What To Expect Once You Switch To The Facebook Timeline

January 25, 2012 By

Everyone is talking about the Facebook Timeline these days. Whether it’s in the office or on television, Facebook’s new profile is the hot topic. The Timeline hasn’t received great feedback from the Facebook users who have made the switch, so you might be hesitant to make the change yourself. If you haven’t seen the new Facebook Timeline, or you’ve seen it, but you don’t totally understand what’s going on with it, the following video is for you!

I recently switched my personal account to the Timeline just so I can show you exactly what to expect from your new Facebook profile. Keep in mind that switching to the Timeline is only an option for now, but soon all of Facebook’s 800 million users are going to have the new profile. That’s why I suggest making the switch now, so you can get used to the changes sooner rather than later. Facebook is one of the big ways real estate professionals do business, so by changing to the Timeline now you can avoid hiccups down the road (when your account is automatically switched for you).

I would love to know what you think of the Facebook Timeline! I’ve heard everything from “hate it” to “love it”. Please feel leave your comments below. I’ll share some of your feedback in a post down the road. You can also leave your comments with us on Twitter, Facebook, and Google+.

Facebook Timeline: Learn More About Your New Profile

January 10, 2012 By

Say goodbye to your old Facebook profile. You don’t have to bid farewell just yet, but you’ll have to soon. That’s because the world’s largest social network is shifting to the new Facebook Timeline. It’s a new profile that is completely different than the one you already have. Everyone is talking about the Facebook Timeline, but not everyone completely understands the new profile. Check out this video to learn more about what your Facebook profile is going to be like in the near future:

Like I mentioned in the video, the Facebook Timeline profile is available to everyone, but you don’t have to make the change yet. The key word in that last sentence is YET. Everyone will be forced into using the timeline profile down the road. I can’t say that I’m a huge fan of change, but in this case we all have to accept the inevitable. When you take that approach, you might actually get excited about some of the new features (like I am).

I would love to know what you think of the Facebook Timeline. If you think it’s terrible, let me know. The same goes for if you love the new profile. You can leave a comment below, connect with me on Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube, or email me at tim@powerupsocialmedia.com.

Manage Twitter, Facebook, And LinkedIn ALL With TweetDeck

November 4, 2011 By

The biggest complaint I hear is that it’s impossible to juggle all of your social media accounts. Since you need to be using Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Google+ for your real estate business, I understand how overwhelming it can be. I’ve gone through the same exact struggles myself. I don’t suffer anymore though. That’s because of a social media dashboard called TweetDeck. With TweetDeck, you can manage your Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn accounts all in one place for FREE. It’s made my life much easier and it can do the same for you. Check out this video to learn how!

As you just saw in the video, TweetDeck isn’t just for Twitter (although it is the official social media dashboard for Twitter). It allows you to post to Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn all with one push of a button. On top of that, TweetDeck makes managing your accounts a lot easier, it allows you to scheduled your posts, and it also includes a killer search tool to help you network (plus so much more).

I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again: TweetDeck makes managing your social media accounts so much easier. Trust me when I say that you want TweetDeck for your real estate business. It’s absolutely free, so you have everything to gain by trying it out. You can get your hands on TweetDeck at http://tweetdeck.com/.

There is another great social media dashboard called HootSuite (as I mentioned in the video). I manage Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn on my cell phone with that application. They have a version for your computer as well. You honestly can’t go wrong with either TweetDeck or HootSuite. You can learn more about HootSuite at HootSuite.com.
