Tip Tuesday: Content is King – Especially on Facebook
In the last few weeks or so, I have noticed an incredible amount of GOOD content coming down the pipeline. Like you, I subscribe to blogs, RSS feeds, Twitter lists, etc. But what has grabbed my attention lately has been my Facebook feed. Anyone who know me, knows that I am a huge fan of having a Facebook Fan Page. I think it is still one of the best ways that a brand, company, or individual can ’speak’ to it’s audience.
So today, I wanted to share with FOREM fans, a ’snippit’ of my Facebook feed and the articles that jumped out to me. You’ll notice that these articles are all across the board – not just real estate.
When talking to FOREM founder Joel Burslem awhile back – he reminded me of something so powerful and gave me some great advice: “Read blogs and news sources from outside your industry – we can learn so much by seeing what other successful companies and brands are doing – that aren’t necessarily in real estate.”
Here are the 10 stories I enjoyed from my Facebook feed today – in no particular order:

This is a great post – we have recently put a lot of effort into our FB page and any additional info is helpful. Does anyone know how to create a “custom” welcome page. I have seen these but cannot figure them out. Our shameless plug – visit our FB page – yeah!

Content is so important when it comes to any and every website that is marketing yourself. You want your visitors and clients to feel that you are credible and a professional in your business. I work in Boulder, CO and have a facebook, twitter, and personal website. With all of the current capabilities it is ludicrous to not promote yourself through the internet.

Content is solely the most important thing when it comes to any site or network on the internet. Users and customers will come to your site for the pure purpose of your content. The content provided on all of these such sites should absolutely be credible and interesting or you aren’t going to attract any users back to your site.
