I wrote that article last Thursday because I think there are WAY too many "magic bullet marketing" pitches floating around right now. Sure, social media "can" be useful, but let's get serious - who logs into their facebook/twitter accounts to see where their Realtor is having coffee, or which beach they're sitting on in Jamaica? NO ONE. Top producers understand this, and take advantage of being the one clear voice of value in a chorus of noise aimed at the prospective customer. For better or worse (better for the diligent), there's no magic bullet that replaces hard work. Sam Hi Linda,

For better or worse (better for the diligent), there’s no magic bullet that replaces hard work.

I have been in the business almost 7 years now and this is the year for me to make a big change in the way I do business - i.e. more marketing of myself, not my brokerage (and paying so much for franchise/advertising fees), and getting things streamlined with an excellent contact database, "bang for your buck" marketing, referral and repeat business. I am glad to hear that social media may not be the best way - that is what the CREB forecast and tradeshow was all about this year...and it is nice to hear that there may be some better ways to be successful.
