How to Generate Real Estate Leads with Twitter – Realtyna Blog
To succeed on Twitter you need to understand Twitter.
This is probably the biggest stumbling block for agents and brokers using the platform.
Most use and understand Facebook. Then they take a similar approach to Twitter.
But Twitter is much more interactive. It’s more incremental.
Your Tweets won’t take much time to create.
But you may find that Twitter requires a higher posting frequency.
Here are some tips on how to generate real estate leads with Twitter.
USE IMAGES
Twitter has its own culture and nuances.
But it’s also a social media platform, so visual content matters.
Tweets that include images receive more clicks, favorites, and retweets.
Does this mean all of your tweets need images?
No, you will probably be posting too frequently for that.
Instead think about your most important tweets—the ones you want to have legs.
Use images for these tweets and they’ll travel farther.
COMPLETE YOUR PROFILE
Your Twitter profile is a key way to introduce yourself to future leads.
So make sure it is complete and up-to-date.
Use a professional headshot and gripping background image.
Try to put as much information about yourself as possible in your profile.
And make sure you include a link to your website.
