Facebook just released a Facebook Pages Manual that’s a nice Fan Page 101 guide. It’s worth reading if you’re a Facebook newbie but I recommend that you ignore the advice about connecting your mobile device to receive updates. The updates will drive you crazy after a while.

On Day 5 I basically took the day off to finish promoting Social Media Marketing Camp (SMM Camp) but still made some progress.
First I interviewed Mimi Bell, the organizer of the Art Walk and asked her how she expected the community site to help the community. Here’s what she said:
Then I quickly popped over to the site and was really surprised to see how many people had become fans. Read more..
Day 4 of Building a Local Community (to get more Real Estate Deals)

Results from Day 4 of my quest to use real estate social media to build a local community on Facebook that I can later leverage to drive more real estate business.
You can view Day 1, 2 and 3 at www.smmcamp.com/blog
Day 4 was a slow day for me as I took time off to produce promotional cards to give to business owners to distribute to their customers.

I went to Office Depot to print the promotional cards. They had a special of just $4.95 for 50 cards or $39.95 for 500 cards. The card is basically just a business card with the web address. I also bought little heart stickers from Target for about $7 for a few hundred stickers.
The goal is to have business owners distribute the cards to their customers. I expect that the site will go viral in a short period of time as people join and start to tell their friends. Read more..

This is Day 2 of my quest to use real estate social media to build a local community on Facebook that I can later leverage to drive more real estate business.
One Day 1 I set up the Niwot Fan Page on Facebook. One of the main features of the page is video so I decided to use video to promote the Fan Page and encourage the local community to join and participate in the site. Every visitor to the site is encouraged to submit a 12 second video about “Why I Love Niwot…” At the end of each week I’ll award a prize to the best videos. The prizes will all be donated by local business owners and are each worth about $25.
Here’s the sample video that I shot:

This is Day 1 of my quest to use real estate social media to build a local community on Facebook that I can leverage to drive more real estate business.
I made the decision to build my local community using Facebook Fan Pages. I was going to use Facebook Groups but decided at the last moment to change to a Fan Page because it can be accessed by non-members of Facebook.
So step 1 is to set up the Fan Page for my home town of Niwot, Colorado.
Setting up a Fan Page is really easy. Simply log in to your Facebook account and click on the Ads and Pages icon at the bottom of the page or you can also go to www.facebook.com/pages. Read more..
