Rules of Engagement with Your Social Media Manager
If you’ve landed here and aren’t sure what a social media manager is… well, it’s the person who writes and posts your Facebook posts, interacts with your followers on Twitter, and pins images related to your industry on Pinterest. With so many social media channels available—and with the landscape changing so quickly—it makes sense to delegate these responsibilities to one or more people. And the role is not an easy one. Your social media manager wears many hats: writer, graphic designer, customer service representative, data analyst. Whether you have a social media manager on your team, or you outsource your social media to a firm that specializes in it, following these guidelines will help you achieve better results.
Quick WordPress Websites for Realtors
There’s no question that, if you’re a realtor, you need a website—particularly if you’re here in Texas, where the market is searingly hot. With so many real estate agents out there vying for the next sale, you need to rise to the top by marketing yourself effectively. Many of the big real estate brokerages offer you your own website, but in our experience, the tools are pretty limited. Most will feature your photo, your phone number, and maybe—if you’re lucky—one or two of your listings. And when you move to a new brokerage (which seems to happen pretty often), you have no website to take with you. Instead, we advocate that realtors purchase their own domain name based on their name or something catchy and memorable, and point that domain to their own website.
WordPress Comments: How to Handle Them
So, you’ve got a shiny new WordPress website/blog. And you’re excited about getting comments and starting a community… not to mention attracting more traffic to your website. Or maybe you’re not! Perhaps you have no idea why WordPress comments might be useful and don’t want to waste time responding to them. And what about spam? Do spam comments mean your site is hacked? Because WordPress got its start as a blogging platform, comment functionality is deeply ingrained in the software. Learn how to harness the power of comments to benefit your site.
