Last week I made a decision to read more...comment less
Now with all the talk of social media experts...when you think about it..those that are doing it and successfully are social media experts.
What works for one may not work for another.
Bill Gassett is a social media expert to me but I could never nor would I want to follow his footsteps..its his voice...his expertise and I am truly impressed as he is the social media real estate expert for his area.
How about Lane Bailey now that branding! Then there is Mary McKnight...WOW is all I can say...and while some might view as extreme it works for her and again...I could never pull off what she does but for her it works very well and I admit I find her truly entertaining.
Think about TLW now she has it down to a science...no I can't see myself being the prankster that she is or how about Jeff Turner .....heck even Demi Moore (one of my personal favorites) the list goes on and on.
Each and every person is an individual...and clearly with social media its each persons voice...and their voice determines the level of expertise based on the results that they are looking for AND results that they obtain.
Recently one of the Wright Brothers were featured on the main dashboard...the post was amazing but what I got out of just reading one post lead me to many places.
As I watched a presentation...I was really enthralled...it wasn't mere words...but what I have been thinking and feeling lately and in truth has caused a shift in the way that I think..the exciting part..I wanted more...I continued to watch every video they had.
If you really want a clear picture of social media at it's finest watch the video below! Please don't tell you don't have the time...because in the long run you might have a better understanding of what social media is all about.
And remember you must find your voice and then do what social media experts do....more than likely they do what many others do but add a personal touch..and with their own flava and manage to be true to themselves but the common factor with these social media experts they do it their way!

Goodness Midori. Looking at the list of social media venues you work, it appears that you are more than a social network expert, you are a social network MAVEN.
This is a cool list. This is something I'm in the mood for right now!
Midori --- thanks for your effort in putting this post together --- the video is awesome. I'm really working on this now, so your post is very timely for me.
Hear! Hear! You Social Media Diva! Loved this post!

Hi Midori and thanks for the mention. You sent me a couple of readers just today... And branding and social networking are very personal. What works for one fails for another... we have to be ourselves. Luckily for you that is a good thing.
;^ )
Yeah I really think you just have to get out there and try.
Midori - I loved this post. And the video was top-notch. I have to come back and listen again - some great ideas to take my own thinking a step further (and with a talk coming up to a large Realtor expo, the timing couldn't be better).

Good morning Midori,
I have watched about half of the video and will be back to watch it all later today. Gotta get ready for work. This is some good stuff ma'am and thank you for sharing.
I am sure this is a goodie...got a 6 pack of short sales to get on their LM way so no time right now..I will put it on my "reward" list for when I my eyes get uncrossed...enjoy !
Hi Midori - Great post. I wouldn't consider myself an expert in socail media at all but I try. And I'm learning all the time. Don't have time to watch the video right now so I will book mark and come back later. Have A Great Weekend!
So it was just you who was googling my name ~ I was hoping it was someone looking to sell a million dollar home - LOL:) Hope you are doing well! I have been too busy to be around much. I am an AR slacker at the moment.
Hi Midori,
Thank you for the link to our video and the kind words. Social networking is a lot of fun when done with the right approach (oh, and there's money to be made too). It's great to see more Realtors getting involved. Cheers.
