Virtual Views News Blog

There has been a lot of talk about the new updates that Facebook has rolled out recently (hello blue tab “Top Story” and new layout).  I haven’t decided yet whether I like or loathe it.  I’ll have to let it marinate for a while first.  Whatever your feelings are about it, there’s a reason Facebook seems to be kicking Google+’s little booty.  Social networking continues to be a great tool for real estate professionals to integrate their business savvy in a social arena.  Now, one of the best information sharing programs available online has joined in on the social networking bandwagon.  Slideshare has gone social.

When you log in to your free Slideshare account, you will find that you now have a newsfeed (like Facebook) that shares what your friends have recently uploaded, comments on your presentations, Slideshare’s feature presentations, who has been looking at your profile recently and when someone in your friend network follows someone new so you can check them out for yourself.  Your friends will be able to “favorite” your slideshows that they like, which then gives you exposure on their network of friends, extending your slideshow’s reach even further.  By having the ability to view and read commentary on what your friends are looking into, you can determine whether you feel their friends are worth following as well, thus building your social network through Slideshare.

As we are all well aware of, social networking has become a mainstay in our personal and professional lives.  If utilized properly, it can be an exceptional tool in your real estate business.  Now that Slideshare has gone social, you can use your Slideshare presentations to an even bigger advantage in building your real estate business.  Contact me now to find out how you can harness the power of social networking to create a strong presence for yourself and your business online.
