Tweetburner for Real Estate Investors

Before building a large list of followers on Twitter, it’s important to follow a few friends and start to get a feel for how people interact with you, and how you interact with other people with it.

You’ll discover quickly that single largest advantage that Twitter has is it’s ability to quickly share anything that you find online with those that are following you by posting shortened links to the web pages that contain the items of interest.  This works 10x faster than email.

While there are a few applications that help you do this, Tweetburner is the most well known and most used on Twitter.  This free application allows you to post anything directly to your Twitter stream from any page in your browser.

It’s my opinion that Tweetburner is the "glue" that holds the Twitter community together.  After you begin following a large and diverse group of people, you’ll see them using it as well.  They’ll link you to things you would have never found on your own or through a search engine.

After a while you’ll begin to see a real life side to people that you wouldn’t have known about otherwise.  People will share when someone they love is sick and with one single Tweet are able to ask a couple hundred people for prayer.  They’ll talk about their kids and pets.  They’ll share photos, videos, and all kinds of other things that are important to them.  And you can do the same.

So watch this video, start following a few people, the use the FREE Tweetburner application to share something with your followers.  Feel free to start with me.  Here’s a link to my Twitter page so you can follow me:

Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock you’ve probably heard someone enthusiastically talk about Twitter.  You many know that it is a "Web 2.0 Social Media" thingy.  You may also have made the mistake of writing Twitter off as simply being the "next MySpace" and being of interest only to Text-Message obsessed teens.

I have to admit that until I discovered that some very smart people that I know were using Twitter, I thought it was a total waste of time.  Boy was I wrong.

Watch this video to see exactly WHY Twitter is a great relatinship buiding tool, and keep watching all the videos in this series to learn how you can incorporate it into your Real Estate Investing Business.

The Truth About “Getting Rich”

Recently I’ve come across a SLEW of articles, books, and advice that pressures people to find ways to trim little things our of their life (like Starbucks) and to save that money and invest it for their financial future.

Now I’m all about saving, but it is my firm belief that if you are living pay-check to pay-check (esp if you have a family) that it is almost impossible to "save" your way to financial freedom.

The reason for this that the experts don’t talk about is something that I call the "Transmission Factor" .  What is the Transmission Factor?  You’ll have to watch the video to find out.
