Sure I’ll spend a $1000! I’m a real estate agent, got no time for social media!
“I’m a real estate agent, got no time for social media!” Feedback from my Social Media and SEO course yesterday!
Hello my InterNetWorks friends…
It’s dark on the patio… the moon is in halves and dotted around with stars… a nice chablis in hand. I just cleaned up after a home cooked (I love to cook!) cajun shrimp with steamed broccoli on pasta dinner. Ummmm.
Out here contemplating what “I” got out of the class I taught yesterday… I often think I learn more by teaching than those I taught… learn.
One major topic was discussing the shift.. how you used to spend large dollars on radio, television, newspaper ads, direct mail.. and what was the currency.. MONEY.. MONEY.. MONEY.
So now we shift to a different emphasis.. the online “InterNetWorks. “ Using social media, online tools, personal profiles, online classifieds, and more internet interrelated systems. 
AND NOW, to have an effective online presence you have to expend different currency to be accomplished. Equally valuable, and must be spent, that currency is YOUR TIME!
Get it?
You spent cash on newspaper ads… Now you have to spend your time on Craigs List ads. You spend your money on Homes Magazines, now you have to spend your time on Facebook. You spent your bucks on bill boards, park benches, shopping carts, football programs, door hangers, post cards… 1000 ways to spend 1000 dollars.
Now, you need to spend 1000 minutes on your blog…
A far better investment in todays world of InterNetWorks…
Ok, so this is a short installment.. but you know, it may be one of the most important I ever post.
Friends… you aren’t willing to learn the InterNetWorks and spend the currency of them, your time…
Then just keep throwing away the old currency!
