there’s only one way. Here’s the 1st intermission between Red Deer Rebels and the Calgary Hitmen. Just think Hat Trick… And while my Favorite team is trying to figure out on the ice how to work better …
Is the ChromeBook right for you?
Desktop – NoteBook – NetBook or ChromeBook? First a little explanation. When it comes to computers I used to have a Desktop. It came with a hard drive, RAM, floppy drive, CD/DVD drive. I say “used to” because some time ago I moved away from Desktops and now ONLY have …
The TOP 200 Real Estate People on Facebook!
Not really, but it makes this sound really spectacular doesn’t it? After finding out that I could create a List on Facebook and make it public I wanted to explore a little of how this could work. Backstory: Everyone I have added as a friend in Facebook has gone into a list (private). The …
Are your Facebook Friend Lists visible?
Not sure if this is a bug or not, but when a friend adds you to a list you may be notified. Not only notified but apparently you can see that friends other lists and the people in them! Lists are the cornerstone to privacy settings. Lists are the key to filtering and sorting your …
Simplicity
Just a muse of sorts… It strikes me that so much of what we want is simplicity. This seems to apply to both the physical and emotional things in life. The problem arises in that everything is a compromise. photo credit: B Tal Physically, my new cell phone does everything that I want …
